Title : Bhyanglung Sheep Production System In Manang And Mustang Districts Of Western Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: MR Tiwari, Author ; PB Chapagain, Author ; Basnet, R., Author ; N Kusum, Author Pagination: 157-164 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Surveys were carried out in the different VDCs of Manang and Mustang districts to identify the existing
production system of Bhyanglung sheep. A total of 22 farmers in Mustang and 15 farmers in Manang
district who have been involving in Bhyanglung sheep rearing were interviewed on existing production and
reproduction performances, feeding situation, and marketing system ofBhyanglung sheep. Similarly, 45 and
40 (male and female) were measured for their morphological characteristics in Mustang and Manang
districts respectively. Survey revealed that average population of sheep per household was 84.5±21.45 and
8.0 -±1.47 for Mustang and Manang district, respectively. In both districts sheep population was found in
declining trend due to lack of pasture market problem of wool, restriction on movement of the flocks with
the Chinese occupation of Tibet and sheepherding problem, internal and external parasite burden and
diseases. Average birth weight, 61h month weight, yearling weight and adult weight of male and female was
recorded 1.71 ± 0.15, 0.98 ± 0.02, 13.66 ± 0.49, 11.83 ± 0.60, 18.3 ± 1.53, 15.4 ± 1.05, and 27.9 ± 2.23,
23.6 ± 2.29 kg in Mustang district, respectively. Likewise, average birth weight, 6th month weight, yearling
weight and adult weight of male and female was recorded 2.62 ± 0.23, 2.25 ± 0.023, 9.75 ± 3.32, 8.75 ±
3.03, 17.3 ± 4.38, 16 ± 4.83, and 25.5 ± 3.32, 23.5 ± 3.84 kg for Manang district, respectively. There was
highly significant {P<O.OOl) difference in birth weight between sex and districts. Average annual wool
production of individuals (male and female) was noted to be 1.21 ±1.06, 0.7 ± 0.8 kg and l.l ± 1.25g, 0.85
± 0.22 kg in Mustang and Manang district, respectively which and was found significant difference
~P=0.008) on sex. The average age of first service, weight at first service, lambing percentage and kidding
mterval was found to be 12 ± 1.83 months, 10 ± 2.65 months, 15 ± 4.72 kg, 15 ± 4.54 kg, 74.6 ± 4.2 %, 95
± 4.04 % and 7 ± 0.1 months, 6.5 ± 0.1 months for Mustang and Manang districts, respectively.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=293 Bhyanglung Sheep Production System In Manang And Mustang Districts Of Western Nepal [printed text] / MR Tiwari, Author ; PB Chapagain, Author ; Basnet, R., Author ; N Kusum, Author . - [s.d.] . - 157-164 p.

Title : Digestibility Of Ficus Roxburghd, Castanopsis Indica And Ficus Cunia On Growing Buffalo From Western Hills Of Nepal. Material Type: printed text Authors: NP Osti, Author ; PB Chapagain, Author ; MR Tiwari, Author Pagination: 233-237 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Nine buffalo calves were subjected to three fodder tree species namely; Nimaro (Ficus roxburghii), Dhalne
Katus (Castanopsis indica) and Rai Khanyu (Ficus cunia) for digestibility trial during November 27 to
December 3, 2005 in Regional Agricultural Research Station (RARS), Lumle, Kaski Nepal. Animals were
kept 7 days prior to adaptation for these fodders. Weighed amount of fodder tree leaves including twigs and
small branches were fed two times a day and observation on fodder offered, refused and faeces voided were
recorded daily. Chemical composition of fresh matter and faeces voided were carried out for dry matter
(OM), crude protein (CP), neutral detergent fibre (NDF), acid detergent fibre (ADF), lignin, calcium (Ca)
and phosphorous (P). The mean OM content and their dry matter digestibility (DMD) of these three fodder
tree species were found 27.86, 46.02, 34.72, 73.21, 65.93 and 71.28 percent respectively. There were strong
negative correlations observed between Ca. and CP with fibre fraction (NDF and ADF). The weak
correlation was also observed between P and other constituents with respect to digestibility of constituents.
From the results, if there could be provision of low fibre content in dry season, the three main nutrients (Ca,
P and CP) may easily be absorbed by the animals.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=311 Digestibility Of Ficus Roxburghd, Castanopsis Indica And Ficus Cunia On Growing Buffalo From Western Hills Of Nepal.

Title : Understanding of Potential and Critical Constraints to Marketing of Goats in the Western Hills of Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: MB Nepali, Author ; MR Tiwari, Author ; S Sapkota, Author ; BR Acharya, Author ; S Gautam, Author ; KR Joshi, Author ; S Amatya, Author Pagination: 333-348 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: Goat production and marketing study was conducted in eleven western hill districts. Most of the goat raising
farmers, middlemen and wholesalers explained that there is lack of goat marketing centres either in the
VDCs level or in district headquarters I municipalities of the western hills of Nepal. Some of the market
channels are the village level markets, catchments markets, terminal markets and district headquarters I
municipalities markets. There are some marketing agents dealing with goat marketing from villages to
municipalities. Goat marketing agents mainly found farmers and middlemen at the village level and
catchments markets. In terminal markets, mainly wholesalers and middlemen were involved whereas in
district headquarters and municipalities the middlemen, wholesalers and butchers were dealing the goat
business. The results revealed that 59.3% respondents believe middlemen visit in the village for goat
marketing. Almost all farmers sell their goats on the basis of estimated price. Major constraints on goat
marketing were lack of public goat marketing centres, lack of communications about goat marketing and
lack of infrastructure etc. in all domestic markets. In the western hills of Nepal main goat marketing centre
was found in Pokhara sub-municipality where traders 1 whole sellers bring their goats to sale from different
catchments. Based on the survey in II districts, the average share of goat in the total household income was
found to be 11 %.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=366 Understanding of Potential and Critical Constraints to Marketing of Goats in the Western Hills of Nepal [printed text] / MB Nepali, Author ; MR Tiwari, Author ; S Sapkota, Author ; BR Acharya, Author ; S Gautam, Author ; KR Joshi, Author ; S Amatya, Author . - [s.d.] . - 333-348 p.
