    Efficiency of utilization of crop residue based complete feed with or without live yeast culture supplementation (S. cerevisiae) on nutrient utilization in sheep
    (DEPARTMENT OF ANIMAL NUTRITION, COLLEGE OF VETERINARY AND ANIMAL SCIENCE, SWAMI KESHWANAND RAJASTHAN AGRICULTURAL UNIVERSITY, BIKANER., 2010) Bushra Andleeb; Dr. T. Sharma
    In an attempt to assess the possibilities of utilization of crop residue viz. mustard (Brassica campestris) and sorghum (Sorghum vulgare) straw in combination with suitable feed technology i.e. complete feed system alone or in combination with live yeast culture (S. cerevisiae) supplementation to achieve maximum efficiency of feed utilization for sustainable animal production, an experiment was conducted in two phases. In first phase, chemical composition was determined for each roughage source under study and six combinations of complete feed formulated using each roughage source at 40, 50 and 60% level of incorporation in complete feed.

    Effect of Feeding Herbs as Feed Additive on Nutrient Utilization Efficiency in Sheep
    (Department of Animal Nutrition College of Veterinary and Animal Science Swami Keshwanand Rajasthan Agricultural University, Bikaner – 334 001 (Rajasthan), 2010) MANJU; Rajesh Kumar Dhuria
    In an attempt to assess the possibilities of utilization of herbs viz. Shatavari (Asparagus racemosus), Brahmi (Bacopa monnieri), Bhringraj (Eclipta alba) and Jiwanti (Leptadenia reticulate) as feed additive to achieve maximum efficiency of feed utilization from wheat straw based complete feed, an experiment was conducted in two phases. In first phase, chemical composition was determined for each herb and feed ingredients used under study and supplemented in the complete feed at 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5% level for in vitro studies. The IVDMD, IVOMD and in vitro total gas production were determined for complete feed using rumen liquor obtained from sheep to arrive at optimum level of incorporation of herbs in complete feed. In second phase, feeding trial was undertaken on 20 rams fed complete feed with optimum level of each herb selected on the basis of results of in vitro studies, to assess the in vivo efficiency of utilization of nutrients. Rumen and haemato-biochemical parameters were also studied to ascertain the effect of supplementation of herbs as feed additive on rumen fermentation pattern and physiological status of health of experimental animals.

    Studies on Nutritional Evaluation and Optimum Utilization of Methi (Trigonella foenumgraecum) Straw in Complete Feed of Sheep
    (Department of Animal Nutrition College of Veterinary and Animal Science Rajasthan Agricultural University Bikaner – 334 001, 2008) Ramesh Kumar Saini; Tribhuwan Sharma
    In an attempt to assess the possibilities of utilization of leguminous methi (Trigonella foenumgraecum) straw available locally in abundance, an experiment was conducted in two phases. In first phase, chemical composition was determined for methi straw and a feeding trial of four weeks followed by metabolism trial of 7 days were conducted using 6 male magra sheep of same age group and uniform conformation. The dry matter intake, digestibility of dry matter, gross nutrients and fibre fractions, balances of nitrogen and minerals, digestible nutrient contents and their intake, body weight gain and feed efficiency were studied for methi straw.
