It can play key role in designing of sustainable farming systems including animal husbandry practices thereby increasing the livelihood that rural populations would accept, develop and maintain innovations and interventions. The domain of traditional veterinary knowledge has attracted a considerable amount of interest amongst scientific community, policy planners and extension workers and development agencies in recent times. The present study is an effort to document the indigenous livestock and animal husbandry practices of the tribal farmers in the tribal region of Madhya Pradesh state. The study was conducted in one purposively selected agriculturally less progressive block, namely, Kundam of Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh state. A total of 60 tribal farmers served as respondents. The findings of the study would help the extension workers, policy makers and scientists to have an insight into the evolution of appropriate technology or practices for sustainable agriculture and bring participation for ultimate development, relation to socioeconomic uplidment of tribal farmers.","PeriodicalId":407606,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125003426","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}

The data was solicited from 120 randomly selected households and the study was conducted through personal interviews of the selected respondents in the villages selected by random sampling technique, personal observations and participatory rural appraisal techniques i.e. transect walk, social mapping, key informant interview, focus group discussions. The results indicated that the livelihoods of tribal communities in the area have traditionally been dominated by the pig based production system- C+G+P. Among the sustainable livelihood components human capital was minimum compared to others and use of traditional knowledge (5.88), education of family members (5.98), ICT tools (5.95) and use of natural resources (5.71) had highest influence on sustainable livelihood of the respondents. The pig production system prevalent in the area were found to be substantially contributing for the sustainable livelihood of the respondents and were the integral part of day-to-day livelihood activities, nutritional security and traditional life style for tribal people in the area (C=Cattle, G= Goat , P=Pig).","PeriodicalId":407606,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128640586","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}

The microbiological quality of the flavoured milk prepared from Gulkand blended with cow milk was studied. The flavoured milk was prepared from cow milk standardized to three fat levels viz. , A 1 , A 2 and A 3 as 2, 2.5 and 3.0 per cent, respectively, sugars B 1 , B 2 , B 3 and B 4 as 5 per cent, 6 per cent, 7 per cent and 8 per cent, respectively, gulkand (C 1 ) aniseed (C 2 ) and carrot (C 3 ) and storage periods 0, 3, 6, 9 and 12 days were used for the preparation of flavoured milk.

The climatic conditions prevailing in the region is sub-temperate with winter temperature during night hours going below zero °C. The objective of investigation was to find out the influence of different factors such as year, season and parity on different litter traits and pre-weaning growth of White Giant rabbits in order to come out with the best strategies for improving the productivity of these rabbits. A total of 946 records for litter size at birth (LSB) and weaning (LSW), litter weight at birth (LWB) and weaning (LWW) were collected in the period between 2000 to 2009 and the data was analyzed using General Linear Model option of SAS 9.2. The overall LSB, LSW, LWB and LWW were 7.067±0.11, 5.788±0.13, 400.00±5.99g and 4.877±0.10 kg, respectively. All the litter traits varied significantly year-wise, however, they were not varying significantly parity-wise except LWW which increased progressively from first parity (4.364 ± 0.32 kg) to fifth parity (5.612 ± 0.27 kg). The season of kindling did not have significant role in affecting different litter traits and the values were comparable. The year, season and sex had significantly (P>0.01) influenced both weaning weight at six weeks and pre-weaning ADG. The growth was better in male animals as evident from higher body weight at six week age and average daily gain (853.090 ± 3.49 g and 19.123 ± 0.08 g/day vs. 820.493 ± 3.53 g and 18.347 ± 0.08 g/day). Rabbits born during winter months gained more weight (876.055 ± 4.86 g and 19.670 ± 0.12 g/day) while performance of rabbits born during spring and rainy season were comparable. The significant effects of the non-genetic factors like year of kindling on all litter traits, individual weight at weaning and pre-weaning ADG, season and parity on some of the traits are indications that any future breed development strategy must take into consideration the environment by providing additional care, feed supplementation and better shelter management to the rabbits so that the full genetic potential can be realized.","PeriodicalId":407606,"journal":{"name":"Research Journal of Animal Husbandry and Dairy Science","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126502126","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}
