| Abstract | ||
| The effect of two types of anabolic implants (Raigro and Synovex-S) on the performance traits and the metabolic profile of male buffalo calves 248.75 = 25 kg, was studied in a 90-day The calves were fed on a basal ration experiment of concentrates and roughages. (Raigro and Synovex-S) implantation increased significantly (P < 0.5) the total body gain, average weight gain, and feed/gain ratio in implanted calves. Gain and relative gain of the Synovex-S group showed significant (P< 0.05) increase at each time phase of the experiment compared to the control and showed insignificant increase in albumin, RBCs, and WBCs due to implantation. Total lipids and cholesterol values showed a significant (P < 0.05) increase by implantation and reached the maximum at 60 days compared to the control. Raigro and Synovex-S groups demonstrated significant (P < 0.05) increase in hemoglobin value at 60 d of implantation | ||
