The present investigation was undertaken to study the effect of
winter and spring seasons on growth performance of male and female Nili
Ravi buffalo calves. The various observations pertaining to male and female
calf birth weight, date of birth, calf No., initial age in days from the start of
fortnightly body weight (F0) and subsequently fortnightly body weights (F1
to F6) during winter and spring seasons were recorded. The average daily
weight gain (F1 to F6), of 766.66, 281.33, 352.66, 505.33, 246.0 and
308.68 g in female calves in spring and average daily weight gain (F1 to
F5) of 394.66, 288.66, 552.66, 410.66 and 782.0 g in winter season was
recorded. The average daily weight gain (F1 to F5) of 436.66, 237.33,
422.00, 330.66 and 628.66 g in male calves during winter and average daily
weight gain (F1 to F6) of 360, 440, 716.66, 314.66, 475.33 and 558.0 g
during winter-spring was recorded. It was concluded that the overall mean
of calf birth weight was 35.45 kg. The mean birth weight of buffalo calves
was 35.00 kg for females and 35.92 kg for males. The birth weight of male
calves was higher than the birth weight of female calves. The average body
weight gain per animal was higher during spring months as compared to
winter months.
