ThesisItem Open Access 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.Bhakt1.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.ThesisItem Open Access 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. Srivastava1.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.ThesisItem Open Access Protection of Protein and Utilization of Formal dehyde Tread growund nut cake in growing Cross-Bred Calves(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1994) Kiran Shankar Dutta; J.P. Srivastava1.Formaldehyde (FA) 1.0 and 1.5 g/100 g feed protein, stored for 29 days can effectively be used to protect the proteins of common oil cakee such as Groundnut, Mustard and Linseed cakes, from microbial degradation in the rumen, 2. In vitro studies with formaldehyde treated Groundnut, Mustard and Linseed cakes further suggest that the reaction periods of 16 days and 4 to 8 days, respectively, were ideal for treatments levels of 1.0 and 1.5 E FA/100 E food protein because at these combinations of level and treatment, the fermentative and cellulolytic activities were not affected no revealed from the protection of Total Volatile Fatty acids. 3. Dry heat treatment in Hot Air Oven at 150°C for 2 hours and 10 minutes roasting are appreciably effective in protecting the proteins of oil cakes, such so, Groundnut, Mustard and Linseed cakes from microbial degradation in the rumon Emphasis should be given upon 10 minutes roasting or roasting for somewhat longer duration as it does not affect the nutrient content, in general, of oil cakes unlike the heatThesisItem Open Access 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.SinhaThe 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.ThesisItem Open Access Aflatoxins in Animal feed, their influence on Nutrient Utilization, Growth Performance, Histopathologiacal Alteration in Certain tissues in Growing Piglets and measures for their Alleviation(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1992) Ajit Kumar Sinha; Dr. J.P. SrivastavaThe livestock owners of tribal villages may be advised to maintain the animal feed store properly. They should be especially careful in preventing the food stuff from moisture, which leads to the growth of various fungi. The contaminated feed ingredient/compounded feeds upto a level of 0.25 ppm preferably be treated with 1.5 per cent ammonia. However, if it is not possible due to various reasons, 25 per cent extra protein allowance (other than the recommended level of 16 per cent) say be provided to their growing pige.ThesisItem Open Access Re- Starter Diets for Early Weaning in Piglets its influence on Subsequent Baby Pig Performance and Reproductive Efficiency of Sow(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1992) Ram Naryan Singh; Dr. J.P SrivastavaThe present studies indicate that piglets can be weaned at an early age in order to narrow down the farrowing interval, reducing piglet mortality and lowering down the over all economics of production in swine operations. On the basis of the results obtained in the present studies, it is concluded that piglets should be weaned at 5 to 6 weeks of age and reared on weaner diet having concentrations of 20 % protein and 3500 Kosl DE/kg diet fortified with adequate amount of minerals and vitamins supplementation, without having any adverse effect either on their health or any of the other parameters studied. Cost per unit gain in piglets can be cut down further by repla cing 50% skimmed milk of the weaner diet with fish meal with out affecting their performance. RECOMMENDASION In order to narrow down the farrowing interval it is recommended that piglets should be weaned at 5 to 6 weeks of age and reared on weaner diet (pre-starter diet) having 20.02 % CP and 3522 Kcal DE/kg so as to have maximum profits.ThesisItem Open Access Influence of Urea Treatment on the Nutritive Value of Sal( shorea robusta) Seed Meal and Sal Leaves as A feed Ingredient for Livestock(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1992) Rabindra Bhakt; B.S.GuptaOne-third of tannins and one third of oxalates of fallen sal leaves were removed by 4.0% urea treatment when stored for 3 weeks at 50.0% moisture level, besides more than two times increase in its CP content. 2. Maximum of 32.91, 37.08 and 52.27% tannins of deoiled salsced meal (DSSM) was reduced by 5.0% Formaldehyde treatment when stored for 3 weeks, 4.0 urea treatment stored for 3 weeks and 3.0% Ferrous sulphate treatment stored for 4 weeks respectively, at 50.0% moisture level, whereas, 67.28% tannins of DSSM was reduced by 1.0% Ferric chloride treatment when stored for 2 weeks at 20.0% moisture level. It is an important significant achievement and can be adopted by compounded livestock and poultry feed manufacturers of the country. 3. Urea treated deoiled salseed meal can be incorporated safely in the concentrate ration of growing calves upto 20.0% level without any economical loss. Thus, valuable conventional feeds can be saved for human consumption. 4 Urea treated deofled salseed meal can be incorporated upto 15.0% in rations of growing piglets without any harmful effect. The inclusion of UDSSM upto 5.0 % level is profitable, whereas, inclusion at 10.0 and 15.0% levels are not economical but valuable conventional feed ingredients can be saved.ThesisItem Open Access Utilization of Kokum( Schleicher oleos ) Cake as a Feed Replacer in Swine Rations(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1992) Naresh Prasad; Dr. B.S. GuptaThe present studies indicate that forest waste, unconventional kosus cake, both solvent extracted and expeller pressed are non-toxic and safe to feed to various categories of pigs. It con most successfully and economically be used in pig feeding systems upto 15 % level in growing pig rations and upto 20% level in gestating and lactating cows without any adverse effect either on their health or on carcass characteristics of growing pigs or on the breeding performances of sows.ThesisItem Open Access A Comparative Study of Immunopathology and Pathophysiology of Synthetic Pyrethroid, Organophosphate and Chlorinated Hydrocarbon Pesticide toxicity in Broiler Chicks(Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1992) Umesh Kumar Garg; G.J. JhaOne hundred twenty day-old broiler chicks were used in the present study. They were divided into four equal groups viz control (₁), fenvalerate (T₂), mono crotophos (T) and endosulfan (T). The birds of control group (7₁) were fed with poultry mash without any pesticide for 8 weeks whereas the chicks of T2 group was fed with poultry mash containing fenvelerate 20 ppm/kg of the sash, T3 group was fed with mash containing 2 ppm monocrotophos and T group was fed with ration contaminated with 2 ppm endosulfan per kg of the feed for 8 weeks. The signs of the pesticide toxicity appeared after a fortnight of the experiment. Dullness, depression, anorexia, roughness of body coat, excess salivation in few chicks, drooping of head, convulsions and paralysis were the main clinical signs of the toxicity. lo difference in body weight could be recorded at any stage of the experiment. The mortality pattern (7-10%) in monocrotophos and endosulfan fed chicks was almost similar but it was higher (i.e. 20%) in fenva lerate fed chicks. This could be due to difference in the dose rate of the pesticide used for intoxication. Serum calcium, inorganic phosphorus and blood urea nitrogen did not show any significant change due to any of the three pesticides used for the toxicity in any of the three pesticides used for the toxicity in broiler chicks.
