A.The present investigation entitled “Effect of Feeding Azolla (Azolla pinnata) meal on Performance of Vanraja Poultry Birds” was carried out to assess the effect of feeding Azolla meal on body weight, feed consumption, feed conversion efficiency (FCR), dressing percentage and economics of vanraja poultry birds production. One hundred fifty chicks of day old straight run commercial Vanraja birds were procured Matoshri Distributors, Amravati Hatchery. They were randomly and equally distributed into five treatment groups T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 with 30 numbers of chicks in each group. Azolla (Azolla pinnata) meal was added in experimental ration at different levels. The dietary treatments consisted of one basal control (T1), supplemented with 3% Azolla meal (T2), 6% Azolla meal (T3), 9% Azolla meal (T4), and 12% Azolla meal (T5).The corresponding average live body weights at the end of seven weeks of age were 991.30, 1036.04, 1128.59, 1079.22 and1042.40 g in T1 to T5 treatment groups, respectively. The average weekly body weight gain in gram at seventh week of age was T1 (227.05), T2 (225.93), T3 (264.99), T4 (247.62) and T5 (215.39). In T1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 treatments groups, respectively. The average weekly cumulative body weight gain at seventh week of age were recorded as in gram 958.1, 1003.39, 1095.14, 1047.28 and1009.45forT1, T2, T3, T4, and T5 treatments groups, respectively. The average total weekly feed consumption gram/bird during the experimental period at the end of seventh week was recorded as 629.7, 600.02, 670.00, 584.83 and 614.25 g. For T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 treatments groups, respectively. The cumulative feed consumption at seventh week of age was 2612.8, 2653.04, 2723.1, 2440.5 and 2653.8 g, respectively in T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 treatments groups. The average weekly feed efficiency at seventh week age were 2.77, 2.66, 2.53, 2.36 and 2.85 in T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 treatments groups, respectively. The cumulative feed efficiency of various groups at seventh week from T1 to T5 were 2.73, 2.64, 2.49, 2.33 and 2.63, respectively. The average weekly water consumption at 7th week of age for treatment T1, T2, T3, T4 and T5 was recorded as 2269.74, 2271.5, 2273.25, 2272.06 and 2273.11 ml, respectively. The overall mortality in Vanraja poultry birds of various groups during the experimental period was not found. The average dressing percentage among the different treatment group varied between 69.07 to 64.11 per cent. Numerically higher dressing percentage was recorded in treatment T3 (69.07). The net profit per bird was highest in T3 (Rs. 56.06) followed by T4 (Rs. 54.17), T2 (Rs. 42.13), T5 (Rs. 40.90) and lower in T1 (Rs. 35.96).ThesisItem Open Access MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE OF KATHANI CATTLE IN GOREGAON TAHSIL OF GONDIA DISTRICT.(Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-08-18) CHAVHAN, TIKENDRAKUMAR MOHANLAL.; Zinjarde, Dr. R. M.The population of female was higher in all age groups. The Kathani cattle were of small size, light built and having compact body. Body coat colour were mostly white colour and muzzle, hoof, eyelid and tail switch were mostly black and horn colour was grey. The horns were medium and curved like shape and orientation of horn was outward and upward. The ears have horizontal orientation. The forehead was medium with straight profile. The body characteristics such as hump as well as dewlap were medium in size and navel flap was small in size. The udder was mostly in bowl shape, teat shape was mostly cylindrical shape and milk vein was small in size. The average body weight in Kathani cattle for different age group were found to be 43.26±1.03 (up to 1 year), 71.10±10.85 (1 to 2 year), 112.97±3.04 (2 to 3 year) and 215.96±2.92 (above 3 year) kg, respectively. In biometric measurement average length of neck was 41.90±0.35 cm, chest girth was 142.86±1.24 cm, body length was 113.10±0.60 cm, length of tail was 76.00±1.80 cm and height at wither was 115.04±0.72 cm.The lactational performance of average lactational milk yield was obtained to be 520.61±21.59 kg, with average lactation period as 153.21±1.81 days and lactational milk yield per day was 2.95±0.17 kg. respectively.ThesisItem Open Access FEEDING VALUE OF HYDROPONIC GREEN FODDER UNDER CONTROLLED AND FIELD CONDITION ON HEIFER(Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-07-16) PATIL, SWAPNAJIT JAYWANT.; Chavan, Dr. S. D.The study entitled “Feeding value of hydroponic green fodder under controlled and field condition on heifers.” was conducted for period of 90 days. Twenty crossbred heifers were divided into five groups on the nearness of age and weight. Five feeding treatment were studied namely T1 {Dry roughages ad lib + green roughages + concentrate}, T2 {Dry roughages ad lib + Green roughages (30% green maize of field condition + 70% Green fodder) + Concentrate.