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....

In vivo studies were conducted to observe the effect of feeding rice bran lyso-phospholipids (RBLP) and rumen protected fat (RPF) in 18 crossbred lactating Karan Fries (Holstein Friesian × Sahiwal) cows. They randomly allocated 3 treatment groups having 6 animals each group. Group 1 was supplemented with 2.5% mustard oil, group 2 6% RBLP 3% RPF concentrate mixture. All diets isocaloric isonitrogenous. cows given roughage: mixture (60: 40) ration roughage comprised berseem fodder (30%) wheat...

Methane (CH4) is a greenhouse gas which contributes significantly to global warming and significant proportion of atmospheric methane produced by livestock. Livestock contribute 18% (GHG) emissions. Apart from enteric emission, decomposition livestock manure under anaerobic conditions also source methane. The later condition arises in confined management system. There difficulty disposing off the excreta wastes on large scale; they are stored pits provide suitable environment for CH4...

In the present study oat hay and silage were compared for their methane (CH4) production nutrient utilization potential in Murrah buffaloes. Sixteen dry buffaloes (566.5± 12.5 kg live weight) selected from Livestock Research Centre of National Dairy Institute, Karnal. Animals distributed randomly into two groups (T1 T2) based on body weight. group T1 T2 offered silage, respectively along with supplementation mineral mixture salt. After feeding a duration 60 days, digestibility trial was...

The aim of present study was to determine the metabolizable protein (MP) requirements lactating buffaloes fed on silage based diet. Fifteen Murrah (Bubalus bubalis) were allocated into three treatments (n=5) basis milk production (7.10±0.40) and days in (118±5.0 d). nutrient met by feeding maize silage: concentrate mixture proportion 60: 40 for a period 96 days. MP level second treatment (Control; 11.1% DM basis) provided as per ICAR (2013) standards whereas one three, levels 10% lower (10%...
