ArticleItem Open Access A Clinical case of Pervious Urachus (Urinary Fistula) in a Female Calf(1976) Manickam, R; Sadasivam, P; Kathaperumal, V; TANUVASA case: of pervious urachus (Urinary fistula) is recorded in a heifer calf.ArticleItem Open Access COMPARATIVE EGG PRODUCTION PERFORMANCE OF KHAKI CAMP-BELL AND DESI DUCKS UNDER INTENSIVE SYSTEM OF REARING(1991) Sheriff, FR; Kathaperumal, V; Srinivasan, G; TANUVASForty ducks each of Khaki Campbell and Desi breeds were divided randomly into four replicates and reared on deeplitter from 22 weeks of age. The data on egg production, egg weight and feed consumption were collected from 24 to 48 weeks of age and the feed efficiency was calculated.ArticleItem Open Access GROWTH PERFORMANCE AND CARCASS QUALITY OF LARGE WHITE YORKSHIRE PIGS FED ON RATIONS CONTAINING GRADED LEVELS OF SAMAI (PANICUM MILIA RE)(1988-12) Kathaperumal, V; Kadirvel, R; TANUVASSamai {Panicum miliare), a drought resistant minormillet contained 8.8 per cent CP, 5.4 per cent EE, 7.7 per cent CF, 73.0 per cent NFE, 5.1 per net total ash, 17.6 per cent NDF and 10.5 per cent ADF on DM basis. GE content was 16.9 MJ/kg. In feeding trial I, Large white Yorkshire piglets reared on a diet containing 20 per cent samai reached 80 kg live weight in 126 d after weaning as against 136 and 152 d on diets containing zero and 60 per cent samai respectively.ArticleItem Open Access MACRO AND MICRO MINERAL CONTENT IN CERTAIN TREE LEAVES OF TAMIL NADU(1987-06) Murugan, M; Ravi, R; Kathaperumal, V; TANUVASMacro and micro minerals were estimated in Ficus religiosa, Azardirachta indica, Enterolobium saman, Albizia lebbeck and Millingtonia hortensis tree leaves. Ca level (3.53'3,) in A. lebbeck was highest. Tree leaves in general contained higher Ca content than common fodders. The P content was comparable to common fodders. Cu content was highest in F. religiosa leaves. E. saman leaves were very low in Mg content. The toxic mineral (Mo) was below toxic level in all tree leaves. The studies suggested that the mineral content in tree leaves of coastal state of lndia were adequate for livestock nutrition except for Mg content of E. samanArticleItem Open Access A NOTE ON RECYCLING OF SWINE EXCRETA FOR FEEDING CALVES(1986) Kathaperumal, V; Muthu, Bernard; TANUVASInclusion of animal and industrial wastes in the rations of ruminants is receiving constant attention due to continuous pressure on conventional feed ingredients.ArticleItem Open Access A NOTE ON RECYCLING OF SWINE EXCRETA FOR FEEDING CALVES(1986) Kathaperumal, V; Muthu, Bernard; TANUVASInclusion of animal and industrial wastes in the rations of ruminants is receiving constant attention due to continuous pressure on conventional feed ingredients. Dried faeces from fattening swine contains 27 per cent crude protein and is reported to be lower in crude fibre and cell wall constituents as compared to dehydrated layer waste (Bhattacharya and Taylor, 1975). Gilka et al., (1978) used swine excreta in growing and finishing swine rations 1nd Ngian and Pearch (1980) in rations of sheep after alkali treatment. Slanogias and pearce (1978) did not observe any undesirable effect of including swine excreta in the cattle rations though the digestibility of nutrients decreased with increased level of inclusion. In the present study inclusion of sundried swine excreta in the ration of growing crossbred calves on the performance characteristics was investigated.ArticleItem Open Access NUTRITIVE EVALUATION OF VAGAI (AEBIZIA LEBBECK) LEAVES FOR GOATS(1987-01) Murugan, M; Kathaperumal, V; TANUVASNutritive evaluation of Vagai (Albizia lebbeck) leaves was made using Tellichery bucks. The CP content in leaves was 22.9%. The average DM intake was 1.77 kg per 100 kg body weight. Tlte DCP and TDN contents were 14.68 and 57.28% respectively. The results indicate that vagai is a palatable tree fodder and can form a maintenance ration for goats.ArticleItem Open Access NUTRITIVE VALUE OF HAMIL GRASS AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF MATURITY(1994) Murugan, M; Kathaperumal, V; TANUVASNutrient contents of grass at different stages of maturity varies for different species. Fixing the optimum stage of harvests for each grass species is necessary for better animal production. Hamil grass, a selection from guinea grass (Panicum maximum) is noted for its quick rejuvenating capacity and drought tolerance. While the stage of harvest has been optimised for guinea grass. no such information is available for hamil grass.‘ In this paper nutrient evaluation of hamil grass harvested at three different stages of maturity (35, 45 or 55 d) is discussed.ArticleItem Open Access NUTRITIVE VALUE OF STYLOSANTHES HAMATA AT DIFFERENT STAGES OF MATURITY(1986) Murugan, M; Kathaperumal, V; Jothiraj, S; TANUVASNutritive evaluation of Stylosamfhes hamata harvested at 45,60 and 75 days interval was made using Madras Red rams. The CP content significantly decreased from 16.08 to 14.98% Fibre fractions increased and digestibility of organic nutrients decreased as the piant matured.ThesisItem Open Access Nutritive Value of Urea Treated Sorghum Stover(TANUVAS, 1991) Natarajan, A; TANUVAS; Kadirvel, R; Kathaperumal, V; Jayasundar, SArticleItem Open Access Preliminary Studies on the Proximate Composition of Nutritive Value of Gliricidia Maculata Leaves for Goats(TANUVAS, 1985) Murugan, M; Kathaperumal, V; Jothiraj, S; TANUVASNutritive evaluation of Gliricidia maculata leaves was made using three Tellicheri bucks in a 67 days feeding trail. The leaves were found to be rich in crude protein (20.58%) and the average dry matter consumption was 3.26 kg / 100 kg body weight. Average digestible coefficient for DM, CP, EE, CF and NFE were 56.31, 84.55, 36.20, 59.83 and 50.54% respectively. The DCP and TDN contents were 17.40 and 55.66% respectively with narrow nutrive ratio of 2.19. The bucks were on positive nitrogen balance with average daily gain of 65 g.
