Title : Growth comparison of piglets fed with different level of bakery waste in basal diet Material Type: printed text Authors: M. R. Tiwari, Author ; H. R. Dhakal, Author ; M. Sah Sudi, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 261-267 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Pig, feeding, feed intake, body weight gain, Nepal Abstract: An experiment was done on weaned piglets at Piggery Research Unit of Regional Agricultural Research Station, Tarahara,
Sunsari, NARC, during 6 January 2019 to 5 May 2019 for 120 days after adjustment period of seven days. Twenty piglets,
after weaning at 4-6 months of age were allocated into four treatments, each with 5 replications by using Completely
Randomized Design. Four types of diets were used as treatments. Bakery waste was not incorporated in the control group
diet (T1) whereas in the diet of T2, T3 and T4 maize as an ingredient was replaced by 25, 50 and 75% with bakery waste,
respectively. Concentrate mixture was provided in adlib amount twice a day and refusal was measured in next morning
while body weight gain was measured at 15 days interval. The findings revealed that highest total body weight gain was
observed when maize was replaced by bakery waste (50%) (T3).But the total body weight gain was statistically similar
(p>0.05) among the treatments group. The average daily gain was also highest when maize as an ingredient was replaced
by bakery waste 50% (T3) with the gain of 325 g/day. Total feed intake during experimental period was highest for the
same treatment. Feed Conversion Ratio (FCR) of entire (120 days) experimental period was also statically similar (p>0.05)
for all treatments (1kg body weight: 2kg feed). The findings thus suggested that replacement of maize as an ingredient by
bakery waste in piglet diet could be beneficial if it is replaced by 50% compared to 25% or 75% inclusion.Further in depth
research is required to assess the effectiveness of replacing maize and other important ingredients with bakery waste before
recommending this practice to the piglet growers.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Growth%20comparison%20of%20piglets%20fed% [...]

Title : Maximizing fodder yield of teosinte (Euchlaena mexicana) through sowing dates and mixed fodder cropping management Material Type: printed text Authors: B. Khanal, Author ; N. R. Devkota, Author ; M. R. Tiwari, Author ; N. A. Gorkhali, Author Publication Date: 2020 Article on page: 269-278 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: teosinte, cowpea, fodder legume, herbage mass, sowing dates Abstract: Teosinte (Euchlaena mexicana) is one of the most popular summer growing cereal fodder, rich in energy, dry matter (DM) and
other nutrients, yet productivity of this fodder in Nepal has not been achieved as expected due to several important factors
including cultivation management and sowing dates. An experiment was done during April to August 2018 at Directorate
of Agricultural Research, NARC, Province-5, Khajura, Banke by using Split Plot design with the objective to identify the
appropriate sowing dates in relation to possible combination of local fodder legumes with teosinte. It was expected that best
possible combination of fodder legumes with teosinte would increase both herbage mass as well as quality aspects through
increased productivity. Accordingly main plot treatments were sowing dates (April 18, May 3, and May 18) and sub-plot
treatments were set as combination of fodder cowpea, lablab bean, and rice bean, each with teosinte, and sowing of teosinte
as sole crop. Findings revealed that plant height, leaf length, tiller density of teosinte, and number of branches and trifoliate
leaves of fodder legumes had contributed significantly to the cumulative herbage mass. Significantly highest green herbage
and dry herbage mass (p sowing. The combination of teosinte and cowpea had yielded significantly higher herbage mass (p others fodder species combinations. Preliminary findings of this research thus indicate the possibility of promoting mixed
cultivation of teosinte with fodder cowpea in order to increase both herbage mass and quality.Link for e-copy: https://afu.edu.np/sites/default/files/Maximizing%20fodder%20yield%20of%20teosin [...]
