[Objective] The aim is to study the effect of adding yeast culture AYC-X6 to calf diet on growth and development in calves. [Method] A total of 90 calf calves of 2.5 months or more were selected as experimental cattle in calf cattle breeding base. Paired experiment design was used to divide the calves into 2 groups. [Results] The results showed that the average dry matter intake, daily gain and feed consumption of calves in the experimental group increased by 14.9%, 24.6% and 0.08% respectively compared with those in the control group. Body weight increased by 24.1%, body height, chest circumference, abdominal circumference and body oblique length increased by 5.1%, 11.3%, 12.8% and 24.9%, respectively. The contents of the first, second and third layers of fecal separation screens in the experimental group were 15%, 20% and 65% respectively. The serum total protein (BSA) and globulin (BGG) levels in the experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group. The levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group. [Conclusion] Adding yeast culture AYC-X6 to calf diet can improve feed digestibility, promote calf growth and development, and increase calf average daily gain and growth rate. The content of serum total protein and globulin were increased, the level of alanine aminotransferase, glutamic oxaloacetic aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase were decreased, the immune ability of calves was improved. |
