Abstract
The study entitled “Effect of feeding tamarind crushed seed on growth performance of Osmanabadi growing kids” was conducted for period of 60 days. Twenty goat kids were divided into five groups on the nearness of age and weight. Four feeding treatments were studied namely T1 (Dry roughages (ad. Lib.)+ Green fodder+ Concentrate), T2 (Dry roughages (ad.lib.) + Green fodder + 80% Concentrate + 20 % tamarind crushed seed), T3 (Dry roughages (ad. Lib.) + Green fodder + 60% Concentrate + 40 % tamarind crushed seed), T4 (Dry roughages (ad.lib.) + Green fodder + 40% Concentrate + 60 % tamarind crushed seed), was fulfilled requirement of goat kids in all treatments.
It was observed that, readymade concentrate containing 89.70, 19.79, 12.30, 5.25, 58.51 and 4.15 per cent of DM, CP, EE, CF, NFE and Total ash, respectively.
Daily DM intake differed significantly between the treatments. The goat kids from T3 groups consumed more DM than that of T4, T2 and T1 goat kids groups. The average daily DM intake was 0.506, 0.547, 0.661 and 0.561 kg/day/kids in T1, T2, T3 and T4 groups respectively. This trend thus indicated that there was increase in the daily DM intake when a tamarind crushed seeds was incorporated as concentrate in the rations of kids. Weight gain per day was found higher in T3.
All the kids exhibited satisfactory growth rate 0.044 to 0.064 kg per day and differences were significant. The per kg gain of body weight was higher in T3 treatment. It was over experimental result, the treatment T3 showed better and desirable result as compared with T1, T2 and T4 treatment. There for feeding cost was desirable (Rs.368.72) in T3 treatment. Growth rate was higher in feeding in kids feed concentrate mixture with 40 % tamarind crushed seeds than other group.
Description
The presentation investigation is aimed at the goat which is a multi-purpose animal producing meat, milk, hide, fiber and manure. Goats can thrive well on wide range of feed and fodder. In India there are very poor methods of managing goat. The use of tamarind seed powered can improve the growth of goat kids. Tamarind whole seed contains useful amount of crude protein up to 22.20 percent and seed nut contains crude protein 21.25 percent (Yusuf, et al. 2007). Keeping in view, the economic aspect of sheep and goat rearing, it was suggested that the under privileged families (those from lower socio-economic strata) prefer sheep and goat rearing.
