The present experiment was conducted on twenty four female Sahiwal calves of 4 to 8 months age. Calves were subjected to four treatment groups viz. 100 per cent of ICAR feeding and routine management (T1), 100 per cent of ICAR feeding and improved management (T2), 120 per cent of ICAR feeding and routine management (T3) and 120 per cent of ICAR (Indian Council of Agricultural Research) feeding and improved management (T4). The mean rectal temperature was 38.21 ± 0.029, 38.00 ± 0.023, 37.98 ± 0.03 and 38.23 ± 0.025 ºC in the morning and 38.89 ± 0.027, 38.94 ± 0.030, 39.15 ± 0.020 and 38.68 ± 0.023 ºC in the evening, the mean respiration rate was 25.50 ± 0.070, 25.61 ± 0.076, 25.50 ± 0.047 and 25.61 ± 0.072 per minute in the morning and 26.75 ± 0.218, 26.89 ± 0.218, 27.25 ± 0.295 and 26.39 ± 0.080 per minute in the evening and average pulse rate was 52.76 ± 0.099, 52.86 ± 0.097, 52.82 ± 0.100 and 52.80 ± 0.096 per minute in the morning and 53.91 ± 0.153, 53.98 ± 0.162, 54.91 ± 0.139 and 52.98 ± 0.136 per minute in the evening respectively for T1, T2, T3 and T4 group. The rectal temperature, respirations rate and pulse rate in evening were significantly (P<0.01) influenced by management systems. The time spent in rumination and resting was significantly influenced by the levels of feeding. The time spent by labourer for water splashing and care of calf per day were significantly (P < 0.01) influenced by levels of feeding as well as management system.
