dc.description.abstractThe study entitled “Growth performance of Gir heifer on feeding of jowar straw in combination with soybean straw” was conducted for period of 120 days. Six Gir heifers were divided into two groups on the nearness of age and weight. Three feeding treatment were studied namely T1 (Jowar straw 100% + hybrid napier + concentrate), T2 (50% Jowar straw + 50% Soybean straw + hybrid napier + concentrate), T3 ( 50% Jowar straw + 50% Salt treated Soybean straw + hybrid napier +concentrate) to fulfil requirement of gir heifer in all treatments. Dry, green fodder and concentrate mixture were provided as per thumb rule. It was observed that soybean and 2% salt treated soybean straw was containing 7.64,1.73, 38.94, 41.31, 11.89 and 8.75,1.75, 37.89, 39.16,11.94 per cent, CP, EE, NFE, CF and ash while jowar straw was containing 2.75, 2.90, 50.47, 35.42 and 8.68 per cent CP, EE, NFE, CF and ash respectively.Daily DM intake differed non- significantly between the treatments. The heifer from T3 groups consumed more DM than that of T1 and T2 heifers. The average daily dry matter intake was 6.51, 6.68 and 7.05 kg/day/heifer in T1, T2 and T3 groups respectively. This trend thus indicated that there was increase in the daily DM intake when 2% salt treated soybean straw and jowar straw was incorporated as roughage in the rations of heifer. Weight gain per day was found higher in combination feeding of jowar and salt treated soybean straw. All the heifers exhibited satisfactory growth rate of 358 to 470 g 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 when compared with T1 and T2 treatment. Therefore, feeding cost was desirable in T3. Growth rate was higher in heifers fed combination of jowar and salt treated soybean straw than sole feed of jowar and combination of jowar and soybean straw and was found economical for gain in weight in Gir heifers.en_US
