Keywords: Animal  products;  Research;  Fisheries;  Pastures;  Livestock Abstract: The study is a synthesis of findings of results of three different studies viz. large ruminant  crossbreedingprogramme  assessment study  (1993), research  impact study  (1994), and census survey  of Lumle  AgriculturalResearch  Centre's Extension  Command Area  {I991).   The study  has primarily   attempted  to identify the factorsaffecting  adoption  of  improved  cattle  and  buffaloes  using  a  logistic  regression  analysis  (stepwise forwardmethod). Six  variables  viz  household food   balance,  breeding  bull  distribution programme.   number of  largeruminants  (LS unit),  interaction between number  of large ruminants  and livestock system, feed  source  and sexof household  head significantly  affected  adoption  of improved  breed  of buffalo.

However, food   balance, number of large ruminants, and interaction between number of large ruminants and feed   balance was positively   correlated.   whilst  the  rest  of  the  variables  were  negatively   correlated  with improved  breed  adoption. Striking  results  qf  the  study   are  that  wealthier   class  of farmers,    and farmhouseholds with Kudo/mixed feed  source  have adopted  improved  breed of both species.  Negative  correlationof breeding  bull  distribution programme   with adoption  of improved  animals  by farm  households  residing  inprogramme   villages  is indicative  of diffusion  q( the technology  to villages  without  breeding  bull  distributionprogramme,   attributing  to the success  of the programme.

An examination of the effects of differing row- to- row spacing on the growth characteristics of Deenanath grass / Poudel G.R    

Public ISBD in Promotion of animal production through research and development: Proceedings of the 2nd National Animal Science Convention, Lalitpur, August 7-10, 1995 / Pariyar, D.     Title : An examination of the effects of differing row- to- row spacing on the growth characteristics of Deenanath grass Material Type: printed text Authors: Poudel G.R, Editor ; Ferris C. P., Author Publisher: Lalitpur : Nepal Animal Science Association Publication Date: 1995 Pagination: 46-48 p. Keywords: Animal  products;  Research;  Fisheries;  Pastures;  Livestock Abstract: Deenanath grass (Pennisetum pedicellatum) is a potential fodder crop grown in summer. Although, it isgrown mostly in tropical areas, a trial was conducted at an altitude of 1700m to examine the total DMyield and tillering effect on different R-R spacing.  The standard spacing for transplanted Deenanath grasswas considered as 30cm x 15cm (R-R x P-P) according to Chatterjee and Das (1989). The trial wasconsidered as Latin Square Design having 4 treatments and 4 replications. Though, highest plant height(average 58.3cm) and tiller number (16.95 per plant, significant at 0.05%) was observed in T-3(25%increased R-R spacing); maximum DM yield (average 3556kg/ha) and highest tiller number (average433.7per  m2) was found  in reduced R-R spacing by 50%.

Material Type: printed text Authors: Paudyal Ram Mani, Author Publisher: Lalitpur : Nepal Animal Science Association Publication Date: 1995 Pagination: 153-159 p. Keywords: Animal  products;  Research;  Fisheries;  Pastures;  Livestock Abstract: The Yak is an animal with a promising economic future and only domesticated bovine of the high altitude > 300m located within the perimeter of 65-115 Latitude North. It has been endowed physiologically to live even temperature below than 55c with scanty feed resources. Low gestation period (254 days) with less birth weight and small neonatal calf (9.2 kg) is an adaptive measure to the high altitude.  Mature body size and productive status of yak in different yak herding countries varies.  Small  body size (180-390kg) sure footsness,  poorly   developed  sweet-glands,  long  calving  interval  (616  days),  and  a  thick  layer  of sub- cutaneous fat  and two  type  of hairs  (coarse  and fine)  work  as  an  effective  insulator  against  the  low temperature  are also adaptive  measure  to the high  altitude  and cold environment.  Good well controlled research data concerning the physiology of the yak is spare and very little research work has been carried out so far to understand the physiological adaptation in high altitude with low temperature,  and to improve productivity  through scientific  breeding and management  systems.

Keywords: Animal  products;  Research;  Fisheries;  Pastures;  Livestock Abstract: An observation trial was conducted at Rohun alpine pasture at 3800m altitude. This pasture land is grazed for 2-3 months in the summer by sheep, goats, buffalo and cattle. The purpose of the trial was to identify thebotanical composition, the biomass production and the proximate analysis of the forage. Ten species of grass were identified but no legumes were found. Biomass production was found to be 2.4 MTDM/ha in August, and 2.1 MTDM/ha in September. Protein content of the pasture was higher when harvested in August (10.89%) as compared to thatharvested in September (9.52%).

Material Type: printed text Authors: Thakur U .C., Author ; Varma S.K, Author Publisher: Lalitpur : Nepal Animal Science Association Publication Date: 1995 Pagination: 78-81 p. Keywords: Animal  products;  Research;  Fisheries;  Pastures;  Livestock Abstract: A complete dialed involving four  breeds viz. Rhode Island red, Australorp, whit Plymouth Rock and whiteCornish was conducted  Total 507 chicks belonging .to sixteen genetic groups resulting from  8 hatches onwhich data were available for production  traits, were utilized for  analysis. The traits studied were age andweight at sexual maturity and 90 days egg production.  All crosses differed significantly.  The direct genetic effect estimated were positive  in white Plymouth Rock and white Cornish for  the traits and variance due to direct genetic effect was highly significant. Average heterosis estimated was highest for weight at sexualmaturity 33.719±10.305 and with exception of age at sexual maturity, weight at sexual maturity and 90days egg production were highly significant.  Line heterosis was also highly significant for all the traits.The  lines  with  best  specific  combining  ability  were  RIRxAo,  RIRxWPR   WPRxWC for   age  at  sexualmaturity, RIRxAo and WPRxWC for  90 days egg production.  Variance due to SCA was highly significantfor  weight at sexual maturity and 90 days egg production  but not for  age at sexual maturity The Residualreciprocal  effect was highly significant for  age and weight  at sexual  maturity  but not for  90 days eggproduction.  Intra population selection could be adopted for improvement of economic traits for furtherdiallel experiments.
