    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.

    ‘‘EVALUATION OF PROTEIN SOURCES FOR ‘PARTITIONING FACTOR’ AND THEIR ASSOCIATIVE EFFECTS ON FIBRE DIGESTION IN VITRO”
    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR 585 401., 2005-12) MANJUNATH, G. L.; U. KRISHNAMOORTHY; M.M.KAILAS; G.S.BHAT
    In 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.

    EFFECT OF DIFFERING “PARTITIONING FACTOR” OF SUPPLEMENTARY CONCENTRATE ON FEED INTAKE, NITROGEN METABOLISM AND GROWTH PERFORMANCE IN GROWING CROSS BREED DAIRY HEIFERS
    (DEPARTMENT OF LIVESTOCK PRODUCTION AND MANAGEMENT VETERINARY COLLEGE, BANGALORE KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCINCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2005-10) DARSHAN, K A.
    India is bestowed with a largest ruminant population comprising of 222 million cattle, 95 million buffaloes (FAO, 2002), contributing about 36 per cent of the world’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 sour
