Growth, Efficiency of Feed Utilization and Economics of Different Rearing Periods of Turkeys / Mukesh Karki in Nepal Agriculture Research Journal, Vol. 6 (2005)
[article]
Title : Growth, Efficiency of Feed Utilization and Economics of Different Rearing Periods of Turkeys Material Type: printed text Authors: Mukesh Karki, Author Publication Date: 2005 Article on page: 84-88 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Economics, feed utilization, growth, rearing period, turkey Abstract: The present study on body weight and feed efficiency for growth was carried out on 112 turkey
poults from day of hatch to 28 weeks of age during May to November 2002 at Poultry Research
Unit of Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS)-Parwanipur. Layer starter ration
supplemented with 6% fish meal + 0.3% lysine + 0.125% methonine was fed up to 8 weeks of
age, then after layer finisher diet was fed. The body weight, feed consumption was observed at 4
weekly interval and feed efficiency and economics of rearing period in terms of income over
feed and poults cost was calculated. Significant increase in body weight was recorded up to 28
weeks in male and 20 weeks in female. Male turkey had significantly higher body weight than
that of female in all ages. Feed efficiency is best at earlier age but up to 16 weeks it is 3.77 for
male after that it detoriates progressively. Male turkey exhibited better feed efficiency than that
of female for all weeks. Significantly higher return per bird was obtained from male than that of
female in all age. The profit per bird for both male and female was found maximum in 16 weeks
of rearing, followed by 20 weeks and 24 weeks. Therefore, instead of waiting for highest body
weight, it is better to sell turkey at 16 to 20 weeks of age to take maximum advantage of higher
weight gain, higher efficiency of feed utilization and higher profit.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=66

Title : Effect of Pinching and Levels of Gibberellic Acid on Growth, Flowering and Yield of African Marigold (Tagetes erecta l.) Material Type: printed text Authors: H. P. Pandey, Author ; K Mishra, Author ; S. S. Pant, Author ; U. Pun, Author Publication Date: 2015 Article on page: 63-70 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Gibberellic acid, pinching, growth, flower yield and African marigold. Abstract: A field experiment was conducted to evaluate the plant growth and yield of African
marigold cv. Calcutta Local through pinching practice and using different level of GA3
in the Abloom Flora Farm of Gunjanagar, Chitwan from March to August, 2013. The
experiment was conducted in two factorial randomized complete block design with two
pinching levels (pinching and non-pinching practices) and five GA3 levels (0, 50, 100,
150 and 200 ppm). Result showed a significant effect of pinching and levels of gibberellic
acid on plant growth and flower yield. Pinching also significantly increased the number
of branches, plant spread, number of flower per plant, yield per plant
(299.33 g) and yield per hectare (12.04 t/ha). Earlier days to flower initiation was
observed in non-pinching. Gibberellic acid at 50,100,150 and 200 ppm significantly
increased the plant height, number of branches, plant spread and number of flower per
plant, flower yield per plant and yield per hectare over control. Earlier days to flower
initiation was found with increase in GA3 level. Among all levels, GA3 at 200 ppm was
significantly superior due to its maximum flower yield (14.64 t/ha).

Bista, Author ; Wagle, S.K., Author ; Shrestha M.K., Author ; Thapa, A.B., Author Pagination: 365-368 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Participatory evaluation, Sahar growth, aquaculture potential Abstract: Sahar (Tor putitora) formed a substantial natural fishery in the major riverine and lacustrine ecosystem of Nepal. Biological diversity of this species is being threatened by various anthropogenic activities. In view of the conservational value and the aquaculture potential of T.putitora, significant development in artificial propagation of this species has been achieved. Information and data on growth and production of Sahar in captive environment are meager. Farmers’ perception on raising this species and analysis of comparative advantage over other cultivated carp species are essential whether or not Sahar could be established in current aquaculture setting………………..

Title : Production function estimation of wheat using frontier approach Material Type: printed text Authors: Bhujel, R.B., Author Pagination: 242-247 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Predominantly, economic, growth, survey , wheat, technical efficiency, Cobb Douglas production function, significant, independent variables. Abstract: Nepal is predominantly an agricultural country where more than 80 per cent people depend on agriculture. The economic growth of the country is highly determined by agricultural production. Among agricultural production, cereal crops occupy the major part which feed the day by day growing population of the country. Wheat is a third major cereal crop grown in the country. Since the introduction of modem varieties of wheat has resulted in increase of both area and production, but the productivity growth has not been experienced so satisfactory…………………………………
