carried out across four locations of Dhankuta, Terhathum and II am districts through a semistructured
questionnaire that encompasses principally the production and marketing
parameters.

Title : Bamboo as Import Ant Feed for Ruminants in the Eastern Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: DB Subba, Author ; SK Singh, Author Pagination: 140-144 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Bamboos have multi;..purpose use and are distributed throughout all ecological zone~ in
Nepal. They are the most popular in the day to day life of the rural people from housmg.,
furnishing, fencing, fuel wood to the use of animal feed. Although, the farmers
perception as a fodder in some parts of west Nepal is different, bamboos are extremely
popular as a nutritious fodder in the rural communities of the eastern hills of Nepal. In
most areas in the eastern hills, they are the most important source of gre.en fodder
particularly during the dry winter season.
A total of 9 different bamboo species commonly available in Dhankuta district was
collected during spring, pre-monsoon, monsoon and winter seasons for analyses of
nutrient contents. The chemical analyses revealed that bamboo leaves can supply dry
matter 44-51%, nitrogen free extractives 40-47%, crude protein 15-21%, total available
protein 11-18%, digestible organic matter 50-57%. neutral cellulase digestibility 45-58%
and metabolisable energy 7.5-8.6 MJ/KgDM The rumen degradable protein supply at
72-hrs incubation period was ranged from 53 to 67%. The mature or old leaves of
bamboos were found to supply Ca 0.31-0.72%. p 0.18-0.23%, K 1.16-1.53%, Mg 0.13-
0.28%, Cu 2.71-5.48ppm, Fe 185-363ppm, Mn 150-245ppm and Zn 24-71ppm in the d?
matter. The relative high content of available protein and higher dry matter content. m
comparison with tree fodders underline the considerable potential of bamboo as a feedmg
stufffor livestock. Based on the analytical findings, this report discusses the usefulness of
bamboos as an important feed supplement for ruminants.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=391 Bamboo as Import Ant Feed for Ruminants in the Eastern Hills of Nepal [printed text] / DB Subba, Author ; SK Singh, Author . - [s.d.] . - 140-144 p.

Title : Predictability of Digestibility (Neutral Cellulase Digestibility) from Other Simple Chemical Parameters Material Type: printed text Authors: DB Subba, Author Pagination: 119-126 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Digestibility is one of the most important quality attributes to determine nutritive values
of animal feed. In-vivo digestibility experiments are expensive, often tedious and time
consuming in nature. Hence simple methods that could give rapid estimate of quality of
feed for ruminant animals are often desirable to extensionists or animal productionists
where information on the quality of feed are immediately required. In this perspective, a
total of 8 different species/sub-species of common fodder trees were collected during
winter (when the species are actually fed) from Solma Village Development Committee
(VDC) in the middle hills of east Nepal. The samples were collected in duplicates from six
different wards within the VDCs. Thus a total of 96 fresh samples were brought to the
Agricultural Research Station, Pakhribas (ARS-P) laboratory for analysis of a range of
chemical constituents. Based on the laboratory analyses, the study attempted to explore
various combinations of simple quality attributes e.g. proximate principles including
fibrous fractions to give a robust relationship so that the Neutral Cellulase Digestibility
(NCD) could be predicted effectively. The equations predictable for NCD at r_easonable
degree of accuracy are presented and discussed for use in a routine service laboratory
for rapid evaluation of ruminant feeding-stuffLink for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=388 Predictability of Digestibility (Neutral Cellulase Digestibility) from Other Simple Chemical Parameters [printed text] / DB Subba, Author . - [s.d.] . - 119-126 p.
