Abstract

An experiment was conducted during two consecutive years of 2017-18 and 2018-19 at National Dairy Research Institute, Karnal under randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. This study aimed to evaluate the performance of eight fodder-based cropping systems (CS) in Indo-gangetic plain region (IGP) viz., sole napier bajra hybrid (CS ), sole guinea grass (CS ), napier bajra hybrid + cowpea (Kharif)/ 1 2 berseem (Rabi) (CS ), guinea grass + cowpea (Kharif)/ oats (Rabi) (CS ), multicut sorghum-berseem (Rabi) 3 4 (CS ), cowpea-maize-oats (CS ), baby corn-cowpea-chinese cabbage (Rabi) (CS ), summer moong–multicut 5 6 7 sorghum–ryegrass (Rabi) (CS ). The results revealed that selection of the crops in different cropping systems 8 significantly influenced green fodder yield and fodder quality. Among various fodder base cropping systems, NBH + cowpea/ berseem system was recorded with significantly higher green fodder (177 t/ha/year) and dry fodder (31.5 t/ha/year) yields and also fodder quality attributes. The highest crude protein yield (40.7 q/ha/year) was also recorded in NBH + cowpea/ berseem intercropping system. In terms of economics, the highest gross and net returns were obtained from baby corn-cowpea-chinese cabbage (Rs 3.15 and 2.40 lakh/ha/year, respectively), closely followed by NBH + cowpea/ berseem (Rs 2.74 and 2.15 lakh/ha/year, respectively). To ensure the year-round availability of quality fodder for dairy-based farmers, cultivation of the NBH + cowpea/ berseem cropping system proved to be a viable option.

印度恒河平原全年饲料生产的多样化饲料种植系统的质量、生产力和盈利能力

试验于2017-18年和2018-19年在印度卡纳尔国家乳业研究所连续两年采用随机完全区组设计(RCBD)进行，共3个重复。本研究旨在评估八fodder-based种植系统的性能(CS)在恒河平原地区(显卡)即,鞋底纳皮尔珍珠粟混合(CS),唯一的羊草(CS),纳皮尔珍珠粟混合+豇豆(雨季)/ 1 2一种苜蓿(拉比)(CS)、羊草+豇豆(雨季)/燕麦(拉比)(CS), multicut sorghum-berseem(拉比)3 4 (CS), cowpea-maize-oats (CS),婴儿corn-cowpea-chinese卷心菜(拉比)(CS),夏天moong-multicut 5 6 7 sorghum-ryegrass(拉比)(CS)。结果表明，不同种植制度下作物的选择对青饲料产量和饲料品质有显著影响。在各种饲料基础种植体系中，NBH +豇豆/白豆角种植体系青饲料产量(177 t/ha/年)和干饲料产量(31.5 t/ha/年)显著提高，饲料品质指标也显著提高。NBH +豇豆/蚕豆间作体系的粗蛋白质产量最高(40.7 q/ha/年)。在经济方面，玉米-豇豆-白菜的总收益和净收益最高(分别为3.15和2.4万卢比/公顷/年)，紧随其后的是NBH +豇豆/ berseem(分别为2.74和21.5万卢比/公顷/年)。为了确保以奶牛为基础的农民全年获得优质饲料，种植NBH +豇豆/贝贝种植系统被证明是一个可行的选择。
