Abstract
Goat farming plays a prominent role in the rural economy in supplementing the income of rural household particularly the landless, marginal and small farmers. Goat is considered as poor man's cow and it can be profitably reared with low investment under different systems of management. They provide quick return on account of their short generation intervals, high rate of prolificacy and making the related products. Goats' importance is indicated by various functional contributions like milk, meat, skin, socio-economic relevance, security, income generation, human nutrition and stability of farming system. Goats are the backbone of rural people's economy of arid, semi-arid and hilly regions of our country. Goats are mainly raised by poor farmers and distressed women with little capital investment (FAO,1991). They contribute significantly to the Indian economy by sustaining the livelihood and supplementing the income of the small farmers and rural poor’s. As per 19th census 2012 India contributes about 135.17 million to the world's goat population and occupies 2nd position in the world. Goat contributes about 26.4% of the total livestock population in India out of which 4.87% contributed by Jharkhand state having goat population 65,81,449.
Considering these facts, the current research work was planned with following objectives –
1.To study the effect of feeding Moringa oleifera leaf powder(MOLP) on growth performance of growing female black Bengal goat under intensive and semi-intensive systems of management.
2.To study the effect of feeding Moringa oleifera leaf powder on age at attainment of sexual maturity of growing female black Bengal goat under intensive and semi-intensive systems of management.
3.To study feed conversion efficiency of feeding Moringa oleifera leaf powder in growing female black Bengal goat under intensive and semi-intensive systems of management.
4.To study the effect of feeding Moringa oleifera leaf powder on haematological and biochemical profile in growing female black Bengal goat under intensive and semi-intensive systems of management.
