Title : Development and Evaluation of Improved Feeders for Goats Suitable to Stall-fed Management System Material Type: printed text Authors: Chet R. Upreti, Author ; Kuwar, Bahadur Singh, Author ; Panday, S.B., Author Publication Date: 2005 Article on page: 78-83 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Contamination, cost effective, feed saving, small farmer, stall-feed, suitable feeders Abstract: Five different types of feeders were designed and tested on goats to find out their effectiveness
in reducing feed wastage and cost fabrication. Experiment was conducted at Agriculture
Research Station (ARS)-Bandipur for two years. Tested feeders were hexagonal, rectangular, hay
rack, chain barrel and conventional wooden Tatnu. Feeders were fabricated using iron bars and
woods. They were tested with the adult goats for feed wastage and feed contamination. Experimental
feeds were fodders twigs (Tanki), forage (Stylo, Napier), crop residue (straw from black bean) and
commercial concentrate. Chain barrel type of feeder was also tested at farmer’s field at Baradi.
Rectangular feeders have significantly lower (P other tested feeders. The fabrication cost was NRs 3200, 1700, 700, 900, and 150 for hexagonal,
rectangular; hay rack, chain barrel and conventional wooden Tatnu respectively. The rectangular
feeder is suitable for goats feeding in Tarai and in the hills of Nepal. It has provision for
feeding fodders, grasses, crop residues and concentrates together at the same time. Chain barrel
type had comparatively higher wastage (10.7% for fodder) than the rectangular but was preferred by
the farmers due to its low fabricating cost, portable in size, small space required and easy to
handle. Therefore, the rectangular feeder is recommended for middle level farmers and chain barrel
for small farmers who rear few goats.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=65

Title : Evaluation of Selected Species of Fodder Trees Cultivated for Feeding Ruminant Animals in the Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Khanal, R.C., Author ; Chet R. Upreti, Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 88-94 p Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Digestibility, goat, nutritive value, performance, tree fodders Abstract: Leaves and twigs from four species of tree fodders, Aetocarpus lakoocha (AL), bauhinia
purpurea (BP), Garuga pinnata (GP) and Ficus sroxburghii (FR), cultivated widely for
feeding ruminants in the hills of Nepal and maintained at the Agriculture Research Station
(Goat), Bandipur were investigated for there chemical composition, and nutrient intake,
digestibility, and growth rate in growing female goats. Differences occurred between species
of tree fodders on nutrient composition, which contained 286, 342, 312, and 263 g/kg DM;
174, 98, 116 and 178 g/kg total ash; 137, 163, 140, and 119 g/kg CP; 440, 458, 437, and 451

20.9, and 29.3 g/kg Ca; and 2.2, 2.8, 2.4, and 2.5 g/kg P on DM basis for AL, BP, GP, and
FR, respectively. The DM intake was higher for goats fed AL (432 g/d) and GP (428 g/d)
than BP (342 g/d) or FR (306 g/d). Nutrient digestibility was higher for goats fed AL and
GP, except Ca, which was higher for goats fed FR. Similarly, highest daily weight gain was
observed for goats fed AL (71 g/d) and GP (64 g/d) than either of BP (54 g/d) or FR (30
g/d). Overall, leaves and twigs from these tree fodders supported moderate growth, but may
not be advisable for maximum production.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=33

Title : Use of Rice Straw and Black Gram Straw in Fodder Based Goat's Diets in the Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: Chet R. Upreti, Author ; Kuwar, Bahadur Singh, Author ; Panday, S.B., Author Publication Date: 2007 Article on page: 82-87 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Average daily weight gain, black gram straw, fodder tree foliage, rice straw,stall-feeding Abstract: The aim of this study was to investigate the possible use of crop residue such as rice straw
and black gram straw (Kushauro) in hill goats’ diet. Twenty male and female goats of age 6-
9 months were divided into 4 dietary groups. Animal of first diet groups (D1) were fed with
fodder leaves (Khanyu) only, second diet group (D2) with 20% rice straw + fodder tree
foliage, third diet group (D3) with 20% rice straw + fodder tree foliage + concentrate @ 1%
of body weight, and fourth diet group (D4) fodder tree foliage + 15% rice straw + 5% black
gram straw + concentrate @ 1% of body weight meet to the daily requirement. These rations
were fed to animals of individual diet group for 150 days. Daily feed intake, daily weight
change was recorded. Body weight was taken at the beginning of the experiment, at the end
of experiment and 15 days interval. The result showed that there was significant difference
(P was observed in D3 (19.6±4.33), followed by D2 (12.67±1.38 g/d) and D4 (11.73±1.78 g/d).
The lowest ADG was found in D1 (10.8±1.87 g/d). The result indicated that 20% rice straw
can be used in goat diet with supplementary diet of concentrate @ 1% of body weight, and
foliage of Khanyu as a basal diet. Feeding only fodder tree foliage is not suitable to get
higher ADG in stall-feeding management.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=32
