Nutritional Advances in Buffalo Calves: Protected Nutrient in Focus provides a comprehensive look into the evolving field of buffalo calf nutrition, emphasizing the critical role of protected nutrients like bypass protein and bypass fat. The book underscores the importance of feeding strategies designed to maximize nutrient retention and utilization, especially during the early growth stages of buffalo calves, which are vital for ensuring long-term productivity. Through detailed exploration of bypass protein, such as formaldehyde-treated meals, and bypass fat, it shows how these nutrients escape ruminal degradation and are absorbed directly in the intestines, enhancing muscle growth, energy supply, and overall health.Key nutritional advances are highlighted, such as improvements in feed conversion efficiency, body weight gain, nutrient digestibility and microbial protein synthesis. These results have led to reduced feed costs and improved economic efficiency for farmers. The use of advanced technologies, like rumen-protected nutrient encapsulation and feed additives, further enhances the nutritional profile of the feed, contributing to better gut health and performance in calves.
