M astitis, an inflammatory reaction of the mammary gland, is regarded as most common infectious disease dairy cows resulting in considerable economic losses for both farmers and milk processors (Halasa et al., 2007; Geary 2012).It characterized by physical, chemical bacteriological changes pathological transformations glandular tissue udder.Almost all cases bovine mastitis are associated with bacteria; however yeasts, fungi or algae may also be involved (Hogan 1999).Mastitis initiated after...

Zinc (Zn), an important microelement in ruminant diet, plays a critical role various enzymes, hormones and functional proteins involved nutrient metabolism. The present study was conducted to assess the effect of zinc hydroxychloride (Zn5(OH)8Cl2·H2O [ZnOHCl] sulphate (ZnSO4) on utilisation, mineral metabolism biomarkers pertaining growth performance pre-ruminant crossbred calves. Twenty-four calves [body weight (BW); 31.03 ± 4.30 kg; age 10 d] were randomly allocated four treatment groups...

The present study was designed to analyzes the seasonal variations in diet composition, nutrient intake and digestibility of sub-alpine pastures Kashmir valley mature sheep. experiment conducted two seasons summer (June) autumn (October) at locations (MRCSG, Shuhama, Location-I SBF, Dachigam, Location-II) having different vegetative covers. apparent most nutrients higher (P<0.05) than season. ME, TDN DCP contents were both locations. Dry matter from winter their corresponding digestibilities...

Optimum productivity in ruminants is positively related to efficient rumen fermentation. Apart from major nutrients diet, micronutrients (trace elements and vitamin B complex) play an essential role maintaining proper function; however the effect depends on source level of supplementation.Therefore, present study was conducted compare effects different sources hydroxy inorganic zinc vitro fermentation parameters. Different levels (0, 40, 80, 160 ppm) Zn as chloride (Zn5(OH)8Cl2) sulfate...

The study was designed to analyze the seasonal dynamics of nutritive value endemic plant species (Berberis lycium, Indigofera heterentha, Parrotiopsis jacquemontiana, Rosa macrophylla and webbiana) composite pasture grasses in different age groups sheep using double indicator method. Twenty Kashmir Merino from two each season summer (June) autumn (October) were selected divided into Group I (about 4 months age) II (1–2 years a 2 × factorial design. metabolizable energy (ME) plants range...

Hindko is an Indo-Aryan language spoken in the Hazara and Azad Kashmir regions. The current research aims to analyze interlanguage syllabification of English by Pakistani-Hindko speakers under optimality theory (Prince &amp; Smolensky, 1993). study argues that syllabify syllables influenced L1. uses elicitation method collect data. was analyzed framework. analyses markedness alignment constraints predict stop clusters at word medial position speakers. finds Hindko-English can be correctly...

The study was undertaken to assess the socio-economic status of animal rearers, available feed resources and feeding management practices livestock at different zones in Gurez valley Kashmir. A baseline survey conducted obtain information three arbitrary zones, viz. lower, middle upper Gurez. carried out villages each zone where seven farmer families per village were selected randomly for study. total 63 households owning interviewed using a pre-tested structured questionnaire through direct...

The study aimed to evaluate the feed intake and growth performance of local Kashmir merino lambs grazing on sub-alpine pastures valley in 2 seasons (summer autumn). male weaner (50), 25 each season were selected for experiment. A 10-day digestion trial was conducted by indirect indicator method with chromium oxide as external indicator. Apparent digestibility nutrients higher summer than autumn. Feed nutrient intakes (DMI, DMI/kg, MEI CPI) Average daily gain slightly more (41 g/day) autumn...

feeding trial to study the supplementation effect of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) cocktail and wormwood herb on serum lipid profile was conducted for 90 days in twenty crossbred lambs that were divided into four equal groups viz. T0 (Control) T1, T2 T3 (treatment groups). received total mixed diet (TMR) without any supplementation, while treatments TMR supplemented either with EFE alone @ 0.60% (T1) or 4.50% (T2) a combination two feed additives (T3). At end trial, 6 digestibility...

Haemato-biochemical profile serve as clinical indicator for the effect of dietary manipulations on physiological health status. The present study was undertaken with aim to assess in-feed supplementation Artemisia absinthium Linn. (wormwood) herb feed additive blood metabolic (BMP) in sheep. Crossbred lambs (n=15) 4–6 months age were allotted three groups completely randomized design and fed a period 90 days followed by 6 day digestibility trial. Animals all offered oats straw based complete...

Anthelmintic activity to dietary incorporation of exogenous fibrolytic enzymes (EFE) and wormwood (Artemisia absinthium L.) herb as feed additives was evaluated. Twenty crossbred lambs (11.58±0.01 kg body weight) were distributed into four treatments in completely randomized design fed for a period 90 days followed by 6 day digestibility trial. Animals all the groups offered oats straw based total mixed ration added with EFE’s cocktail at 0.60% substrate dry matter (DM) level (T1) or 4.50%...
