    EFFECT OF DIFFERENT CONCENTRATES MIXTURE ON GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF HEIFER.
    (Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-07-16) DAHIWALE, PRIYANKA AHINSAK; Shelke, Dr. R. R.
    The study entitled “Effect of Different Concentrates Mixture on Growth Performance of Heifer” was conducted for period of 90 day. Fifteen Heifers were divided into three groups on the nearness of the age and body weight. Three feeding treatment were studies namely T1 Dry fodder (Soybean straw) with green fodder (Hybrid Napier) + Readymade concentrate (Sugras) mixture-I as per requirement, T2 Dry fodder (Soybean straw) with green fodder (Hybrid Napier) and concentrate mixture-II as per requirement and T3 Dry fodder (Soybean straw) with green fodder (Hybrid Napier) + concentrate mixture-III as per requirement of heifer in all treatments. The soybean straw, Hybrid Napier and readymade concentrate mixture-I, concentrate Mixture-II, concentrate mixture-III were containing on an average 90.51, 24.16, 90.80, 90.96, 90.12 per cent DM, respectively. The CP content (6.81, 7.50, 17.63, 19.28, 17.94) per cent respectively. The CF content (38.32, 35.76, 11.68, 10.64, 12.24) per cent respectively. The EE content (1.65, 2.40, 2.72, 4.05, 3.98) per cent respectively. The NFE content (41.36, 44.18, 64.08, 60.19, 60.49) per cent respectively. The total ash content (11.86, 10.16, 3.89, 5.84, 5.35) per cent respectively. On an average the heifer consumed 6.57, 6.90 and 6.66 kg of feed per day under T1, T2 and T3. Daily DMI differed significantly between the treatments. The heifers from T2 groups need more DM than that of T3, and T1 groups. The average daily intake was 2.64, 2.63 and 2.62 kg/day/heifers in T1, T2 and T3 groups respectively. Higher intake of DM per 100 kg body weight was noticed in treatment T2 and lowest in T1 and T3. The daily water intake of the heifer was differ significant among the feeding group, the heifer from T2 group drunk more (9.4) than that T1 (6.8), and T3 (7.8). This trend indicated that the water in treatment T1, T2, T3, were differ significantly, indicating, that level of concentrates mixture had effect on the water consumption of heifer. The feeding trial was conducted during after months of winter therefore the water intake seems to be lower. When the water intake was converted to unit body size. The average water intake per 100 kg body weight was 11.8, 14.2 and 12.8 litre per heifer per day in T1, T2 and T3 respectively. As a result of this solution dry matter to water intake ratio was more or less similar in all the groups and it was 1:2.9, 1:3.5 and 1:2.5 under T1, T2 and T3 groups respectively. All the heifers exhibited satisfactory growth rate 294 to 331 (g) per day and differences were significant. The per kg of body weight gain was higher in T2 treatment. Body measurement (chest girth, body length and body height) of the heifer under treatment T2 proved statistically significant effect. Further It was also observed that, the treatment T2 showed better result as compared to T1 and T3 treatment. The cost of feeding per kg body weight gain has found decreasing trend from T2 and T3. Total cost / kg BW gain / heifer is less in T2 groups of treatments.
