This study is aimed at evaluating the effects of feed additives on health status and live weight gain in calves. In the experiment, calves were divided into two groups. The first group, the experimental group, was administered RumiForm Digest and RumiForm Digest Yeast+. The second group, the control group was not exposed to any feed additives. The birth weight of calves in both groups was at the same average values 38 kg. The average weight of the calves at 7 days of age was 46 kg in the control group and the average weight of the experimental group was measured to be 48 kg. A more significant difference in average weights was observed at 90 days after birth. In the control group, the average weight was 137 kg, while in the experimental group the average weight was 152 kg.
Diarrhoea occurred in both the control and experimental groups. The highest incidence of diarrhoea was recorded in the control group. Diarrhoea disease was recorded in 11 % of the 202 calves. Mortality occurred in both the experimental and control groups. The overall mortality rate was 3.5 %. In this study, a beneficial effect of probiotic feed supplements on growth was demonstrated. At 7 days after birth and on the 90th day after birth, the p-value < 0.01. The effect of probiotic feed supplements on health status was not demonstrated in this experiment. The p-value was > 0.05 for the incidence of diarrhoea and for the comparison of mortality. From the data obtained, it can be confirmed that the administration of probiotic feed supplements has a positive effect on weight gain. But a positive effect on health status could not be demonstrated.
