    Effect of Supplementation of Antistress agent on the performance of Broilers under different system of management
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2001) Pankaj kumar; C,M Prasad
    The experiment conducted on commercial broilers with different antistress agents have the following conclusions. Supplementation of zeetress as antistress agent was found to be the best over glucose and honey in improving the body weight gain, feed conversion ratio, haematobiochemical profiles, carcass characteristics and survivability of broilers for a period of 6 weeks under cage and deep litter systems. The performance of broilers raised under cage system of management were found to be better than deep litter system with different antistress agents tried in the experiment. The be The beneficial effects of zeetress and honey over glucose and control were possibly due to better adaptogenic and stress alleviating effect. The inclusion of zeetress and honey in the broiler rations were found to be beneficial for commercial broiler production.

    Studies on the performance of Duck- Cum- Fish under integrated system of Farming
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 2001) Rajesh Kumar Sharma; Sushil Prasad
    The following conclusions have been drawn on the basis of results obtained (1) The body weight of both male and female ducks was not influenced by different management systems whereas female's body weight was affected by different managements. The body weight of both male and female ducks was significantly affected under different periods. Decreasing trend of body weight with the advancement of periods was observed in case of both sexes which was regained after successive periods. (2) The percentage hen housed egg production was influenced both by different management as well as periods. Highest egg production was observed in integrated system in comparison to intensive system of management. So far as periods are concerned the highest egg production was observed in the first biweekly period and a decreasing trend with the advancement of periods was recorded. (3) Different management conditions and periods have significant effect on feed efficiency per dozen of eggs and per kg egg mass produced. Significantly superior feed conversion efficiency was observed in integrated system than intensive system of duck raising .A decreasing trend with the increasing period was noticed for both the traits.

    Studies on Stocking Densities and skipping of Feeding in Broiler Production
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1998) Tersa Tirky; Dr.A.K.Shrivastva
    1. The floor space of 0.75 and 1.0 sq.ft. per bird may be recommended for keeping broilers for better return. The broiler birds may be sold after 6 weeks of age for better return in broiler production. 2. The broiler bird may be sold after 6 weeks of age for better return in broiler production. 3. The higher net return in the control group in comparison to that of feed restricted group suggests that the feed restriction in terms of skipping of feeding is not remunerative. However, more studies on larger samples are needed in order to arrive at conclusive findings.

    Plasma and Endometrial Tissue Concentration of Gentamicin Subsequent to Muscular and Uterine Routes of Administration in Cows
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1992) Ram Naresh Sinha; A.K.Sinha
    Microbial isolation revealed that Gran negative organisms were predominantly present in the uteri of repeat breeder cows. In vitro antibiotic sensitivity test of the organism isolated showed that Gentamicin was the most effective anti-biotic. Prostaglandin F₂ could be successfully used for induction of estrus in cattle at the dose of 25 mg by intramuscular route. Biopsy catheter utilized during the present study (Trocar and Canula type) was satisfactory for collection ofendometrial samples from bovines. Upon intramuscular administration of Gentamicin (10 mg/kg body weight) the drug concentration could be detected in plasma upto 360 minutes and peak concentration could be recorded at 60 minutes. Subsequent to intramuscular administration of Gentamicin (10 mg/kg body weight) the drug concentration could not be detected in the endometrial tissue. The drug concentration could be detected in endometrial tissue upto 360 minutes and peak concentration could be recorded at 240 minutes after intrauterine administration of Gentamicin (5 mg/kg body weight). Upon intrauterine administration of Gentamicin (5 mg/kg body weight) the drug could not be detected in plasma.

    Managemental Effect On Some Of The Economic Traits And Carcass Quality in Swine Production Under Rural, Urban And Farm Condition
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1989) Sinha Sunil Kumar; SinghRamadhar
    The present study was carried out on 138 weaned piglets consisting of 78 males and 60 females of Large White Yorkshire at Ranchi Veterinary College, Ranchi-7 as well as at Ranchi town and two villages namely Belangi and Dubolia. The average body weight of the piglets was 9.30 ± 0.12 kg. The duration of the experimental period was from weaning at 8 weeks up to 30 weeks of age. The objectives were to study the performance of the Large White Yorkshire under farm, urban and rural managemental condition and workout economies of production under different systems of management. The piglets were divided into two major groups under intensive and semi intensive system of management. The intensive system comprised of both farm and urban groups. The farm group was further divided into 5 subgroups A-I, A-II, A-III, A-IV and A-V .whereas, urban group was divided into 2 subgroups B-I and B-II. The piglets under semi-intensive which were distributed among farmers in two villages consisted of c-I and C-II groups. The allocation of floor space per pig under farm group was 0.67 m2, 0.48 m2, 0.56 m 2, 0.84 m 2 and 1.12 m 2 for groups A = I,A-II, A-III, A-IV and A-V respectively. The stocking density was 10, 14, 12, 8 and 6 pigs per pen for groups A-I to A-V respectively.

    Application of Modified Enzyme immunoassay Technique for Estimation of Progensterone in Blood and Mild to Monitor Reproductive Activity of Cows and Buffaloes
    (Birsa Agricultural University, Ranchi, 1988) Akhtar Mohammad Hasib; B.K. Singh
    Enzyme Immunoassay of progesterone in sera and milk samples of cattle and buffaloes was carried out during the present investigation. Investigation was done by indirect method of EIA using alkaline phosphatase and horse-radish peroxidase as label. In addition, amplifier system was also used in one of the groups. It was observed that with the use of amplifier the color development was more marked as compared to the use of either of the two enzymes. Secondly, values of progesterone, either in serum or milk were not different from the values when the two enzymes were used as label. Progesterone profile was estimated at regular intervals in sera and milk samples during oestrous cycle of cows, during early pregnancy and during par parturient period in cows and buffaloes. In addition, serum and milk progesterone values were estimated on alternate day during early pregnancy of cows from day 0 of oestrus to day 40. Ten cows were screened to find out the progesterone level in serum and milk during the complete oastrous cycle and it was observed that the duration of the cycle was of 20, 21 and 23 days in 2, 6 and 2 covs, respectively. The progesterone level on the day of oestrus in serun in all the three types of sexual cycles was low and a gradual increase in serum progesterone concentration was observed with peak on D 14, D 16 and D 19 in 20, 21 and 23 day cycles, respectively. Milk progesterone level also showed a similar pattern. In the adjusted oestrous cycle of 21 days the peak average progesterone value in serum

    STUDIES ON SOME MEAT PRODUCTION TRAITS IN CROSSBRED GOATS UNDER DIFFERENT SYSTEMS OF MANAGEMENT
    (Birsa Agricultural University, 1987) BHAT, ABDUL SALAM; Singh, R.A.
    The production cost per unit live weight gain was high in all the systems of rearing especially intensive and semi intensive, considerably high cost of all the inputs feed end fodder which excluding labour, constituted 75 per cent of the total contributed much to the increase in the production cost. The lower dressing percentage which varies from breed to breed had its influence on the carcass yield. The kids grazed entirely on pasture simulated a situation prevalent in the country side where supplemental feeding varied from zero to negligible quantity. But the cost of production though comparatively low did not seem so promising as to offer a better and lucrative proposition in absence of adequate supplement.
