Abstract

The probiotic effect of the proteic biomass for animal feeding (BIOPRANAL) in calves was tested on 40 selected Siboney neonates, with a mean live weight of 34 kg ± 0,23 and mean height of 65 cm ± 1,5 cm. The control and study groups comprised 20 calves, with a similar mean weight among the treatments. The study group was given an oral dose of 15 ml of BIOPRANAL/calf/day on alternate days during the 50-day experimental period. The results demonstrate an increased mean weight gain of 5,3 kg for the study group (p <0,05) and an increased height gain of 2 cm. The BIOPRANAL treatment also had positive health effects: the control group had 50% more animals illnesses a 10% of increase lymphocytes in the haematological in comparison with the study group. In economic terms, the study group with the probiotic treatment yielded a gain in value of 28,0% ($24,8) over the the control group. With these results, the use of the probiotic BIOPRANAL is recommended to improve weight gain and health parameters in calves.
