Title : Effect of Different Concentrates and Forage Feeding on Growth & Fibre Production Performance of Rabbit Material Type: printed text Authors: BK Shrestha, Author ; PR Regmi, Author ; CR Upreti, Author ; Neupane, D., Author ; T. Dhaubadel, Author Pagination: 241-246 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: In this experiment, 15 German mixed bunnies (male & female) of 7 to 9 months of age were divided into 5
dietary groups comprising of 3 rabbits in each. The experiment was conducted for 157 days during the
winter-spring season in 2005. Animals of first diet group (D1) were fed with Hetaunda cattle feed + adlib
green grass, second diet group (D2) consisted of wheat bran + adlib green grass, third diet group (D3) had
rice bran + ad lib green grass, fourth diet group (D4) consisted of maize + adlib green grasses, and fifth diet
group (Ds) had mixed concentrate + adlib green grass. A digestibility trial for 7 day was carried out at the
end of experiment. Daily feed intake, and urine and faeces excreted by the animals were recorded. Body
weight change was recorded at 15 days interval. Feed intake in all dietary groups was not significantly
different. The average daily gain (ADG) was not significantly different as well. However, the ADG was the
highest with D3 (6.58 g/d) numerically. The lowest ADG was recorded with Dt (2.97) with lower
digestibility Co-efficient (58.11 %). Higher CP, ADF & NDF digestibility was recorded in D2 group. Feed
conversion ratio (FCR) was the best in Diet 3 ( 16.29). Fibre production was significantly higher (p<0.05) in
D5 (385±84) Fibre production was higher in Diet 5. From this evidence, it cam be suggested that D3 that
include rice bran in the diet as concentrate feed could be used for rabbit feeding as this diet group had
highest ADG, FCR lowest DMI and better digestibility ofCP,NDF and ADF.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=339 Effect of Different Concentrates and Forage Feeding on Growth & Fibre Production Performance of Rabbit [printed text] / BK Shrestha, Author ; PR Regmi, Author ; CR Upreti, Author ; Neupane, D., Author ; T.

Title : Effect of Level of Roughage and Rice Bran on the Growth Performance on Rabbit Material Type: printed text Authors: CR Upreti, Author ; T. Dhaubadel, Author ; Neupane, D., Author ; BK Shrestha, Author Pagination: 247-255 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: In this experiment, 16 Germany mixed bunny (male & female) rabbits of about 2 months of age were
divided into 4 dietary groups comprising of four bunnies in each. The Experiment was divided into 2 phases
and conducted for 91 days. First phase was for 42 day and the second phase for 49 days. In first phase,
animals of first diet group (01) were fed with 40% concentrate HCF plus 60% roughage (80% oat rye grass
kikyu and 20% clover), second diet group (02) consisted of 40% concentrate (20% RB in concentrate
mixture) plus 60% roughage (80% oat or rye grass or kikuyu and 20% clover) of total dry matter required,
third diet group (03) had 40% concentrate (40% RB in concentrate mixture) plus 60% roughage (80% oat,
rye grass, kikuyu, & 20% clover), and diet group 4 (04) consisted 40% concentrate (60% RB in concentrate
mixture) plus 60% green roughs (80% oat, or rye grass or kikuyu, and 20% clover) of total dry matter
required . In second phase, same rabbits from phase 151 were used for 49 day of experimental period.
Animals of first diet group (01) were fed with 40% HCF plus 60% roughage (80% oat or rye grass or kikyu,
and 20% white clover) of total dry matter required. Second diet group (02) consisted· of 40% concentrate
mixture containing 40% RB plus 60% roughage (80% oat or rye grass or kikuyu, and 20% white clover) of
total OM required, third diet group (03) had 50% concentrate mixture containing 40% RB, plus 50 roughage
(80% oat or rye grass or kikuyu, and 20% clover), and diet group 4 (D4) consisted of 60% roughage (80%
oat or rye grass or kikuyu, and 20% white clover). A digestibility trial for 7 day was carried out at the end of
the experiment. Daily feed intake, and urine and faeces excreted by the animals were recorded. Body weight
change was recorded at 7 day interval. In first phase the average daily weight gain was not significantly
different (p>0.05) between diet groups. Growth performance of o1 and 0 4 was almost similar which
indicated that inclusion of rice bran @ 60% in concentrate mixture is possible. Economically, D4 had
highest economic return and net income was in increasing order as the level of RB in concentrate was
increase (20, 40 and 60%). In second phase, the average daily weight gain was highest in 04 which contains
60% co~centrate .<Of 40% RB) that was superior to produce more meat them other dietary group. Feed

