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
(p of goat and fodder species on ADG were similar up to 8 weeks and later observed significantly different (p L. monopetala and Ficus lacor were better fodders in terms of fattening performance of different breeds of male
goats. From the experiment of blood serum analysis, phosphorus content of F. lacor was significantly higher
(p fodders trees revealed that significantly higher (p lacor, Ficus glaberrima, Melia azedarach and mixed fodders (0.45g, 0.39g, 0.38g, 0.34g and 0.33g DM min1
per
kg metabolic body size), respectively. The results of this study revealed that Boer crosses were more potential for
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 : Fodder productivity of Teosinte at different sowing dates in western mid-hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: N. R. Devkota, Author ; R. P. Ghimire, Author ; D. P. Adhikari, Author ; C. R. Upreti, Author ; L. N. Poudel, Author ; N. P. Joshi, Author Publication Date: 2017 Article on page: 129-137 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Climate, fodder yield, growth parameters Abstract: Teosinte is getting popular in recent years as an important summer fodder in Nepal, thus developing
its package of cultivation practices is a felt need of farmers. An experiment was conducted to
identify the appropriate sowing date of teosinte aiming for western mid hills. The experiment was
done using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with four treatments of varied sowing
dates, each replicated for three times at the experimental site of Goat Research Station, Bandipur,
Tanahun, Nepal. Varied sowing dates had significant influences on the growth parameters, such
as plant height, number of leaves plant-1, number of tillers hill-1 and dried fodder yield. The plants
sown at mid-April had higher dried fodder biomass in comparison to the plants sown on 9th May.
The change in photoperiods and temperature could have influenced to the fodder yield of teosinte.
Adoption of the sowing date of 15th to 23rd April is one of the effective strategies for obtaining
higher biomass yield of teosinte in western mid hills that can contribute substantially in mitigating
the energy deficit situation to the ruminants.

Title : Response of irrigation and plant bio-regulators spray on seed yield and quality of Egyptian clover (Trifolium alexandrinum L.) Material Type: printed text Authors: R. P. Ghimire, Author ; N. R. Devkota, Author ; D. Devkota, Author ; M. P. Sharma, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 151-158 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Seed attributing characters, germination, test weight, seedling vigor Abstract: Lower seed yield and quality is one of the major issues of the Egyptian clover cultivation in Nepal. In order to develop
technologies to increase the seed yield, and to improve the seed quality, an experiment was done in the Regional Agricultural
Research Station, Khajura, Banke, Nepal during November, 2017 to May, 2018, by using Randomized Complete Block
Design with four replications. Treatments composed of two factors combination of irrigation (zero irrigation, and two times
irrigations after cutting for fodder); and spraying of plant bio-regulators (no spray, and two times foliar spray of plant bioregulators at the pre-flowering stage). The plot size was 12 m2
. The parameters measured included seed yield, biological
yield of whole plant above ground level, seed attributing characters, and seed quality. The irrigation and application of plant
bio-regulators alone, significantly (p characters of the seed. Thus the results of this experiment revealed that providing two irrigations to the Egyptian clover in 15 days interval after taking one cutting for fodder in 60 days after sowing, and two times foliar spray of plant bio-regulators in seven days interval at pre-flowering stage could increase its seed yield and overall seed quality aspects.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/jafu
