abstract = {This research evaluated the impact of feeding green calf starter fortified with whey-dangke on Holstein Friesian dairy calves' economic feasibility, growth performance, and health parameters. Experimental diets were applied to 18 Holstein Friesian dairy calves using a randomized complete factorial design with two factors: type of calf starter and level fortification of whey-dangke. The results showed that calves fed different types of calf starter, the level of whey-dangke fortification, and the interaction between the two factors had no significant effect (p>0.05) on physiological, hematological, and blood biochemical. However, the alanine aminotransferase (ALT) parameter had an interaction; the ALT values in the green calf starter treatment fortified with 5% whey-dangke exhibited a highly significant difference (p},
