- A study evaluated the effects of a polyherbal feed mixture on the growth and health of 40 Holstein calves, examining blood chemistry, biometry, and gene expression during their pre-ruminant to weaning period.
- The optimal treatment dosage of the polyherbal mixture was found to be 4 g/d, resulting in better weight gain, hip height, and thoracic girth compared to other doses.
- Gene analysis showed upregulation in processes related to immune response and metabolism, indicating beneficial effects on the calves' health and growth from the herbal treatment.
