    EFFECT OF HYDROPONIC MAIZE FODDER WITH REPLACEMENT OF CO4 GRASS ON MILK PRODUCTION IN CROSSBRED DAIRY CATTLE
    (2017) Rachel Jemimah E; Tensingh Gnanaraj P; Muthuramalingam T, et al.; TANUVAS
    Egg and poultry meat production in tribal areas of North East region are largely dependent on backyard farming with indigenous chicken breed which have a very low level ofpr0ductivity.The present study was carried out to evaluate the production performance of Srinidhi birds in backyard system as compared to indigenous chicken variety available in Garo Hills of Meghalaya. The study was conducted on 600 numbers of Srinidhi birds reared by 30 different farmers in two villages of West Garo Hills (Mandagre and Okkapara Songgitcham) of Meghalaya.

    PRODUCTIVITY, NUTRITIVE VALUE, GROWTH RATE, BIOMASS YIELD AND ECONOMICS OF DIFFERENT HYDROPONIC GREEN FODDERS FOR LIVESTOCK
    (2017) Rachel Jemimah E; Tensingh Gnanaraj P; Muthuramalingam T, et al.; TANUVAS
    The experiment was aimed to produce fodders by hydroponic method using seeds commonly available in Tamil Nadu and to identify the most economical seed source for green fodder production by hydroponic method. Different seeds such as yellow maize, horse gram, sun hemp, jowar, ragi, cowpea, foxtail millet and bajra were selected for the study. Productivity, nutritive value, growth rate, biomass yield and economics of different hydroponic green fodders were studied. lt was observed that sun hemp (10 kg), horse gram (6 kg) and cowpea (6.6 kg) has significantly higher biomass yield; yellow maize (4.6 kg) and foxtail millet (4.5 kg) has moderate, biomass yield; jowar (3.7 kg), ragi (3.5 kg) and bajra (3.0 kg) has lower biomass yield per kg of seed used.
