    RATIO OF CONCENTRATE TO ROUGHAGE IN THE RATION OF GROWING MARWARI HOGGETS
    (AAU, Anand, 1988) Choudhury, Dipanka; Dave, A. D.
    Feed efficiency; digestibility and balances (N2-Ca-P); water intake and blood picture of growing Marwari hoggets fed three levels of (T1 50 percent, T2 35 percent and T3 20 percent)AMULDAN in shaffed wheat straw based rations were studied from 5-5-86 to 27-7-86. A vitamin and mineral supplement was fed along with concentrates. The treatments significantly (P∠0.01) affected the mean daily DM intake per 100 kg body weight and consequently the average daily body weight gain (T1 71.72 g, T2 52.87 g and T3 21.59 g); the latter also being affected significantly (P∠0.01) by periods.

    Lactation records 214 of Jersey x Kankrej(F1), Holstein Friesian x Kankrej(F1) and weaned herd of Kankrej cows of Livestock Research Station, Gujarat Agricultural University, Anand were studied for the period from April, 1979 to July, 1985.The age at first calving, service period, lactation yield, 300 days’ yield, lactation period, dry period, daily and weekly peak yields and persistency were significantly (P<0.01)influenced by the breed groups. The JK cows had the shortest (126.56 days) service period followed by Kankrej (177.30 days) and HK (185.23 days) cows while the HK cows had the hishest lactation milk yield (4,261.79 kg) followed by JK(2,699.89 kg) and Kankrej (2,274.17 kg cows.
