S. Thapa, Author Pagination: 214-220 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Eight cross bred Murrah male calves of approximately 2 years of age were grouped into_ nvo groups. Animals of one group ·were fed commercial concentrate mixture in addition to mixed green grasses for 135 days. The average body weight gain of concentrate fed animals ·was 389. 0 glday compared to 3-1.0 glday for the group without feeding concentrate. There ·was no significant effect on carcass characteristics ben-veen diet groups. However. the dressing percentage in concentrate fed group was higher than in the group without concentrate {.:/2.1±1.8 l'S 32.9±1.8) in Proceedings of third national workshop on livestock and fisheries research in Nepal (held from 26 to 28 June 1999 at Agriculture Research Station, Lumle) / Neopane, S.P.     EFFECT OF CONCENTRATE FEEDING ON MEAT PRODUCTION OF MALE BUFFALO CALVES [printed text] / Shrestha, H.R., Author ; Kuwar, B.S., Author ; M.

Effect Of Early Weaning On The Growth Rate Of Male Buffalo Calves / K. P. Shiwakoti ; Shrestha, H.R. ; M. S. Thapa ; B. B. Gurung 

Public ISBD in Proceedings: 5th national workshop on livestock and fisheries research in Nepal 10-11 July 2002 / Rai, Ash Kumar     Title : Effect Of Early Weaning On The Growth Rate Of Male Buffalo Calves Material Type: printed text Authors: K. P. Shiwakoti, Author ; Shrestha, H.R., Author ; M. S. Thapa, Author ; B. B. Gurung, Author Pagination: 79-81 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Production system of buffalo is different from place to place. In some places, Farmers provide one teat to the calf for whole lactation. Whereas in some places, for the male calves either they thrown away or keep in force mortality management system for more milk production. In both the cases there is economic losses. So this study was conducted to find out the effect of early weaning in the growth rate of buffalo Calves. From the study on the growth rate of male buffalo calves up to the age of 18 months, it was found that weaning at 3 months of age is more effective in comparison to other male calves group of 4 months, 5 months and 6 months over. It sholl'ed that it is not necessmy to provide one teat suckling for whole lactation. Af."'r three months of lactation more milk could be saved for human consumption. It could meet the cost of feed plus economy benefit. In other hand those who throw away the male cah es or keep in forced mortality for more milk production can be raised for meat production or fattening without any reduction on milk production. in Proceedings: 5th national workshop on livestock and fisheries research in Nepal 10-11 July 2002 / Rai, Ash Kumar     Effect Of Early Weaning On The Growth Rate Of Male Buffalo Calves [printed text] / K.

Response of urea mineral molasses block licks on milk production in lactating crossbred cattle / P Mandai    

Public ISBD in Proceedings of the 3rd national animal science convention; theme environmentally sustainable livestock production for poverty alleviation / Sherchand, Laxman     Title : Response of urea mineral molasses block licks on milk production in lactating crossbred cattle Material Type: printed text Authors: P Mandai ; Kuwar, B.S., Author ; Shrestha, H.R., Author ; M. S. Thapa, Author Publisher: Kathmandu : Nepal Animal Science Association (NASA) Publication Date: 1997 Pagination: 85-89 .p Keywords: Animal  production;  Pasture;  Feed  crops;  nutrition;  breeding;  Fisheries;  Livestock Abstract: The present study was conducted to overcome the drawbacks encountered through licking of urea mineral molasses block .Six recently calved lactating crossbred cattle with similar parity were divided into two groups comprising three in each group. With similar management system and feeding regime, one group was given Urea Mineral Molasses Block (UMMB) by partially replacing concentrate mixture and another group was fed with calculated concentrate mixture (control) for a period of 150 days to find out the response of  UMMB in milk production. The result showed that the milk yield of UMMB fed animal was significantly different (P<O.05) than that of control group. Similarly, a positive correlation (r=0.42) was found between the UMMB intake and milk production.       Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=541 in Proceedings of the 3rd national animal science convention; theme environmentally sustainable livestock production for poverty alleviation / Sherchand, Laxman     Response of urea mineral molasses block licks on milk production in lactating crossbred cattle [printed text] / P Mandai ; Kuwar, B.S., Author ; Shrestha, H.R., Author ; M.
