    To study the effect of different level of azolla meal on nutrient utilization and growth performance in goat kids
    (Department of Animal Nutrition, BVC, BAU, Sabour, 2015) Kumari, Jyoti; Kumar, Sanjay
    Animal production is one of the important components of Indian agriculture and contributes significantly to the income of farmers. Availability of conventional feed to sustain livestock feeding is a major constraint in developing countries. Hence, pressure on utilization of alternative feed resources has been increasing to develop least cost rations. However, literature is available on the nutritional potential of azolla and their metabolites in ruminants . An attempt is made to assess nutritional potential of Azoll in a total mixed ration (TMR) at different dietary level on nutrient utilization and metabolic status of goats under hot humid agro climatic condition in Bihar. This study will give more information about the effective utilization alternative feed resources, which will help in developing feeding strategies for better utilization of nutrient from protein rich feeds by goats under Bihar condition. All the standard manage mental practices were followed during experimental period. Eighteen growing male kids of 3-4 months age with average body weight of 5.72± 0.88 kg were distributed into three groups of six animals each on the basis of body weight in a randomized block design. The animals were fed graded level of Azolla meal (0, 20 and 40 %) mixed in concentrate mixture and green fodder berseem. In this study different parameter like feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, digestibility of nutrient, blood bio-chemicals, serum biochemistry of Black Bengal goats (cross) were observed, respectively. This experiment was conducted for 90 days on 18 male kids.
