Languages : English (eng) Abstract: The cattle and buffalo related research undertaken by the Bovine Research Program during the year 1995 to 2006 were assessed in terms of types of projects, major findings and financial performance. Out of 31 research projects implemented in the last decade, 6l.3% were of annual nature followed by the bi-annual and tri-annual projects ( 16.1 %) and the remaining 6.5% were long term projects running every year from the beginning. In case of commodity wise allocation of projects, majority (77.4%) were on cattle and 22.6% on buffalo. The station based research outplayed the on-farm study accounting 71% against the 29%. So far the discipline specificity of accomplished research is concerned, majority (29%) were on feeds and feeding followed by 19.3% on milk production and processing, 16.1% on livestock production and management and 12.9% related with technology verification. Furthermore, 9.7% projects were on system studies and 6.5% on draught power. Different recommendations were made on bovine farming of which, some are already verified and adapted successfully in the farming communities while other need further up-scaling and dissemination. Unpredictable budget sanctioning and even uncertainty about the release of approved budget was the common financial phenomena constraining efficient project implementation. On the other hand, overall performance on utilization of operational bud (Jet was also found poor especially in the T ADA, books and journal and farm maintenance subheads. A total of Rs 10.89 million have been generated through the revenue ~ccounting almost 50% of the operational budget that is actually expensed (Rs 22.18 million). Meanwhile, 316 calves and 602 tons of milk were produced averaging 29 calves and 55 tons of milk per year contributing mainly to the overall revenue generated by the program.

Study On the Performances Of Dairy Crossbred Cattle On Different Feeding Regimes / SM Pradhan ; MS Thapa ; KP Shivakoti

Public ISBD in Proceedings of the 7th (seventh) National Workshop on Livestock and Fisheries Research, June 22-27, 2007 / Shrestha, B.S.     Title : Study On the Performances Of Dairy Crossbred Cattle On Different Feeding Regimes Material Type: printed text Authors: SM Pradhan, Author ; MS Thapa, Author ; KP Shivakoti, Author Pagination: 238-240 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: This study was conducted to find out the appropriate feeding regime for crossbred (Nepali X Jersey) cattle at Khumaltar. Three different daily rations were formulated based on their body weight. The treatments were i) Tl = 2/3 DM requirement from green roughage (Oat)+ 1/3 DM requirement from concentrate mixture, ii) T2 = 2/3 DM requirement from roughage (50% green oat + 50% rice straw) + 1/3 DM requirement from concentrate mixture and iii) T3 = 2/3 DM requirement from roughage ( rice straw) + 1/3 DM requirement from concentrate mixture. The study was conducted in crossover design with three cows as one replicate for three weeks. After third week the animals were changed to next treatment group. One week adaptation period was provided for the next treatment. No significant differences (P>0.05) in milk yield were observed among three different treatment though the average milk yield in Tl (6.3 1/d) was higher than in T2 and T3 (5.4 and 4.5 1/d). On feed cost basis per liter milk production cost from Tl (Rs. ·12.03) was the cheapest. in Proceedings of the 7th (seventh) National Workshop on Livestock and Fisheries Research, June 22-27, 2007 / Shrestha, B.S.     Study On the Performances Of Dairy Crossbred Cattle On Different Feeding Regimes [printed text] / SM Pradhan, Author ; MS Thapa, Author ; KP Shivakoti, Author . - [s.d.] . - 238-240 p.
