ThesisItem Open Access EVALUATION OF PROTEIN SOURCES FOR â PARTITIONING FACTORâ AND THEIR ASSOCIATIVE EFFECTS ON FIBRE DIGESTION IN VITRO(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) MANJUNATH, G. LIn crop residue based ruminant production systems, optimizing crop residue utilization continues to be the thrust area of research and development. The poor nutritional quality of the residues of cereal and millet crops is the major constraint in exploiting genetic potential of ruminant livestock in India. The poor nutritional qualities of crop residues are conventionally viewed as due to nutrient deficiencies and or the presence of refractory and inhibitory substances such as lignin, silica, cutin, polyphenols and tannins that may bind with other nutrients or may act as toxic substances to rumen microbes. Although considerable information on these aspects have been accumulated over the past years, quantification of their impact on microbial biomass synthesis and ruminal digestion of fibre continues to be the problem.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF DIFFERING â PARTITIONING FACTORâ ? OF SUPPLEMENTARY CONCENTRATE ON FEED INTAKE, NITROGEN METABOLISM AND GROWTH PERFORMANCE IN GROWING CROSS BREED DAIRY HEIFERS(Karnataka Veterinary Animal And Fisheries Sciences University, Bidar, 2005) DARSHAN, K AIndia is bestowed with a largest ruminant population comprising of 222 million cattle, 95 million buffaloes (FAO, 2002), contributing about 36 per cent of the worldâ s ruminant population, with only two per cent of the world geographical area. In India 80 per cent of large ruminants are maintained by small farmers and economically weaker section of the society. Due to low purchasing capacity they face difficulties in feeding their livestock. Hence, crop residue and other byproducts are used as principal source of feed for large ruminants.
