The growth parameters like body weight, feed consumption, and feed conversion ratio of the coloured birds like Aseel, Dahlem Red, Kaveri, Kadaknath and Rhode Island Red were studied in the intensive conditions. Carcass characteristics, incidence of mortality and cost of production of different types of coloured chicken were measured. Kaveri showed the highest body weight gain and Kadaknath the lowest (P≤0.05) among the five types and the sequence found was: Kaveri>Dahlem Red>RIR>Assel and Kadaknath. Feed conversion ratio followed the order: Kadaknath/RIR/Dahlem Red> Aseel>Kaveri, the differences being significant (P≤0.05). The mortality rate was highest for Rhode Island Red (20%) followed by Dahlem Red (10%), Kaveri/Kadaknath (8%) and Aseel (2%). The dressing percentage was higher in Rhode Island Red, Kaveri and Dalhem Red than Assel and Kadaknath. Some other carcass parameters like back, thigh and drum stick yield percentage also differed significantly among the types of chicken. The cost of production per kg live weight or per kg dressed weight was the lowest for Kaveri and highest for Kadaknath. From the above experiment it was concluded that Kaveri excelled the other colored chicken type in respect to the body weight gain, feed efficiency followed by RIR, Dahlem Red and Aseel.","PeriodicalId":13503,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of animal nutrition","volume":"169 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78705268","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}

Two experiment was conducted: in the first experiment total gas and methane production along with digestibility of dry and organic matter was measured in vitro ; in the second experiment two different experimental levels of RBCL was tested on eighteen crossbred calves. Six substrate comprising of either 0 (T 1 ), 4 (T 2 ), 8 (T 3 ), 12 (T 4 ), 16 ( 5 ) or 20 (T 6 ) % RBCL, replacing equal amount of maize grain of control were tested. Response criteria during in vitro evaluation was gas and methane production, and digestibility of dry matter and organic matter. During the second experiment, eighteen crossbred calves were randomly distributed into three groups of six each in an experiment based on completely randomized design. Calves of control group (GI) were fed a standard dietary concentrate and wheat straw to meet their nutrient requirements (ICAR, 2013). However, 8 and 12% of maize of the concentrate mixture of control group was replaced with RBCL in groups GII and GIII, respectively. The net gas production and methane production (ml/200mg), in vitro true dry matter and organic matter digestibility (%) decreased (P 0.05) among the groups. Although body weight gain apparently seemed to decrease with increased levels of RBCL values were comparable among the groups. Clinical chemistry profile was comparable among the groups. It was concluded that RCBL can replace up to 12% of maize grain of the concentrate mixture without any adverse impact on plane of nutrition, clinical chemistry and performance of crossbred calves.","PeriodicalId":13503,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of animal nutrition","volume":"93 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"79432664","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}

Standardized diets were subjected to different processing techniques viz. raw, boiling and extrusion. The in-vitro study was performed with two incubation stages, with gastric phase of 2 hours in the presence of pepsin, gastric lipase in HCl solution, and intestinal phase of 4 h in presence of pancreatin and bile salts in buffer solution. Data analysis revealed that extrusion improved (P<0.01) in-vitro nutrient digestibility and the best (P<0.01) response was observed in diets having 5% SN containing extruded dog food. Maximum (P<0.01) dry matter digestibility and organic matter digestibility was observed in extruded diet; No significant difference (P<0.01) was observed in crude protein digestibility at 5% SN supplementation. However, with 10% and 15% SN supplementation, no significant difference (P<0.01) was observed in raw and boiled diets, but crude protein digestibility increased (P<0.01) with extrusion as compared to raw and boiled diets. Ether extract digestibility decreased (P<0.01) in boiled diet at all the levels of SN supplementation. Irrespective of processing techniques, level of SN supplementation had shown non-significant difference in nutrient digestibility but the extent was lesser than no supplementation. It was concluded that SN can safely be included in dog diet at 5% level.","PeriodicalId":13503,"journal":{"name":"Indian journal of animal nutrition","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81546578","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}

ADY ( Saccharomyces Cerevisiae CNCM I-1077) was supplemented in one experimental group at the rate of 2 % of dry matter intake (DMI) (~ 10 g) for a period of 120 days including 6 days period of digestibility trial. At the end of the experiment, rumen liquor was collected from all animals 4 hours post feeding to assess for fermentation metabolites. There was a significant improvement (P < 0.05) in final body weight, dry matter intake, feed to body weight gain ratio and digestibility of nutrients except ether extract in ADY supplemented group as compared to non-supplemented group. ADY supplementation significantly increased (P < 0.05) the ruminal pH, TVFA and TCA precipitated nitrogen with a decreased concentration of ammonia and lactic acid in the ruminal fluid.
