Fifteen crossbred male calves (10-12 months old) were randomly divided into three groups of 5 each based on body weight. Control group (T1) was fed on groundnut cake-based concentrate mixture, whereas in the concentrate mixture of groups T2 and T3, protein of groundnut cake was replaced with deoiled sunflower cake at a rate of 33 and 66%, respectively. After experimental feeding for 105 days, a 7-day metabolism trial was conducted.
