Nanotechnology has a tremendous potential to revolutionize agriculture and livestock sector. It can provide new tools for molecular cellular biology, biotechnology, veterinary physiology, animal genetics, reproduction etc. which will allow researchers handle biological materials such as DNA, proteins or cells in minute quantities usually nano-liters pico-liters. like microfluidics, nanomaterials, bioanalytical nanosensors, the solve many more puzzles related health, production, prevention...
Aim: This study was carried out to evaluate groundnut haulms (GNH) as alternate feed source by its incorporation and assessment in terms of intake growth performance the diets broilers.Materials Methods: A total 240 1-day-old Cobb-400 broiler chicks were randomly assigned four dietary treatments each with three replicates (n=60).Experimental Birds group T1 fed conventional while birds T2, T3, T4 containing 2%, 4%, 6% GNH replacing maize soyabean on iso-nitrogenous basis.Results: Feed...
As per the World Health Organization (WHO) and Global Hunger Index, incidence of malnutrition Vitamin-A deficiency in preschool-age children is higher South-East Asian countries. Therefore, this study was envisaged to formulate value-added flavoured buffalo milk carry out sensory evaluation, nutritional analysis, storage characteristics total carotene content developed product. Flavoured prepared by incorporation Cucurbita pepo (Pumpkin) pulp ground sugar at a concentration 15% 10%,...
The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of pomegranate peel powder (PPP) supplementation on growth performance, carcass characteristics, haemato-biochemical parameters and return over feed cost in broiler chickens. A total 240 unsexed day-old chicks were randomly allocated into four treatment groups with replicates each. control group (T1) fed a standard basal diet as per BIS (2007). Groups T2, T3, T4 0.25, 0.5 1.0 % level PPP, respectively for six weeks. Results revealed that...
A study was carried out to investigate the effect of supplementation cumin (Cuminum cyminum) seed (CS)on production performance, nutrient digestibility and hemato-biochemical profiles lactating Mehsana goats.Twenty goats (7 days post-partum) were assigned randomly into two groups (10 animals ineach), control (CON: fed basal diet without supplement) treatment (CS: supplemented with10 g/animal/d CS) for duration 60 days. The final body weight significantly higher (38.09 vs. 34.04kg) in CS...
A study was conducted during the month of December, 2023 and January, 2024 to evaluate effect cow urine distillate Panchgavya supplementation on growth performance, nutrient digestibility, carcass characteristics blood biochemical parameters broiler chickens. total 200 day-old chicks were uniformly distributed into four treatment groups with 50 birds per for a period 42 days. The dietary treatments T1: Basal diet, T2: diet+1 ml (CUD) in drinking water bird-1 day-1, T3: day-1 T4: diet+50 mg...
A study was conducted during the month of December, 2020 to January, 2021 at Livestock Research Station, Kamdhenu University, Sardarkrushinagar, Gujarat (385506), India evaluate effect dietary sunflower oil supplementation on milk yield, fatty acid profile and nutrient digestibility Mehsana goats. Eighteen lactating goats were randomly divided into three treatment groups, viz. Basal diet (control), diet+25 g animal-1 day-1 diet+50 for a period 60 days. No significant differences (p>0.05)...
Graphene oxide (GO) and alumina (Al2O3) work in concert to give magnesium alloys advantageous surface qualities protection from adverse environments. This paper aims investigate the effect of laser treatment on plasma sprayed alumina-graphene coating AZ31D alloy. Key ablation quality responses; HAZ width, roughness rate were correlated with parameters using Response Surface Methodology optimised metaheuristic Cuckoo Search Algorithm Method. Laser power significantly influenced all...
A study was conducted to assess production performance, feed efficiency and their correlation in lactating Kankrej cows at organized farm. The variables such as average dry matter intake, milk yield, composition were evaluated 49 over a period of 30 days. mean intake 9.71±0.08 kg/d. yield energy corrected 12.45±0.35 kg/d 14.27±0.47 kg/d, respectively. Feed 1.48±0.05 cows, it significantly affected by milk. highly correlated with efficiency. Pearson’s square coefficient 0.96 between
The aim of the present study was to evaluate effects dietary ricinoleic acid from castor oil on milk yield, composition, fatty profile and haemato-biochemical in lactating Kankrej cows. Twenty cows were assigned following groups: control (CON), basal diet without any additive treatment (RAS), with 2 g/animal/day oil. Dietary had no (P>0.05) effect dry matter intake feed efficiency. Milk yield (milk, 4% fat corrected energy milk) not affected by feeding acid. composition showed significant...
