| dc.description.abstract | The paddy straw treated with different levels of MSL (i.e., 10, 20 and 30%) and subjected to different days (i.e., 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5) of incubation was evaluated through in vitro studies. Based on in vitro studies, optimum level of MSL (20%) and days of incubation (1 day) was chosen and compared with untreated straw through in vivo studies for their effect on nutrient digestibility. Eight crossbred male calves were divided into two equal groups i.e., T1 (control) and T2 (treatment). All the animals in the control group were fed a basal diet comprising of 3.75 kg of paddy straw, 1.6 kg concentrate mixture while those in the treatment group were fed 5 kg of 20% MSL treated paddy straw incubated for one day and 1 kg concentrate mixture (CP 20%) to meet the nutrient requirements (ICAR, 2013). The percent DM, OM, TA, CP, EE, CF, NFE, Ca and P content of MSL were 16.88, 91.96, 8.04, 14.33, 4.37, 0.00, 73.26, 0.24 and 0.69, respectively. The in vitro studies conducted using rumen liquor of buffalo bulls revealed that treatment of paddy straw with MSL at 10, 20 and 30% levels and incubated for 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 days had no effect (P>0.05) on in vitro digestibility (%) of DM, OM and CP. The nutrient intakes (kg/d) of DM, OM, CP, EE, CF, NFE, NDF, ADF, hemi-cellulose and cellulose were significantly higher (P<0.01) in T2 as compared to T1. Feeding of crossbred calves with 20% MSL treated paddy straw incubated for 1 day had no effect (P>0.05) on digestibility coefficients (%) of gross nutrients and fibre fractions as compared to the control. Further, feeding 20% MSL treated paddy straw after 1 day of incubation had no effect (P>0.05) on N, Ca and P retentions (g/d). The DCP content expressed as % in the diet consumed was higher (P<0.01) in T1 as compared to T2, while the TDN content expressed as % in the diet consumed was similar among both the treatments. The DM, DCP, TDN and ME intakes expressed as g/kg W0.75 were similar between both the treatments and were higher than the values recommended by ICAR (2013) standards. Further, feeding 20% MSL treated paddy straw incubated for 1 day resulted in decrease in cost of feed/animal/day by ₹ 4.75 as compared to the control. Based on the results of the present study, it is concluded that feeding 20% MSL treated paddy straw after 1 day of incubation resulted in decreased feed cost/animal/day without any adverse effects on nutrient utilization in crossbred calves. | en_US |
