Agric. at Moshtohor during 2011 season. This research aims to study the effect of tomato inoculation with salt-tolerant plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains Pseudomonas fluorescence D23, Bacillus pumilus D139 and Azospirillum lipoferum D178 in combination with humic acid and organic manure (compost) on growth performance and chemical composition of tomato under saline stress. Obtained results revealed that the highest significant of growth characters was observed in case of tomato inoculated with biostimulant combined with compost at one and half dose in presence of humic acid. Tomato inoculated with biostimulant combined with compost at one and half dose in presence of humic acid gave the highest significant values of total sugars, total amino acids, titratable acidity, vitamin C , total soluble solids, total and conju...

The animals in I, II, III, and IV group were fed on ad lib green sorghum, sorghum + 0.75 kg concentrate, sorghum + 1.5 kg concentrate and sorghum + 2.75kg concentrate respectively for a month. The blood serum and ramen + feeds ample were collected and analyzed for glucose, total protein and phosphorus the result in dictated that animal consuming higher amount of concentrate has a tendency of higher level of glucose in seamen fluid phosphorus. Glucose content varies with leady Wight of the animal. With the relationship of g = 55.83 + 0.245 × (r = 0.868) (r = 0.75) (n =16). The relationship with age is also positive with on equation of y = 11+0.384× (r = 0.76). The total protein content varies and is poor and in positive relation with glucose with equation of

Attempt was made in this experiment to study effect of processing method on proximate composition of black soybean. Four Kilograms of black soybean was taken and subjected to three different processing methods like germination, roasting and cow urine treatment while one group was taken as control. Results indicated highly significant (P0.01) differences in dry matter, crude protein, ether extract, ash and crude fibre content of black soybean among different groups compared to control. All processing methods were effective in improving nutritional value of black soybean thereby increasing its utilization in foods and food formulations.

During starter phase (0-21 days), the body weight gain was significantly (P£0.05) higher in T3incorporated with 2% giloe. The feed conversion ratio was significantly (P£0.05) improved in broiler chicks fed diet incorporated with 1% giloe (T2). The performance index was significantly better in T2 and T3 compared to other groups. During finisher phase (22-42 days), the feed conversion ratio was significantly better in T2 and T6 compared to other groups. Pe...

In Vermont, foragers are in regular contact with these introduced species and can play an integral role in their removal through the gathering, harvesting, and consumption of edible invasive plants. Through questionnaires to the public, in-depth interviews with foraging experts, and participation in community herb walks and plant harvesting, I explored perspectives on foraging in Vermont and its relation to the collection and consumption of invasive plant species. By interpreting the feedback, responses, and observations gathered, I deciphered emergent ideas and common themes as they relate to foraging for these species. Conversations about our food system cannot, and should not, ignore the growing influence of invasive species on our familiar landscapes. Several themes emerged after thorough analysis and reflection. These themes include: aligning the values of the foraging community with the impact of foraging for invasive species, reframing language and attitudes surrounding these species, understanding our changing world, and capitalizing on benefits and addressing barriers of invasive species foraging. Based on the results of this research, the foraging community of Vermont could be a unique and valuable avenue to use in spreading awareness and knowledge of this movement. II.

Group I was taken as control while Group II was provided with Tinospora cordifolia @ 4% of concentrate mixture, group III with Mentha arvensis @ 4% of concentrate mixture and group IV with both Tinospora cordifolia and Mentha arvensis @ 2% of concentrate mixture each. The dry matter intake, dry matter intake/W, TDN intake/W and DCP intake/W in group III was significantly (P<0.05) higher than group I. The digestibility coefficient of nutrients like dry matter, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract, nitrogen free extract, crude fibre, neutral detergent fibre and acid detergent fibre were not significantly different among the groups. Body weight gain was significantly high in group IV. Tinospora cordifolia and Mentha arvensis can be fed to crossbred calves.

The randomly divided control group was fed with normal standard recommended feed while treated group exposed to nano alumina through oral route in feed for three months. The birds of control group (group I) showed signs of some increased activeness or aggressiveness. At the time of feeding birds from treated group (group II) showed increased response for feeding as compare to group I. There was increased fighting tendency noticed in birds of group II. There was no significant difference in body weight observed between group I and group II throughout the experiment at different time intervals. There was a slight 0.33 %, non significant decrease in the body weight of treated group as compared to controls at 90 days post treatment (DPT).

The birds in treatment T1 (Control) were given standard diet and were supplemented with 0.5% kadi patta leaf powder (T2); 0.5% neem leaf powder (T3); 0.5% kadi patta and neem leaf powder in 50: 50 ratio (T4), 0.5% kadi patta and neem leaf powder in 25: 75 ratio (T5) and 0.5% kadi patta and neem leaf powder in 75: 25 ratio (T6) up to 8 weeks period. Highly significant (P<0.01) differences were found in haemoglobulin, serum glucose and serum cholesterol among the groups. Significant differences (P<0.05) were also found in blood PCV and serum globulin content. Supplementation of neem and kadi patta leaf powder in layer diet resulted in improved feed conversion ratio and decreased ser...

The diet offered to control group was without feed additive while in treatment groups 0.5% ajwain, 0.5% hot red pepper and 0.25% black pepper respectively were provided to the birds through the basal diet. The quails were reared in deep litter system and offered starter diet upto 1–2 weeks of age and thereafter they were offered finisher diets during 3-6th week of age. A feeding trial of 5 weeks was carried out to ascertain the effects of herbal feed additives on the feed intake, body weight gain, feed conversion ratio and performance index. There was a significant improvement in FCR and body weight gain in Japanese quail of hot red pepper supplemented group followed by black pepper treated group. It may be concluded that feed...

Rumen fluid prion concentrate diets was significantly (P<.01) lower than on bicarbonate supplemented diets. Total nitrogen and NH3-N fractions were significantly higher on concentrate supplemented diets. However, NPN and TVFA dad’ not differ significantly. The rumen pH was negatively correlated with total-N (r-0.76**), NH-3N (r =-0.84**), NPN (r=-0.57*) and TVFA (r = -0.55*).

The animals in Group 1 were fed as per requirements (NRC, 2001) while the animals in group II and III were supplemented with 30 g ammonium sulphate or 30 g sulphur coated urea in concentrate mixture in two doses (15 g each) at the time of milking. There were no significant differences among the groups with regards to DM or TDN intake. The digestibility of EE, CF, NFE, NDF and ADF was found to be similar in the three groups except that CP digestibility was higher in supplemented groups. The levels of serum glucose urea concentration were similar in all the groups while those of total protein and total albumin were higher (P<0.05) in group II and III compared to group I. The milk production was higher (P<0.05) in Group II followed by...

This experiment was conducted to study effect of supplementation of black soybean on production parameters in poultry layers. Hundred (20 weeks age) layers were selected for conducting feeding trial for 12 weeks in completely randomized design .Layers were divided into five treatment groups viz T1: control;T2:0.2% raw black soybean;T3 0.2%germinated black soybean;T4:0.2% roasted black soybean and T5:0.2% cow urine treated black soybean supplemented groups. Production parameters were studied in three different phases, viz. Phase I (20-24 weeks), Phase II (25-28 weeks) and Phase III (29-32 weeks).Highest Egg Production was recorded in T5. Highly significant (P<0.01) difference was observed in feed intake in phase II, III and overall phase. Significant differences (P<0.05) was observed among different treatment groups in egg production in phase III and feed intake in phas...
