    Studies on Utilization of the Mixture of Rice (Oryza sativa) And Marua (Eleusine Coracana) (80 20) Fermented Waste in Pig Grower Ration
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1998) Roseline Pushpa Tirkey; R.Bhakt
    1.Differences in average body weight, daily weight gain, and various body measurements (height, length and girth) of the piglets fed 0, 10, 20 and 30 % rice and maruafermented waste (80: 20) replacing 0, 33.33, 66.66 and 100 % wheat bran in their concentrate diet was found to be non-significant. 2. There was non-significant difference in feed efficiencies of piglets of various groups fed diets containing 0, 10, 20 and 30 % rice and marua fermented waste. 3. The cost involved on one kg gain in weight was significantly lower in piglets reared on diet containing 30 % rice and marua fermented waste than in piglets reared without rice and marua fermented waste but did not differ significantly to diet containing 10 or 20 % fermented wastes. Thus, wheat bran may be replaced up to 100% in the diet of growing piglets economically and without any harmful effect.

    Studies on the Effect of Different Dietary Composition of Pre - Starter Diets on Performances of Early Weaned Pigs
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1997) Asem Ameeta Devi; Dr. J.P. Srivastava
    1.In general, type of feed and age of weaning had no significant effect on various economic traits. 2.Weight gain in piglets weaned at 8th weeks of age was significantly higher than those weaned at 5th weeks, but differences after 8th weeks of age were no significant. 3.The piglets reared on T₂ diet (100% skimmed milk powder replaced by fish meal) had slightly higher weight gain than those maintained on T, diet (with 4% skimmed milk powder). 4. The cost involved on one kg weight was significantly lower in piglets reared on diet T₂ than T 5. The farrowing interval of sows who weaned their piglets at 5th weeks had significantly lower value than those weaned at 8th weeks. 6.Diets and age of weaning had no significant influence on nutrient digestibility and feed conversion efficiency.

    Effects of Feeding Marua (Eleusine Coracana) As An Energy Source In Large White Yorkshire Pig Ration
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1993) Uttam Kumar Hati; A.P.Sinha
    The present studies indicate that maruhs feeding exhibited better nutrient utilization, growth, feed-officiency ration, positive retention of N, Ca and P with lowest cost per kg live weight as well as per kg mest production without having any abnormality in the animal. Thus it can be concluded that maruha can be economically used as an energy source to a maxi mum of 60 % level of swine rations by replacement of 100 % maize (v/v) in practical standard rations for growing pige without exhibiting any adverse effect.

    Effect of Feeding Unconventional Cakes Mixture Supplemented With Lysine And Methionine On The Growth Performance In Broilers
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1989) Tappo, Saroj; A.K. Verma
    From the results summarized above it appeared that addition of the cake mixture of deoiled koranj cake and expeller pressed kosum cake at a definite proportion supplemented with lysine and methionine had depressing effect on growth performance, feed consumption, feed efficiency and dressing yield. In addition, it has definite histopathological effect on liver and kidney with the linear increase of the cake mixture in the treatment diets. The factors responsible for the depressing effects appear to be: (1) Due to unpalatability of the experimental diets containing increasing levels of cake mixture. 2.Due to increased level of crude fibre and oil content in the treatment diets, the higher level of crude fibre might have increased the rate of passage of digesta and may also interfere the nutrient balance during initial stage, whereas the oil content contain toxic agent(s) which might also be the cause of lower digestibility. 3.An imbalance of some of the essential amino acids and energy in the diet consequent upon the inclusion of deolled cakes and mathionine, lysine supplementation which by their comparative imbalance, are known to cause depressed growth performance in chicks. 4.It may be due to the probable presence of some unidentified anti-nutritional/toxic factor(s) in the cake mixture which were not assessed. As such, the observations made on the growth performance, dressing characters and the histopathological findings indicated that the cakes did not form a promising combination supplemented with methionine and lysine for its favorable inclusion in poultry diet. However, further detailed studies are warranted.

    Growth Performance In Broiler Chicks AS Influenced By Feeding Unconventional Cakes Mixture
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1989) Haque, Nazrul; J.P. Srivastava
    Based on the observations made under these investigations, it could be concluded that the cakes' pixture under present study containing expeller pressed kosum cake 50.00 per cent, deoiled karanj cake 21.00 per cent, deciled niger cake 21.50 per cent, deoiled sal seed meal 5.00 per cent might be used to a maximum limit of 20 per cent level of replacement (w/w) of practical standard diets for broilers.

    Influence Of Feeding Of A Combination of Unconventional Cakes And Dried Poultry Manure On The Performances of Growing Calves
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1989) Baidhya Nath Paul; B.S. Gupta
    The present studies indicated that new unconventional feed ingredients mixture is non-toxic and safe to feed to livestock. It could be used most successfully and economically in ruminant feeding system upto 30 per cent replacement of *Sudhadan'.

    EFFECT OF FEEDING UREA TREATED PADDY STRAW ON PERFORMANCE OF LACTATING COWS
    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1986) DATTA, KIRAN SHANKER; GUPTA, B.S.
    1.4% urea treatment of paddy straw at 50% moisture level stored for 4 weeks has significantly better effect on increasing its protein content and lowering the fiber content, which in turn increase the dry matter and protein degradability’s in rumen. It also lovers the oxalate content of paddy straw significantly which probably helps in better absorption of calcium and its retention. (2) The above processed straw also brings about improvement in digestibility of nutrients, retention of nitrogen, production of milk and its constituents. It also lowers the cost of production per liter of milk without any adverse effect on the health of the animals. (3) Concluding. it can be mentioned that 4% urea treated paddy straw at 50% moisture level when stored for 4 weeks has a powerful effect on the overall improvement of its nutritive value as well as economical productive performance of the animals.

    EFFECT OF UREA TREATMENT ON TANNIN CONTENT AND ITS INFLUENCE ON DIGESTIBILITY OF SAL SEED MEAL
    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1984) MAHESHWARI, Pavan kumar; GUPTA, B.S.
    1. Long term feeding trials should be conducted with UDSEN in growing, pregnant and lactating animals in order to see its performance on growth, pregnancy and lactation. 2. There is a need to develop an efficient and economical processing which could bring about higher removal of tannin with minimum loss of dry matter. 3. Long term feeding trials with larger quantity of incorporation of DSS after processing with suitable combinations of chemicals might be tried.

    EFFECT OF FEEDING DEOILED KARANG CAKE IN LACTATING CATTLE
    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1983) DATTA, Kamal Kanti; GUPTA, B.S.
    Suggestion for future research work i. More studies should be done in lactating cattle with this karanj cake. There is possibility to produce an economical ration with this unconventional cake if it is introduced in the ration at higher level as a protein supplement. ii. Long term trials are also necessary to study if there in any side effect of karanj cake in lactating cattle. 111. Further works can be carried out to study the effect of karanj cake as protein supplement in place of conventional cakes both in ruminant and non-ruminants on long term basis.
