The study was conducted in Secondary Goat Breeding Center of Maradi. Forty newborn kids, regardless of sex, were divided randomly into two groups: a \"T-Control \" group receiving only breast milk per feeding (n = 20) and a \"C-Colostrum\" group having the same diet but supplemented with bovine colostrum thawed (50 ml the first day of life, then 25 ml in 2 meals/ day between the ages of 2 and 15d, n = 20). The results indicate that supplementation with bovine colostrum in the first 15 days of life, increases the growth of kids until weaning, modified some barometric changes some settings improves health status and reduces the mortality rate. Birth weights in both groups were similar (1.65 kg vs. 1.64 kg; NS). However, at the end of period 1, the live weight and thus the total weight gain of the kids in-group C was higher (0.61 kg; p < 0.001) than those in-group T. Growth rate was also improved (+41.0 g/d; p < 0.001). For reproductive parameters and body measurements, the mean values of the BMPA were 13.2 ± 0.7 and 14.2 ± 0.2 months, respectively for group C and T; P = 0.07). The values of body measurements in group C animals were higher than those in group T, but the differences were not significant, except for head length and thoracic girth (p < 0.001 and 0.05, respectively). To our knowledge, in the studied environment, this work is original and seems to bring new knowledge likely to have practical applications in areas with farming conditions quite difficult.","PeriodicalId":102989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quality Assurance in Agricultural Sciences","volume":"202 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124542178","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among them, water in either form, is the critical resource for sustaining life on earth. The conditions are more challenging in countries like Pakistan, where rainfall is less and semi-arid conditions prevail throughout the year. Pakistan agriculture produce is dependant mostly on the irrigation water and requires a well-chosen and sustainable water management strategic plan. However, certainaspects like water salinity, water logging, water sodicity, metal toxicity and surface water recharge are among the most crucial issues threatening the agriculture sector.This review will focus on the basic irrigation system of Pakistan, how the water is distributed among farmers, policies and their implementations and specific emphasis is made on the advanced irrigation methods being applied in the country. A complete prognosis is the utmost need under the current scenario of irrigation water needs and for future strategies. Moreover, the recent literature relevant to the factors that impedes the sustainable use of water and how it can be managed more efficiently under the available resources.Future prospects are suggested as up scaling of moderntechnology, improved agriculture-education and trainings, better-quality inputs for improved irrigation, reclamation of saline/water logged soils, more focus on credit and support prices for water inputs as well as improved water conservation techniques.

Although combined harvester is gaining popularity, however, In most parts of Pakistan, the wheat crop is still manually harvested and then mechanically threshed. Therefore, the current study was conducted on Latif farm of Sindh Agriculture University, Tando Jam to evaluate the harvest losses during the manual harvesting and threshing operations in wheat. Three popular wheat varieties (SKD-1, TJ-83 & KIRAN-95) were selected for this study. The wheat crop was manually harvested and then harvest losses were estimated by harvest losses were estimated on the basis of collection and analysis of leftover / spilled earth heads in the freshly harvested field. Threshing losses were estimated by calculating the proportions of broken, unbroken grains and unthreshed ear heads. The study focused on harvesting and threshing operations and their impacts on crop production. The study depicted that harvesting operation was performed manually and threshing by tractor threshing charges were 05 and 10 percent of the crop production respectively while harvesting losses were high at the time of 16 percent due to over-drying and unskilled labors used in the field. Technological advancements in agriculture machinery led to reducing the harvesting and threshing losses and therefore, the study suggested that necessary steps of mechanized operation may be taken for minimizing the losses.","PeriodicalId":102989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quality Assurance in Agricultural Sciences","volume":"20 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114822977","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Both water quality and quantity have great importance for the existence of the agriculture sector that is a backbone of economy of Pakistan. Water is necessary for all living creatures. The groundwater quality was assessed using GIS (Geographical Information System) applications and GS+ software. The three major indicators Electrical Conductivity (EC), Sodium Absorption Ratio (SAR) and Residual Sodium Carbonate (RSC) were analyzed during pre and post-monsoon season. These three major parameters and pH of groundwater quality are mostly checked in both seasons. The water quality parameters of 183 monitoring sites were analyzed according to standard protocol by Punjab Irrigation Department and PCRWR\u0000(Pakistan Council of Research in Water Resources). The groundwater quality was mainly affected by EC, SAR and RSC parameters. The area effected during pre and post monsoon was “75 and 70%” respectively. The groundwater quality maps showing adverse effects increasingly from north-east to south-west. But most of the area affected due to EC parameter and high adverse effect was observed during post monsoon season in case of SAR and RSC parameters.","PeriodicalId":102989,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Quality Assurance in Agricultural Sciences","volume":"390 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115465689","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
