Abstract. Organization of standardized, balanced, complete and rational feeding is the main factor characterizing an effective economic model in animal husbandry. One of the special places is given to biological regulators of metabolic processes - vitamins and their derivatives (vitamin-like substances, vitamin metabolites). These compounds have a preventive, therapeutic and growth-stimulating effect on the body. Feeding dairy calves with choline chloride and liquid betaine allows increasing the gross gain in calves in the experimental group by 22.0%, average daily gain by 22.0%, live weight of calves by 2.0% and reducing feed conversion and OE costs by 18.0% and 18.1%, respectively, compared to the control animals.

Keywords: calves, milk period, feeding, choline chloride, liquid betaine, gross growth, biochemical parameters, hematological parameters
