Title : Comparative study on fattening performance of different goat breeds supplemented with common fodder trees in mid hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: S. H. Ghimire, Author ; B. N. Nepali, Author ; R. Shah, Author ; R. P. Ghimire, Author ; S. Malla, Author Publication Date: 2022 Article on page: 103-114 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Dry matter, average daily gain, mixed fodders, short term intake rate Abstract: Goat (Capra hircus) is important meat animal of the country. Fattening performance of different breeds of goats with
common mid hill fodder trees was conducted in Completely Randomized Design with 4×5 factorial arrangements at
Goat Research Station, Tanahun. The first factor was breed of goats and second factor was species of fodder trees. The
main parameters monitored included dry matter (DM) intake, fattening performance and average daily gain (ADG) of
goats with respect to different fodders. Results showed that DM intake by breeds of goats and species of fodder trees
were highly significant (p different (p cross, Khari and Barbari cross were 70.93g, 59.35g, 53.38g and 45.36g, respectively and highly significant

fattening in terms of weight gain and voluntary intake. Likewise, L. monopetala and F. lacor were found better in
fattening the male goats compared to other fodders.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Comparative_study_on_fattening_performanc [...]

Title : Effect of forced molting on post molt production performance of locally available commercial laying chicken Material Type: printed text Authors: S. Sapkota, Author ; R. Shah, Author ; D. K. Chhetri, Author ; S.R. Barsila, Author Publication Date: 2018 Article on page: 199-204 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: : Forced molting, layers, post molt, mortality, feed intake Abstract: A study was done at a commercial farm in Sorabhagh, Morang district on layers using a cage system
for 114 days during June 24, 2017 to October 15, 2017. The objective of this study was to determine
the effect of forced molting on production parameters of Lohmann layers. The cages were disinfected
before the study with Virkon-s and Hydrogen peroxide. 3072 laying birds were divided into three
treatment groups.The treatments were- without feed restriction (control=T0), 7 days feed restriction
(T1
) and 15 days feed restriction (T2) which was further replicated each for four times. There were
256 birds in each replication. The mortality rates, feed intake per bird, egg production and egg weight
were recorded. Analysis of variance showed significantly (p the treatment groups during the first 15 days. Accordingly, higher mortality (1.07%) was recorded
in T2. Result revealed a significant difference in feed intake throughout the study period. In the end,
higher feed intake (102.45 g) was recorded in T2. However, statistically similar (p>0.05) feed intake
was observed in T1
and T0. The results showed a significant difference in egg production among
the treatment groups. Higher egg production (65.9%) was observed in the T2
group at the end of the
experimental period with an increasing trend. However, lower egg production (47.7%) was recorded
in T0. Statistically similar egg weight (p>0.05) was recorded in all treatment groups throughout the
study period.The results obtained from this study revealed that forced molting can increase the egg
production and feed intake rate with the cost of slight increment in the mortality rate.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Effect_of_forced_molting_on_post_molt_pro [...]
