Abstract

This study sought to determine the impact of supplementing with L-arginine on some blood parameters, hormones metabolites and immunoglobulin concentration of suckling Friesian calves. Twenty-four newborn Friesian calves were used in this study, which extended from birth until weaning. Blood samples were collected to estimate the haematological components, along with some chemical components in blood plasma. Haematological data showed that the treated groups (G2 and G3) had significantly greater levels red blood cells (RBCs), white blood cells (WBCs), packed cell volume (PCV%) value (P
