Constrains in hybrid Napier production were identified though participatory approach. Preferential ranking technique was utilized to identify the constraints faced by the farmers in hybrid Napier production. The results revealed that lack of suitable high yielding varieties, lack of technical knowledge and less availability of irrigation water were the three most important factors which inhibited the adoption of HYVs of hybrid Napier in Panchmahals district of Gujarat. The yield of green fodder from hybrid Napier in demonstration was 970 q/h as compared local check (665 q/h). The percentage increase in the yield over local check was 45.86. Economic analysis of the yield performance revealed that front line demonstrations recorded higher gross returns (Rupees 67 900/ha) and net return (Rupees 40 500/ha) with h...

The overall mean body weights of CARI Nirbheek chickens at 8, 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20 and 40 weeks of age were 515.06±9.97, 698.90±16.32, 951.78±18.24, 1139.32±26.96, 1372.73±43.51, 1542.87±49.61, 1721.82±46.35 and 2244.13±51.22 g, respectively. Differences in body weights between male and female chickens were found to be significant. The mortality in CARI Nirbheek chicken during the period from 6 to 20 weeks and 21 to 40 weeks of age was recorded 12.20 and 5.09 per cent, respectively. The average age at first egg laying was recorded 157.46±1.19 days while age at sexual maturity was recorded 173.36±2.71 days. The average hen day egg production up to 40 and 72 weeks of age were recorded 54.94±0.41and 167.89±1.42, respectively. The value for different egg quality traits clearly indicated that the eggs produced ...
