Abstract

In a completely randomized design, 24 Holstein male calves (275 kg initial BW) were used for evaluating the effects of CLINOPTILOLITE on rumen ammonia nitrogen, plasma urea nitrogen, feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of Holstein calves. Animals were assigned randomly to one of three dietary treatments for 110 days as follows: group 1; %0urea and 0% CLINOPTILOLITE, group 2; %2 urea without CLINOPTILOLITE, group 3; %2 urea with %4 CLINOPTILOLITE. Average daily gain and feed conversion ration was differ (P<0.05), but differences for feed intake were not significant. Means for average daily gain were 1.3, 1.21 and 1.26 kg/day, for feed intake were 7.64, 7.59 and 7.68 kg/day, for feed conversion ratio were 5.81, 6.04 and 5.93, respectively. Plasma urea nitrogen and rumen ammonia nitrogen were influenced by diets (P<0.05), with the highest means in group 2 and lowest one in group 1. Hot carcass weight and eye muscle diameter were changed among treatments (P<0.05). Abdominal fat weight and fat diameter on eye muscle were high in control group and low in group 2. Group 3 was between another two groups in all parameters. Treatments affected (P<0.05) the protein and fat percentage of 9-10-11 ribs, with the highest protein percentage in group 2 and the lowest in control group. In conclusion, addition of CLINOPTILOLITE to diet containing urea not only decrease ruminal ammonia nitrogen and plasma urea nitrogen concentrations, but also had partial positive effect on feedlot performance and carcass characteristics of Holstein calves.
