To evaluate some forage feeds of ruminants in terms their carbohydrate (CHO) and protein fractions using Cornell Net Carbohydrate Protein System (CNCPS).Eleven ruminant (six green fodders - maize, oat, sorghum, bajra, cowpea, berseem five range herbages para grass, guinea hedge lucerne, setaria grass hybrid napier) were selected for this study. Each feed was chemically analyzed proximate principles (dry matter, crude [CP], ether extract, organic matter ash), fiber (neutral detergent fiber,...
The presented study aimed at investigating the residual feed intake (RFI) of Sahiwal calves, nutrient utilisation as affected by RFI and its relationship with methane (CH4) emissions some blood metabolites. Eighteen male calves (10-18 months age; mean body weight 133 kg) were fed ad libitum a total mixed ration. After calculating for individual (-0.40 to +0.34 kg DM/d), they divided into three groups low, medium high RFI, respectively. Dry matter (DMI) was higher (p < 0.05) in Group High...
Summary This study was conducted to evaluate the utilisation of residual feed intake ( RFI ) as a efficiency selection tool and its relationship with methane emissions. Eighteen Murrah buffalo Bubalus bubalis heifers were fed ad libitum total mixed ration TMR for 120 days. Based on linear regression models involving dry matter DMI ), average daily gain ADG mid‐test metabolic body size MBW 0.75 assigned into low high groups. The varied from −0.09 +0.12 kg DM /day −0.05 0.05 in respectively....
The aim was to determine the chemical composition and metabolisable energy (ME) content of feedstuffs used in ruminant animals using vitro method.A total 18 for feeding including cultivated non-leguminous fodders like maize, sorghum, pearl millet, oat; leguminous cowpea berseem; agro-industrial by-products such as wheat bran, deoiled rice polish, straw, concentrates mustard oil cake, groundnut soybean meal, cotton seed grains oat, wheat, barley were taken this study. Chemical compositions...
The aim of this study was to evaluate differences in efficiency feed utilisation between buffalo calves with low and high residual intake (RFI) by comparing intake, nutrient digestibility, growth traits blood metabolites. Eighteen male Murrah (aged 4–6 months; 70 ± 1.0 kg body weight) were fed ad libitum a total mixed ration for 120 d. Based on linear regression models involving dry matter (DMI), average daily gain (ADG) mid-test metabolic size, assigned into RFI groups. varied from −0.33...
An experiment was conducted to predict the energy content (TDN- total digestible nutrients, DE- and ME- metabolizable energy) of some commonly used tropical concentrate feeds ruminants using summative approach model National Research Council (NRC) 2001, which is based on chemical composition values rather than digestion trial. Fourteen (six grains, three oilcakes, two protein meals, agro-industrial byproducts) were analyzed for their proximate principles, fiber components, neutral detergent...
Aim: To determine the metabolizable protein (MP) content of common indigenous feedstuffs used in ruminant nutrition using situ method.Materials and Methods: Nine feeds such as maize grain (MG), groundnut cake (GNC), mustard oilcake (MOC), cottonseed (CSC), deoiled rice bran (DORB), wheat (WB), berseem fodder (BF), (MF) sorghum (SF) were included this study.Each test feed was dried, ground chemically analysed for proximate principles (DM, CP, EE, OM, Total ash), fiber fractions (NDF, ADF,...
An experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of residual sodium carbonate (RSC) levels in irrigation water and their neutralization with gypsum/H2SO4 on sorghum during kharif season year 2013 micro-plots. The using randomised block design consisting 5 treatments different RSC [RSC-nil (control), RSC-5 meq/L, RSC-10 meq/L (neutralized gypsum), H2SO4)]. Increase concentration from 10 resulted reduction quality parameters like crude protein, yield but extent lesser while reclaimed gypsum...
The present study was undertaken to assess the effect of irrigation water salinity and verieties on forage yield quality pearl millet in north western India. experiment conducted with four main-plot treatments consisting levels saline i.e. normal (~0.6 dS/m) 3, 6 9 dS/m two sub-plot varieties AVKB-19 ICMV-15111. minimum DM content (15.71 16.68%), maximum CP (9.26 7.48%) (EE) (2.36 1.81%) recorded at 1st cut 2nd cut, respectively under good water. Among genotypes, (17.57 20.19%) cv....
A field experiment was conducted at Forage Research Block, ICAR-NDRI, Karnal during post rainy season of 2014 and 2015 to study the performance quality protein maize (QPM) cultivars under different planting windows. The treatments consisted four sowing times viz., Aug. 15, Sept. 5, 25 Oct. 15 in main plots five HQPM-1, HQPM-4, HM-10, African tall J-1006 subplots a split plot design. August recorded maximum plant height, leaf length, width, number leaves per plant, green fodder yield (53.49...
