ArticleItem Open Access Effect of jaggery on the quality and intake levels of maize silage(2010) Venkataramanan, Ragothaman; Sreekumar, Chirukandoth; Anilkumar, Rishipal; Selvaraj, P, et al.,; TANUVASSilage, which is anaerobically fermented green fodder, is valued throughout the world as a source of animal feed during lean months. Several farms in India use carbohydrate sources like jaggery or molasses at 2% for preparation of silage, and this increases cost of production. The present study was undertaken to assess the effect of jaggery on quality and intake of maize silage, with an objective to find out whether additional carbohydrate source is essential in preparation of silage using green maize. Three silage types, one without jaggery (A), the second with 1% jaggery (B), and the third with 2% jaggery (C) were prepared in cylindrical bins under similar conditions. They were compared for colour, pH, lactic acid bacteria count, lactic acid content, proximate composition and silage intake by sheep. Silage type C with 2% jaggery was significantly different from the other two types with values of 3.98 and 805.66 g for pH and mean silage intake, respectively. Even though the values of pH and dry matter intake for all three silage types were within normal levels, silage type C was significantly superior in terms of fermentation and palatability. The method of preparation followed could be ideal for small holder farmers requiring less quantity of silage.ProceedingsItem Open Access Effect of Feeding Maku Lotus, A Temperature Perennial Legume, on intake and Digestibility of Nutrients in Sandynoweaner Lambs(2016-02) Sakthivel, PC; Iyue, M; Prema, N, et al.; TANUVASA digestion trial was conducted for five days of asses intake and digestibility of nutrients in Samdynoweaner lambs by replacing concentrate mixture with make lotus on protein basis.ProceedingsItem Open Access Effect of nitrate and nitrate reducing bacteria on methane production in growing Murrah buffaloes(2013-06) Sakthivel, PC; Kamra, DN; Agarwal, N, et al.; TANUVASPresently, India possesses 57% of world’s buffalo and 16% of cattle population. Contribution of methane emission by Indian buffaloes is 42% (Chhabra et al., 2009). The addition of altemate electron acceptors to the rumen seems to be a logical mean of reducing methane emission, So the aim of the present study was to assess the effect of nitrate on methane production in growing Murrah buffaloes.ProceedingsItem Open Access Association of Meat Scientists and Technologists and National Seminar on “FOOD: SAFETY, HEALTH AND ENVIRONMENT”(2016-02) Robinson, J.J.
