Abstract

This study investigated the comparative effects of Miosta-H and Bodifors biostimulants on the physiological parameters and body weight growth of calves. The experiment was conducted on nine six-month-old Red Desert breed calves raised at the “Abduolim Qudratov” cattle farm in Surkhandarya region, Uzbekistan. The animals were divided into three groups consisting of three calves each. The first experimental group received Miosta-H intramuscularly at a dose of 1.5 ml per calf, administered twice at a 30-day interval. The second experimental group received Bodifors intramuscularly at a dose of 6 ml per calf every 14 days, for a total of four administrations. The third group served as the control and received no treatment. The trial lasted for two months under identical feeding and management conditions. Physiological indicators and body weight were monitored throughout the study. The results showed no significant changes in the physiological parameters of calves treated with either biostimulant. Calves receiving Miosta-H exhibited an increase of 10 kg (4.4%) in body weight, while those treated with Bodifors showed an increase of 6.5 kg (2.9%). The findings suggest that both biostimulants positively influence growth performance, with Miosta-H demonstrating a comparatively greater effect on body weight gain.
