Effect of Spirulina Platensis Supplementation in Suckling Calves

The neonatal period of dairy calves may be associated with multiple stressful incidents that negatively impact immune response and animal performance; therefore, there is an increased demand for antioxidants to reduce the deleterious effects of free radicals on the immune system.

In this booklet we study the effect of supplementation of nutrient rich natural source (spirulina platensis) on growth, some biochemical and immunological parameters in suckling calves.
