Forage based fattening of male goat / J Banjade    

Public ISBD in Agricultural Research for Development: Proceedings of fourth SAS-N Convention, 4-6 April 2012, Lalitpur / Hira K. Manandhar     Title : Forage based fattening of male goat Material Type: printed text Authors: J Banjade, Author ; R Ghimire, Author ; Chet M G.C, Author ; N Gautam, Author Pagination: 251-255 p. Languages : English (eng) Abstract: An experiment on forage based fattening of male goats was conducted at livestock farm of Regional Agriculture Research Station, NARC, Khajura, Banke for a period of 89 days in the year 2011. The treatments comprised of T1: Commercial concentrate feed @1% of the body weight/day with conventional grazing practice, T2: 25% rice straw, 37.5% Tanki fodder, 37.5% oat and 100 g concentrate per day, T3: 25% rice straw, 37.5% berseem, 37.5% oat and 100 g concentrate per day, and T4: 25% rice straw, 25% Tanki, 25% oat, 25% berseem, and 100 g concentrate per day. Daily feed intake and weight of the animals were taken at beginning and on every 15 days intervals and also at the end of experiment. The results showed that the total body weight gain and average daily body weight gain were significantly different (P 0.05) between different treatment groups. The average daily weight gain was found highest in T1 (63.77 g) followed by T4 (58.99 g), T3 (43.12 g) and lowest in T2 (35.68 g). Whereas, the net return per animal was found highest in T4 group. The results indicated that 25% rice straw along with oat, berseem, Tanki and concentrate 100g/day can be used in stall feeding management.

Graham’s Colorimetry as an estimate of Soil Organic Carbon in Chitwan Valley Soils, Nepal / R Ghimire    

Public ISBD in Agricultural research for poverty alleviation and livelihood enhancement. Proceedings of the 3rd SAS-N Convention 27-29 August 2008, Lalitpur / Paudyal, Krishna Prasad     Title : Graham’s Colorimetry as an estimate of Soil Organic Carbon in Chitwan Valley Soils, Nepal Material Type: printed text Authors: R Ghimire, Author ; S.C Shah, Author ; K.R Dahal, Author ; J.G Lauren, Author ; Adhikari, C., Author Pagination: 405-409 p. Languages : English (eng) Keywords: Colorimetric  method,  dry  combustion,  soil  organic  matters,  texture Abstract: Soil organic carbon (SOC) influences soil physical and chemical processes, and serves as repository source of plant nutrients. Limited information is available concerning SOC status of different layers in Nepalese soils. Two hundred soil samples from five different soil depths (0-5, 5-10, 10-15, 15-30 and 30-50 cm) of Rampur and Baireni, were analyzed to evaluate the precision of Graham’s colorimetric method of SOC analysis. The SOC values obtained from Graham’s colorimetric method were compared with dry combustion SOC values for the same soil samples……………… Link for e-copy: http://elibrary.narc.gov.np/?r=1562 in Agricultural research for poverty alleviation and livelihood enhancement.
