Title : Testing and evaluation of Mini SRR Dryer in Nepal for rice crop Material Type: printed text Authors: G.B Manandhar, Author ; Rabi Rasaily, Author ; Shrestha, G.L., Author ; R.R Bakker, Author Pagination: 19-27 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Drying air temperature, drying cost, rate, moisture content, payback period Abstract: Mini SRR rice seed dryer received from IRRI consisted of a cylindrical bin, an electric blower (2.5”, 320 watt) with a cylindrical support, a rice husk stove and a metallic pipe. Eight tests were conducted during rainy weeks of Ju ly ,2002 three at Kavre Palanchowk, four at Dhanusha and one at Parsa district Grain loaded varied from 145 to 175 kg with moisture content (MC) from 17.8 to 23.5%. Overall drying rate with rice husk as source of heat was found to be 0.45% MC/hour, which is much higher, compared to results of Vietnamese SRR-1 dryer with electricity as heat source. Extrapolation to 13% final MC by simple linear regression showed an association with one another in a linear way (r = 0.83). With 250 kg loading, drying cost for one ton rice was found to be Rs476 for IRRI dryer but in replicated dryer without heat insulation on metal pipe, it was found to be Rs874 due to lower blower RPM. However, computations show that even cost of replicated dryer would be paid back within 10 years with 35 days of operation per year. It showed the possibility of commercializing t he dryer for the small farmers either for seed or for food grain purpose. Maximum thermal efficiency of 22.4% was obtained at 0.6 kg rice husk/hour and 44.7°C drying air temperature (DAT). With DAT from 44.7°C to 49.0°C at Kavre germination rate of paddy varied from 77-88%. The study, also aimed a t enhancing the coverage of early rice in the country, has shown encouraging result.

Title : Boer Goat (Capra hircus): An alternative breed to increase meat production in Nepal: A Review Material Type: printed text Authors: Panday, S.B., Author Pagination: 311-319 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Boer goat, breeds, crossbreds, kidding rate, live weight gains Abstract: There are about 8.47 million goats in Nepal (MoAC 2009). Most of these goats are local and very adaptive to the different ecological zones of Nepal (Subtropical (Terai goats), mid hills (Khari Goats), Mountains (Sinhal) and Temperate (Changra). There may be about 18 percent crosses between these locals and exotic breeds such as Jamunapari, Barbari, and Kiko. Although the number of the goat population is big, their performances in terms of daily live weight gains were very low (40 to 66 g) as compared with the daily live weight gains of Boer Goats (136 to 250 g) and daily live weight gains of Boer goat crossbreds (100 to 200 g)……………………

Title : Effect of Herbal Liver Stimulant (Livoliv) on the feed consumption, feed conversion ratio, weight gain and economics of commercial broilers Material Type: printed text Authors: Neupane, D., Author ; M Karki, Author Pagination: 331-335 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Broiler chicks, economic return, feed conversion rate, herbal liver stimulant, mortality. Abstract: A study was undertaken to assess the effects of Livoliv on the performance of commercial broilers. One hundred and twenty day-old broiler chicks were allotted into two groups with three replications in each treatment. The control group was fed with the basal diet while the experimental group received the basal diet + Livoliv 250@ 0.25 g/kg of feed. The trial was conducted for 49 days at Swine and Avian Research program, Khumaltar, Nepal. Data on feed intake, body weight, feed conversion and mortality were collected weekly and subjected to statistic analysis…………..

Title : Soil fertility evaluation of middle mountain of Nepal: A case of Shikharpur Municipality, Kathmandu District Material Type: printed text Authors: R Rai, Author ; R.P Tandan, Author ; B.K Krishna, Author Pagination: 316-329 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: GPS points, higher infiltration rate, satellite images and soil fertility maps. Abstract: An attempt is made to evaluate Soil fertility of Shankharapura recently announced Municipality in the Kathmandu District and map them. LRMP maps of land system, geology and land use are overlayed on the recent satellite images and polygons are developed and sampling points are marked with their GPS points to sample. Top soil based on these land use polygons are collected and analysed in the laboratory following methods generally adapted by DoA and NARC. They are classified to the soil taxonomy, grouped into different slopes, land use and land capability classes and prepare different soil fertility maps using ArcGIS software. This municipality occupies arable and non- arable Land. The land systems of this Middle Mountain Range fall on 9a, 9b 10a, 10b, 11 and 12 systems. The lands are south facing with slopes ranging from 1 to 45% (32% gentle terrace, 28% very high and the rest flat and very gentle terrace). Soils of higher percentage of slopes are highly erodible aggravated by light sandy texture……………….
