The present study aimed to evaluate the use of soybean milk (SBM) as a substitute of buffalo milk (BM) in feeding newborn calves. A feeding experiment was conducted using 32 newborn buffalo calves (16 males and 16 females). Animals were divided into four similar groups, 8 calves in each and fed the respective four feeding treatments :(1) BM + SBM (1:1) till weaning age, (2) BM + SBM (1:2) till weaning age, (3) SBM till weaning age and (4) BM till weaning age. All groups were offered calf starter and berseem hay besides the experimental treatments ad lib from the second week of age till weaning. Fresh water was available all time. Daily feed intake and biweekly body weight for each calf was recorded. Four digestibility trails were carried out during the experiment at the fifteen week of age to determine the nutritive value of the experimental rations.
