    PERFORMANCE OF STALL-FED GOAT KIDS WITH CONCENTRATE MIXTURES COMPRISED OF DETOXIFIED HONGE SEED IPONG/lll/IU GUBRB VENT] MEAL
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) SONAL THAKUR
    Efficient animal production in many parts of the world is limited due to chronic shortage of protein-rich and energy-rich feed resources. Seasonal variation in availability of feed resources has further worsened the situation especially in tropical countries like India

    Nutritional evaluation of detoxified honge {Pongamia glabrav&gA seed meal in broiler rabbits
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) GIRIDHAR, K.S.
    The higher production cost forces the livestock farmers to exploit the use of any unconventional feedstuff as a component of livestock feed and make animal production more economical. Incorporation of various unconventional feeds as livestock feed requires thorough knowledge of their maximum level of inclusion, duration of feeding and type of toxic principles present, including their effect on animal performance and mode of detoxification

    Influence of Lysine Producing Probiotics (LPP) vis-a-vis type of protein source on performance of broilers
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) JAISHANKAR, N
    Over the last few decades, broiler production in tropical and subtropical countries has been rapidly increasing due to ever increasing demand for poultry products. From 1995 to 1999, chicken meat production in Africa, Asia and South America grew by 13.85, 17.73 and 23.65%, respectively (Watt, 2001). Despite many challenges faced by broiler industries in these developing nations, including economic crisis, currency devaluation and reliance on imported raw materials, it is predicted that broiler production in these areas will continue to sustain strong growth in the future as well. As a result, the feeding and health management of birds assume significance.

    EVALUATION OF MAJOR PULSE BYPRODUCTS OF NORTH KARNATAKA BY IN VITRO AND IN VIVO METHODS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) S. G. BIRADAR
    Major pulses grown in north eastern transition and north eastern dry zone, the two agro-climatic zones of North Karnataka are bengal gram (Cicer arietinum), black gram {Vigna mungo), green gram (Vigna radiata) and red gram (Cajanus cajan) . The byproducts, mainly the straws and chunnies of these pulses are not efficiently used for livestock feeding, particularly for small ruminants. Chunnies of all these pulses and only the straw of red gram are being regularly used for large ruminants feeding. The straws of rest of the pulses are often burnt or ploughed back into the soil.

    EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTATION OF LYSINE PRODUCING MICROBES VIS-A-VIS TYPE AND LEVEL OF DIETARY PROTEIN, ON PERFORMANCE OF POST PEAK LAYERS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) MANJU, G. U
    Poultry farming in India was a backyard practice till 1970 and now it has made rapid strides and transformed itself to become increasingly specialized and integrated agribusiness to meet the increasing demand for human food production and contributing its part to National GDP. At present, India stands 4^^ among the worldâ s egg producing countries, with an increase from meager 1800 million eggs during 1960 to 40,000 million in 2004 (FAO 2004). Such a commendable achievement was possible largely due to concerted efforts of several poultry entrepreneurs, including geneticists and nutritionists. Chicken is one of the best , feed converting livestock among the food animals and also low space requirement involved in their production have significantly contributed towards the phenomenal growth of the poultry sector. But stiU there is a wide gap between recommendation (180 per annum ICMR) and the present per capita consumption level of eggs (48 eggs per annum) with an eventual provision of tremendous scope for growth of poultry industry especially that of layers

    EFFECT OF JOJOBA (Simmondsia chinensis) MEAL ON THE PERFORMANCE OF THE BROILER RABBITS
    (Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) KIRAN L.
    Jojoba Simmondsia chinensis is an evergreen native oil seed shrub of India it is grown in some parts of Kutch in Gujarat, Jodhpur and Jaipur in Rajasthan. the Sonora deserts of Arizona, California in the United States and Mexieo . In Jojoba oil meal, a high protein residue, which remains after oil extraction is a potential unconventional protein feed supplement. But, the toxic and anti-nutritional substances make the meal unsuitable for livestock feeding. Boiled Jojoba meal is bitter for humans and has low acceptability in animal diets. Toxicity of the incriminating factors such as simmondsin, simmondsin-2- ferulate and related cyanomethylene glycosides however has never been fully proved nor understood the physiological mechanisms by which these factors bring about adverse effects. Although short time consumption of Jojoba meal produced detrimental effect in animals, long time feeding had shown gradual adaptation to the meal indicating a scope for its use in animal feeding under some circumstance. Hence, additional research is needed to revalidate the dose response effect in farm animals as well as to suggest appropriate feeding system for diets containing Jojoba meal.

    Effect of Supplementation of L-Threonine on the Performance of Commercial Broilers
    (Karnataka Veterinary, Animal and Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 15-08-14) Thahir Ahamed; Gideon Glori Doss, R.; Prabhu, T.M.; Jaya Naik; Siddramanna
    An experiment was conducted to study the growth performance and the metabolizability of nutrients upon supplementation of L-Threonine in broiler diet. Four hundred day old commercial broiler chicks were assigned randomly into four groups such that each group had one hundred chicks with ten replicates of ten chicks in each replicate. Growth trial for the period of 42 days followed by a metabolic trial during penultimate three days of experiment was conducted. Broiler diet based on corn soybean with CP concentration as per standard specification served as control (T1), while T2, T3 and T4 with CP reduced by 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 units respectively served as experimental rations. The experimental rations were supplemented with L-Threonine at 0.86% (pre starter), 0.80% (starter) and 0.77% (finisher) to maintain the concentration of the limiting amino acid as par with that of control. The study indicated a significant difference in body weight gain (P<0.05), feed intake (P<0.05), FCR (P<0.05) among the treatment groups. The metabolizability of DM, OM, CP, CF and NFE remained non significant whereas, metabolizability of EE was significantly (P<0.05) different among treatment groups. There mortality was nil in all groups irrespective of the dietary regime allotted . Based on the results it indicated that supplementation of L-Threonine in low protein diets had positive effects on birds performance but was limited to the level of protein reduction. From the study, it can be concluded that one can reduce CP content up to 1.0 unit in the commercial broiler diet without compromising the birds performance.
