Abstract

The research was carried out to determine the effect of giving probiotics (EM-Effective Microorganisms) and mannan-oligosaccharide (MOS) to calves, separately or together, on growth parameters such as live weight gain (LWG), feed consumption (FC), feed efficiency (FE), body measurements, disease and survival rate with calf breeding costs. In the study, 76 calves (38 Holsteins and 38 Simmentals, 38 males, 38 females, 7±3 days old, 38±2 kg LW) were divided into 4 groups, including control group and 3 experimental groups, with 19 calves in each group. Unlike the control group, calves in the trial group were given 10 mL EM, 5 g MOS or 10 mL EM+5 g MOS by adding them to the milk. At the end of the study, it was determined that giving EM, MOS or EM+MOS to calves during the pre-weaning period did not significantly affect live weight (LW), LWG, dry matter consumption (DMC), FE, body measurements, disease rate and farm economy (total cost, total income and net profit). As a result, alternative feed additives to be preferred should both improve animal performance and contribute to the enterprise's economies.

Buzağılarda Probiyotik ve Mannan-Oligosakkarit Kullanımının Performans, Hastalık, Yaşama Oranı ve Karlılık Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Araştırma buzağılara probiyotik (EM-Etkin Mikroorganizmalar) ve mannan-oligosakkarit (MOS)’in ayrı ayrı veya birlikte verilmesinin canlı ağırlık artışı (CAA), yem tüketimi (YT), yemden yararlanma (YY) gibi büyüme parametreleri, vücut ölçüleri, hastalık ve yaşama oranı ile buzağı yetiştirme maliyetlerine etkisini belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Çalışmada 76 baş (38 baş Holstein ve 38 baş Simmental, 38 adet erkek, 38 adet dişi, 7±3 günlük yaşlı, 38±2 kg CA) buzağı, her grupta 19 buzağı olacak şekilde bir kontrol ve 3 deneme grubu olmak üzere 4 gruba ayrıldı. Deneme grubunda bulunan buzağılara kontrol grubundan farklı olarak 10 ml EM, 5 g MOS veya 10 ml EM+5 g MOS süte katılarak verildi. Çalışma sonunda süt emme döneminde buzağılara EM, MOS veya EM+MOS verilmesinin canlı ağırlık (CA), CAA, kuru madde tüketimi (KMT), YY, vücut ölçüleri ve hastalık oranı ile ekonomik göstergeleri (toplam maliyet, toplam gelir ve net kar) önemli oranda etkilemediği belirlendi (p>0.05). Sonuç olarak, tercih edilecek alternatif yem katkı maddeleri hem hayvan performansını iyileştirecek hem de işletme ekonomisine katkı sunacak nitelikte olmalıdır.