Title : Nutritional Status of Animal Feeds and Fodder in Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: CR Upreti, Author ; BK Shrestha, Author Pagination: 256 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: A compilation was done to find out the nutritional status of feeds and fodder available in different agroecological
zone of Nepal. Information on the nutritive value of feedstuff analyzed over the past 25 years was
compiled and categorically grouped on the basis of nutrient content such as DM, CP, NDF, ADF, Ca, and P,
and also on the basis of polyphenolics (anti-nutrient factors) such as lignin and tannin. Total 318 fodder
trees, tree fodder and climbers species, 99 local cereal grass and legumes species, 50 improved grasses and
legumes species, 14 crop-residues of different cereal and legume crops, 62 species of non-conventional
feedstuff, 42 feed ingredients of different plants and animal species, 60 commercially prepared compounded
feeds from different feed companies were statistically summarized on the basis of their nutrient content and
chemical composition. Compiled records indicated that majority of feeds and fodders (about 80 %) were
moderate to CP content (10.01 to 19.99 %), and only abo.ut 10% were inferior that content less than 10
crude protein. Likewise, about 74% fodder tree and shrubs were moderate, 40.01 to 60·% NDF, in terms of
feeding value and about 17% were in low quality. Only 18 %fodder trees contained low% of lignin and 27
% were low in quality. Among the analyzed sample, 84.51 % were good in quality which contains less than
5% tannin. Fodder trees, shrub and climber were good source of calcium. 67% moderate to high). Fodder
trees were poor in phosphorus content (97.44% contained less than 0.5 %). In this study, about 37.71 %of
local grass and legume recorded to contain more than 25 %v OM, 50% were moderate i.e. 15 to 20% and
15% were low in OM content. Locally available grasses and legume (54.54 %) recorded tow CP content.
Higher percent of grasses and legume (73.49%) recorded moderate in NDF. About 60% legumes and grasses
recorded high ADF contents. Only about 26% species contained high lignin (>20%) content. More than 97%
species recorded low calcium content. Concentrate ingredients recorded as good source of CP (.96%
moderate to high). but ingredient species were low in Ca (89%) and P (89% content (less than 2.0). More
than 53% crop residue content 5% CP and about 31% content less than 4 Percent. Residue were less
lignified with non of residue had more than 20% ADL. Residue recorded very low content of calcium but
phosphorus was similar to tree foliage and grass. Nutritional content of non-conventional feed resources
were also compiled.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=341 Nutritional Status of Animal Feeds and Fodder in Nepal [printed text] / CR Upreti, Author ; BK Shrestha, Author . - [s.d.] . - 256 p.

Title : Study On Constraints And Potential Of Bhy Anglung Sheep Production For Carpet Production Material Type: printed text Authors: CR Upreti, Author ; BK Shrestha, Author Pagination: 165-171 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: In this study attempt was made to study on the constraints and potential of Bhyanglung sheep production for
carpet production. Study was done during 2062/63 in Jumla district. Existing situation of livestock
production, feed availability, nutrient contents of feedstuff available at Jumla was studied. Study indicated
that adequate pastureland is available and about 36% of total land (66.225 ha) could be used for grazing and
major part of forest land (37%- 94369 h) could also be used as a cheaper source of feed stuffto the animals.
Total 30-pasture ranges land were available for free grazing to ruminant particularly for 52913 sheep, 69052
goats, 3407 buffaloes, 64284 cattle, and 337 Yak. Fodder available is adequate to maintain. Available feed
resources is adequate to maintain 8647427 livestock units. Fodder available in Jumla recorded high(> 10%
CP), to moderate (5-99.99 CP%) in terms of CP contents of more then 67 percent. Apple by-products were
nutritionally moderate (5-9.99% CP) in protein content. Available feed record showed the adequate feedstuff
to raise the Bhyanglung sheep including the existing sheep population in the district provided if it is
conserved for winter-feeding.
It was realized that suitability of Bhyauglung sheep in the southern slop of Himalayas and their crossbred to
be evaluated properly which is initiated at SGRP Guthichaur, Jumla.Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=294 Study On Constraints And Potential Of Bhy Anglung Sheep Production For Carpet Production [printed text] / CR Upreti, Author ; BK Shrestha, Author . - [s.d.] . - 165-171 p.
