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 : Honeybee Flora at Kabre, Dolakha District Material Type: printed text Authors: Bista, S., Author ; Shivakoti, Gopal P., Author Publication Date: 2000 Article on page: 18-25 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Apis cerana, bee flora, keeping, dearth period, honey flow Abstract: Adequate knowledge about bee flora is the prerequisite to initiate bee keeping. A study was
conducted at Kabre area of Dolakha district during 1997-1999 to identify existing bee flora and
develop a floral calendar. Based on the interview with bee farmers and visual observations, 119
important plant species were recorded, out of which 47 species were found major sources for
honeybees. Spring season (mid-March to mid-June) and autumn season (mid-Sept to Oct) were
identified as honey flow periods having a number of floral plants such as Guizotia abyssinica,
Fraxinus floribunda, Prunus cerasoides, Pyrus communis, Castanopsis indica, Brassica spp.,
Citrus spp., Berberis spp., Rubus spp., Rhododendron spp. and Trifolium spp. Winter season (mid-
Nov to Feb) is the critical dearth period with a few flowering plants like Reinwardtia indica,
Pogestemon glaber, Caesalpinia spp. and Eupatorium spp. Depending upon the climatic
conditions, possibility of planting multipurpose plants has been discussed. Based on available
flora, major characteristics of these plant species, utility status and flowering duration a bee floral
calendar was developed for Kabre. To conserve these floras, attention must be made to maintain
and multiply the existing flora.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=88
