    A STUDY ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF GOATS UNDER DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF REARING
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2018-11) MAHADEV LAMANI; Dr. S. B. PRASANNA
    The growth performance of goats under different systems of rearing was studied for 13 weeks on thirty weaned local kids of 3-4 months of age and comparable body weights. Kids were randomly distributed into three groups with 10 animals in each group. Animals of T1 (Intensive system) group were fed with concentrate mixture and weighed quantity of ground nut hay, sesbania and ragi straw (ad lib). The animals in T2 (Semi intensive system) group were allowed for grazing for 6hours and in the evening provided with concentrate and roughages at the level of 50% of the requirements of T1 group. The animals in T3 (Ex

    A STUDY ON THE MANAGEMENT PRACTICES DURING TRANSITION PERIOD IN CROSSBRED DAIRY COWS
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR–585401, 2018-07) VENU, R.; Dr. Y. B. RAJESHWARI)
    The objective of this study was to document the existing management practices in crossbred dairy cows during transition period and to assess the effect of nutritional intervention in Transition cows. The existing management practices were recorded by means of personal interview using a structured schedule, with respondents selected using a multistage stratified sampling procedure. Most farmers rearing crossbred dairy cows reared high yielding crossbreds, unrecognised buffalo breeds, sheep, goat or poultry; thus revealing the suitability of crossbred dairy cows to their production system. The most common management practices were loose housing, artificial insemination, stall feeding, good care and feeding practices for calves, good health care practices and adequate milking techniques. Transition cow management was also better with respect to feeding. The results of a feeding mineral mixture for three weeks during transition period revealed that feeding mineral mixture can avoid post parturient complications. Efforts must be made to educate farmers regarding improved management practices like construction of proper feed mangers, scientific waste management and better management of crossbred cows during transition period.

    A STUDY ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF GOATS UNDER DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF REARING
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR-585 401, 2018-11) MAHADEV LAMANI; Dr. S. B. PRASANNA
    The growth performance of goats under different systems of rearing was studied for 13 weeks on thirty weaned local kids of 3-4 months of age and comparable body weights. Kids were randomly distributed into three groups with 10 animals in each group. Animals of T1 (Intensive system) group were fed with concentrate mixture and weighed quantity of ground nut hay, sesbania and ragi straw (ad lib). The animals in T2 (Semi intensive system) group were allowed for grazing for 6hours and in the evening provided with concentrate and roughages at the level of 50% of the requirements of T1 group. The animals in T3 (Extensive System) group were allowed to graze throughout the day without any supplementary feeding. During the experimental period, the body weights were recorded every week. Body measurements were recorded fortnightly. The feacal samples were collected at every four-week interval. The average mean body weight (kg) was found to increase from 11.05±0.18to 18.64±0.32 in T1 group, 11.05±0.23 to 17.19±0.39 in T2 group and11.14±0.18to 15.57±0.24in T3 group. Average Daily Gain (ADG) (g/d) during the study was 83.45±4.95in T1, 67.44±4.95in T2 and 48.65±4.25in T3. The average parasitic load at the end of experimental trial was 1320±35.12, 1985±75.3 and 2235±91.91 eggs per gram in T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Significant effect (P<0.01) of treatment was observed on final body weight, ADG, body measurements and parasitic load between T1 vs T2, T1 vs T3 but no significant difference was observed for parasitic load and body measurements between T2 vs T3. It is concluded that animals under T1- Intensive rearing systems had significantly higher (P<0.01) live weight gains and body measurements compared to other groups during various phase of study.

    A STUDY ON HUSBANDRY PRACTICES UNDER DIFFERENT PRODUCTION SYSTEMS OF SHEEP IN HASSAN DISTRICT
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2018-07) GURUPRASAD, R.; Dr. Y. B. RAJESHWARI
    The present study was carried out with the objective of documenting the existing management practices of sheep in Hassan District, to record the performance of field flocks of sheep, the constraints faced by sheep farmers and to evaluate the strategic anthelmintic intervention using FECRT. A structured schedule was employed to record the managemental practices among the respondents selected across different agroclimatic zones using multistage stratified random sampling procedure. The existing system of rearing was majorly extensive followed by semi-intensive. The sheep housing was open type and kutcha in nature, breeding practices were natural and uncontrolled. Common property resources were the major grazing source, the colostrum feeding of lambs was optimum and the health care practices were adequate except unscientific deworming regimen. Most of the managemental practices were found to be cognitive among the farmers. The ADG recorded between 0-3, 3-6 and 6-9 months was 68.28, 52.34 and 38.29 g/d, respectively indicating better scope for improvement in terms of feeding management. Sheep production in this area faced problems like diminishing grazing lands, high cost of labor, mortality, disease outbreaks, reproductive issues and unorganized marketing which were ranked as per Garrett’s ranking technique. The strategic anthelmintic trial with the most commonly used drugs at the field level indicated development of resistance by the GI parasites, which was common to all the zones irrespective of seasons. It was concluded that sheep production in Hassan is majorly extensive and the performance of field flocks of sheep can be enhanced by scientific feeding and management practices. Importance of rationale deworming using FECRT and proper drugs and dosage selection for profitable sheep farming must be envisaged among the sheep farmers.
