    Quantitative And Qualitative Dietary Restrictions And Their Influence On The Performance Of Layers And Broilers
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1989) Prasad, C. M.; R. R. P. Sinha
    On the basis of the experiment conducted on layers and broilers during different periods of their growth and production, the following conclusion may ne drawn. 1. Expeller pressed kosum cake (PKC) protein is not a suitable substitute for groundnut cake protein, however, it may be added in layers' diet upto a maximum level of 6.0 % of the mash for a short period during scarcity. 2. Solvent extracted kosum cake (SEKC) protein can replace the groundnut cake protein at 5% of the mash success fully. However, it may be used upto 20% level on isocaloric basis in layers diet for economical egg production for short period during scarcity. 3. Skip-a-day feeding during laying period is not economical, as such, it should not be practiced. 4.Skip-a-day feed with or without SEKC (0, 50 and 70 % replacement of groundnut cake nitrogen) supplementation during growing (13-22 weeks) period is beneficial for subsequent egg production in WLH chicks.

    Effect of Feeding Unconventional Cakes Mixture Supplemented With Lysine And Methionine On The Growth Performance In Broilers
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1989) Tappo, Saroj; A.K. Verma
    From the results summarized above it appeared that addition of the cake mixture of deoiled koranj cake and expeller pressed kosum cake at a definite proportion supplemented with lysine and methionine had depressing effect on growth performance, feed consumption, feed efficiency and dressing yield. In addition, it has definite histopathological effect on liver and kidney with the linear increase of the cake mixture in the treatment diets. The factors responsible for the depressing effects appear to be: (1) Due to unpalatability of the experimental diets containing increasing levels of cake mixture. 2.Due to increased level of crude fibre and oil content in the treatment diets, the higher level of crude fibre might have increased the rate of passage of digesta and may also interfere the nutrient balance during initial stage, whereas the oil content contain toxic agent(s) which might also be the cause of lower digestibility. 3.An imbalance of some of the essential amino acids and energy in the diet consequent upon the inclusion of deolled cakes and mathionine, lysine supplementation which by their comparative imbalance, are known to cause depressed growth performance in chicks. 4.It may be due to the probable presence of some unidentified anti-nutritional/toxic factor(s) in the cake mixture which were not assessed. As such, the observations made on the growth performance, dressing characters and the histopathological findings indicated that the cakes did not form a promising combination supplemented with methionine and lysine for its favorable inclusion in poultry diet. However, further detailed studies are warranted.

    EFFECT OF FEEDING UREA TREATED PADDY STRAW ON PERFORMANCE OF LACTATING COWS
    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1986) DATTA, KIRAN SHANKER; GUPTA, B.S.
    1.4% urea treatment of paddy straw at 50% moisture level stored for 4 weeks has significantly better effect on increasing its protein content and lowering the fiber content, which in turn increase the dry matter and protein degradability’s in rumen. It also lovers the oxalate content of paddy straw significantly which probably helps in better absorption of calcium and its retention. (2) The above processed straw also brings about improvement in digestibility of nutrients, retention of nitrogen, production of milk and its constituents. It also lowers the cost of production per liter of milk without any adverse effect on the health of the animals. (3) Concluding. it can be mentioned that 4% urea treated paddy straw at 50% moisture level when stored for 4 weeks has a powerful effect on the overall improvement of its nutritive value as well as economical productive performance of the animals.

    NUTRITIVE VALUE OF UREA TREATED PADDY STRAW AND ITS EFFECTS ON GROWTH AND NUTRIENT UTIVIZATION IN MALE BUFFALO- CALVES
    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1986) Singh, AJIT KUMAR; GUPTA, B.S.
    1. The paddy straw treated with 4% urea at 50% moisture level, and stored for a period of 4 weeks gave significantly better performance in enhancing its protein percentage and in lowering fibre and total oxalate contents, which, in turn, have increased dry matter and protein degradabilities in the rumen, as well. 2. In in-vitro studies, 4 or 5% urea treated paddy straw, stored for 3 to 4 weeks period at 2 to 4 hours of incubation, appeared to be the best in attaining peak concentrations of total-N, NH3-N and TVFA. 3. The feeding of 4% urea treated paddy straw, stored for 4 weeks, at 50% moisture level, without concentrate mixture, proved to be an improved roughage, having better nutritive value and palatability for the main tenance of buffalo-calves. Moreover, supplementation of concentrate is beneficial in respect of proper growth rate, digestibility co-efficients, feed efficiency ratio and cost of production. 4% urea treated paddy straw at 50% moisture level and stored for 4 weeks, mixed with karanj cake. containing concentrate mixture, exhibited maximam digestibility of nutrients, retention of nitrogen, feed gain ratio and cost, per kg body weight gain, along with highest growth rates in 150 days, without affecting the normal health of the animals in any way. Thus, it may be concluded that 4% urea treatment of paddy straw at 50% moisture level, when stored for 4 weeks, has pronounced effect, so as to bring about an overall improvement in its nutritive values as well as in the productive performance of animals.

    EFFECT OF UREA TREATMENT ON TANNIN CONTENT AND ITS INFLUENCE ON DIGESTIBILITY OF SAL SEED MEAL
    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1984) MAHESHWARI, Pavan kumar; GUPTA, B.S.
    1. Long term feeding trials should be conducted with UDSEN in growing, pregnant and lactating animals in order to see its performance on growth, pregnancy and lactation. 2. There is a need to develop an efficient and economical processing which could bring about higher removal of tannin with minimum loss of dry matter. 3. Long term feeding trials with larger quantity of incorporation of DSS after processing with suitable combinations of chemicals might be tried.

    EFFECT OF URINE TREATED PADDY STRAW ON GROWTH AND NUTRIENT UTILIZATION IN CROSS- BRED MALE CATTLE CALVES
    (Birsa Agricultural University) MATTOO, FAROOG AHMAD; SRIVASTAWA, J.P.
    1.Urea treatments at 6% concentration and 50% moisture level and urine treatment of paddy straw stored for 4 weeks has significant effects in increasing crude protein and lowering crude fibre percentage. (2) Urea treatment at 5% level and urine treatment in 1:1 ratio of paddy strav increased its dry matter and crude protein degradability’s/digestibility’s in the rumen. 3.Both urea/urine treatments of paddy straw has increased digestibility co-efficient of various nutrients. Balances of nitrogen, calcium and phosphorus were not affected by urea or urine treatment too much. Thus it could be concluded that both urea and urine treatment of low quality roughages have beneficial effects in increasing its nutritive value as well as on the productive performance of the animals.

    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1983) DATTA, Kamal Kanti; GUPTA, B.S.
    Suggestion for future research work i. More studies should be done in lactating cattle with this karanj cake. There is possibility to produce an economical ration with this unconventional cake if it is introduced in the ration at higher level as a protein supplement. ii. Long term trials are also necessary to study if there in any side effect of karanj cake in lactating cattle. 111. Further works can be carried out to study the effect of karanj cake as protein supplement in place of conventional cakes both in ruminant and non-ruminants on long term basis.