}, T3 {Dry roughages (ad lib) + Green roughages (30% Hydroponic green maize of controlled condition + 70% Green fodder+ Concentrate.}, T4 {Dry roughages (ad lib ) + Green roughages (40% green maize of field condition + 60% Green fodder) + Concentrate.} and T5 { Dry roughages (ad lib ) + Green roughages (40% Hydroponic green maize of controlled condition + 60% Green fodder) + Concentrate.} to fulfil feed requirement of heifers in all treatments. It was observed that hydroponic green maize were containing 11.10, 14.10, 4.07, 72.86, 7.17 and 1.80 per cent, DM, CP, EE, NFE, CF and Total ash respectively. Daily DM intake differed significantly between the treatments. The heifers from T1 groups consumed less DM than that of T2, T3 , T4 and T5 groups. The average daily intake were 4.85, 4.93, 5.15, 5.08 and 5.36 kg/day/heifer in T1, T2,T3,T4 and T5 groups respectively. This trend thus indicated that there was reduce in the daily DM intake when hydroponic green maize was incorporated as feed in the rations of heifers. It was observed from over all experimental results, that the treatment T5 showed better and desirable result as compared with T1, T2, and T4 treatments. Though the treatment T5 recorded better and desirable result but was at a par with T3 Therefore feeding cost was desirable. Growth rate was higher in feeding in heifers fed on hydroponic green maize than control group (i.e. without hydroponic green maize).ThesisItem Open Access 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.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF SUPPLEMENTING MULTI-STRAIN YEAST CULTURE ON THE GROWTH PERFORMANCE OF HEIFERS.(Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra., 2018-07-16) MARASKOLHE, MANGESH VITTHAL; Bidwe, Dr. K. U.The study entitled “Effect of Supplementing Multi-strain Yeast Culture on The Growth Performance of Heifers” was conducted at LIF, Dr. PDKV, Akola, for period of 90 days. Twenty Heifers were selected on the basis of nearness to age and body weight. They were randomly allotted to four treatments via T1 - (control) Green Fodder + Dry Fodder + Concentrate mixture + without yeast culture, T2 - Green Fodder + Dry Fodder + Concentrate mixture + 5 gm yeast culture, T3 - Green Fodder + Dry Fodder + Concentrate mixture + 10 gm yeast culture and T4 - Green Fodder + Dry Fodder + Concentrate mixture + 15 gm yeast culture. The multi strain yeast culture used were containing four strain yeast culture containing four strain namely Lactobacillus acidofellus, Saccharomycescerevisiae, Saccharomyces boulardii and Profionibacteriumfrendenreichiiof bacteria and fungi respectively. Multi-strain yeast culture was supplied by Wokhardt co. Mumbai namely Biovet-YC Gold was fed as per treatment to the heifers. Observation on feed intake, dry matter intake and growth parameters likes weight gain, body measurement i.e. length, height, chest girth were recorded and statistically analyzed by adopting randomized block design. It was found that feed intake, dry matter intake and water intake was influenced due to feeding of yeast culture and increasing trend was recorded accordingly to the rate of the addition of yeast culture to the heifers. The heifers fed under treatment T4 amongst all treatments showed average daily weight gain (0.451 kg per day), body length (0.113 cm/day), chest girth (0.148 cm/day) and body height (0.132 cm/day) during the period of investigation. Hence T4 was found superior of all other treatments. The maximum growth rate per kg weight gain of heifers obtained on feeding of multi-strain yeast culture at lower cost.ThesisItem Open Access EFFECT OF FEEDING CUMIN POWDER ON PERFORMANCE OF VANARAJA POULTRY BIRDS.(Dr. Panjabrao Deshmukh Krishi Vidyapeeth, Akola, Maharashtra, 2018-06-11) AHMAD, SHAFIQ S/O GHULLAM SEDIQ.; Bidwe, Dr. K.
