Abstract: |
A study of 75 days was carried out on 15 Murrah buffalo calves at the livestock Farm .of the institute of Agriculture and Animal Science, Rampur, Chitwan, to see the effect of replacing concentrate mixture of their diet through dried brewer's grains (DBG) on fattening cost. The overall mean body weight gains during the study period were 333.4, 513.3 and 417.3 g/day for control (Tz), 25% crude protein of the concentrate mixture replaced by DBG (T2) and 50% crude protein of the concentrate mixture replaced by DBG (T3). However, the variation or daily gain did not differ significantly. The overall fattening cost and cost to produce one kilogram of body weight were Rs. 36.36; Rs 20; 78; and Rs. 23.02 for T1, T2 and T3 respectively. DM consumption by the animals to gain one kilogram of live weight for the respective treatments were 14.0,9.0 and 11.3 kg, respectively. It was concluded that the dried brewer's grains could replace up to 25% crude protein of the concentrate mixture of the diets of buffalo calves satisfactorily. |
