The main aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of diverse probiotic strains on the health of the calves during the period of colostrum and milk feeding. The blood samples were also collected to check the level of immunoglobulins in the blood plasma and for the blood count test. Not only all groups significantly surpassed the normal BRIX value which is 8.4 % BRIX but also all calves that received Bifidobacterium supplementation had higher BRIX levels, indicating that Bifidobacterium supports effective passive immunity transfer. In all three weighing there was found no statistical difference observed in average weight gain between groups. However, in the second and third weighing, the BEL combination still showed higher weight gain than any other experimental group. As for the frequency of diarrheal diseases, there were no significant differences between individual groups. Nevertheless, the experimental animals receiving single-strain Lactobacillus had a higher incidence of diarrhea compared to the control animals, meanwhile the opposite was observed in the Bifidobacterium experimental group. This study shows that supplementation with single-strain or combination probiotics did not significantly affect weight gain, BRIX levels, or the incidence of diarrheal diseases in calves. Despite a numerical increase in weight gain with combination probiotic supplementation, these differences were not statistically significant.
