The study was carried out to evaluate the feed consumption and performance of five coloured types of chickens reared under intensive system in the hot and humid climate conditions. The growth parameters like body weight, feed consumption, and feed conversion ratio of the coloured birds like Aseel, Dahlem Red, Kaveri, Kadaknath and Rhode Island Red were studied in the intensive conditions. Carcass characteristics, incidence of mortality and cost of production of different types of coloured chicken were measured. Kaveri showed the highest body weight gain and Kadaknath the lowest (P≤0.05) among the five types and the sequence found was: Kaveri>Dahlem Red>RIR>Assel and Kadaknath. Feed conversion ratio followed the order: Kadaknath/RIR/Dahlem Red> Aseel>Kaveri, the differences being significant (P≤0.05). The mortality rate was highest for Rhode Island Red (20%) followed by Dahlem Red (10%), Kaveri/Kadaknath (8%) and Aseel (2%). The dressing percentage was higher in Rhode Island Red, Kaveri and Dalhem Red than Assel and Kadaknath. Some other carcass parameters like back, thigh and drum stick yield percentage also differed significantly among the types of chicken. The cost of production per kg live weight or per kg dressed weight was the lowest for Kaveri and highest for Kadaknath. From the above experiment it was concluded that Kaveri excelled the other colored chicken type in respect to the body weight gain, feed efficiency followed by RIR, Dahlem Red and Aseel.
本试验旨在评价在湿热气候条件下集约化饲养的5种有色鸡的饲料消耗和生产性能。在集约化条件下，研究了色鸟Aseel、Dahlem Red、Kaveri、Kadaknath和Rhode Island Red的体重、饲料消耗量和饲料系数等生长参数。测定了不同品种彩色鸡的胴体特性、死亡率和生产成本。5个品种中，Kaveri的体增重最高，Kadaknath的体增重最低(P≤0.05)，顺序为:Kaveri>Dahlem Red>RIR>Assel和Kadaknath。饲料系数为:Kadaknath/RIR/Dahlem Red> Aseel>Kaveri，差异显著(P≤0.05)。死亡率最高的是罗德岛红(20%)，其次是达勒姆红(10%)，Kaveri/Kadaknath(8%)和Aseel(2%)。罗德岛红、卡韦里红和达勒姆红的屠宰率高于阿塞尔红和卡达纳特红。不同类型鸡的背肉、大腿肉和腿肉产出率等其他胴体参数也存在显著差异。Kaveri的每公斤活重和每公斤屠宰重的生产成本最低，而Kadaknath最高。综上所述，在增重和饲料效率方面，卡韦里鸡优于其他有色鸡品种，其次是RIR、达勒姆红和阿赛尔鸡。

The present investigation studies the effect of ascorbic acid (AA) and alpha-tocopherol supplementation on plasma corticosterone and production performance of broilers. 84 day-old broiler birds were randomly assigned into seven groups of 12 each, namely G 1 , G 2 ,G 3 ,G 4 ,G 5 ,G 6 and G 7 maintained at 26±1.0°C. G 1 group was taken as control, whereas G 2 , G 3 and G 4 groups were fed 100 mg/kg feed, 200 mg/kg and 300 mg/kg of ascorbic acid respectively with basal diet. Similarly, basal diet was supplemented with 100, 200 and 300 mg/kg of alpha-tocopherol in groups G5, G 6 and G 7, respectively. Weekly record of feed intake was made for six weeks. Body weight, and feed efficiency ratio was recorded at 1st, 3 rd and 6 th week. Lower (P<0.05) plasma corticosterone levels were recorded on supplementation of 200 mg and 300 mg of ascorbic acid and alpha-tocopherol respectively. Feed intake was significantly higher (P<0.05) in supplemented groups as compared to control. Body weight gain and FER was significantly higher (P<0.05) in groups supplemented with ascorbic acid at 200 mg/kg feed and alpha-tocopherol at 300 mg/kg. l. Therefore, it is concluded that supplementation of 200 mg/kg ascorbic acid and 300mg/kg of alpha tocopherol improve performance of commercial broilers.

The aim of the present experiment was to assess the potential of rice bran crude lecithin (RBCL) as an alternative energy source in the diet of growing cattle. Two experiment was conducted: in the first experiment total gas and methane production along with digestibility of dry and organic matter was measured in vitro ; in the second experiment two different experimental levels of RBCL was tested on eighteen crossbred calves. Six substrate comprising of either 0 (T 1 ), 4 (T 2 ), 8 (T 3 ), 12 (T 4 ), 16 ( 5 ) or 20 (T 6 ) % RBCL, replacing equal amount of maize grain of control were tested. Response criteria during in vitro evaluation was gas and methane production, and digestibility of dry matter and organic matter. During the second experiment, eighteen crossbred calves were randomly distributed into three groups of six each in an experiment based on completely randomized design. Calves of control group (GI) were fed a standard dietary concentrate and wheat straw to meet their nutrient requirements (ICAR, 2013). However, 8 and 12% of maize of the concentrate mixture of control group was replaced with RBCL in groups GII and GIII, respectively. The net gas production and methane production (ml/200mg), in vitro true dry matter and organic matter digestibility (%) decreased (P 0.05) among the groups. Although body weight gain apparently seemed to decrease with increased levels of RBCL values were comparable among the groups. Clinical chemistry profile was comparable among the groups. It was concluded that RCBL can replace up to 12% of maize grain of the concentrate mixture without any adverse impact on plane of nutrition, clinical chemistry and performance of crossbred calves.

The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of different processing techniques on nutritive value and to determine appropriate inclusion level of soy nuggets (SN) in dog food. Standardized diets were subjected to different processing techniques viz. raw, boiling and extrusion. The in-vitro study was performed with two incubation stages, with gastric phase of 2 hours in the presence of pepsin, gastric lipase in HCl solution, and intestinal phase of 4 h in presence of pancreatin and bile salts in buffer solution. Data analysis revealed that extrusion improved (P<0.01) in-vitro nutrient digestibility and the best (P<0.01) response was observed in diets having 5% SN containing extruded dog food. Maximum (P<0.01) dry matter digestibility and organic matter digestibility was observed in extruded diet; No significant difference (P<0.01) was observed in crude protein digestibility at 5% SN supplementation. However, with 10% and 15% SN supplementation, no significant difference (P<0.01) was observed in raw and boiled diets, but crude protein digestibility increased (P<0.01) with extrusion as compared to raw and boiled diets. Ether extract digestibility decreased (P<0.01) in boiled diet at all the levels of SN supplementation. Irrespective of processing techniques, level of SN supplementation had shown non-significant difference in nutrient digestibility but the extent was lesser than no supplementation. It was concluded that SN can safely be included in dog diet at 5% level.

An experiment was conducted to ascertain the effect of active dry yeast (ADY) on the performances, nutrients digestibility and rumen metabolite profile in Surti goat kids. Sixteen male castrated Surti goat kids of average BW 7.53±0.08 (4-month-old) were randomly assigned to one of the two different groups with eight animals each. ADY ( Saccharomyces Cerevisiae CNCM I-1077) was supplemented in one experimental group at the rate of 2 % of dry matter intake (DMI) (~ 10 g) for a period of 120 days including 6 days period of digestibility trial. At the end of the experiment, rumen liquor was collected from all animals 4 hours post feeding to assess for fermentation metabolites. There was a significant improvement (P < 0.05) in final body weight, dry matter intake, feed to body weight gain ratio and digestibility of nutrients except ether extract in ADY supplemented group as compared to non-supplemented group. ADY supplementation significantly increased (P < 0.05) the ruminal pH, TVFA and TCA precipitated nitrogen with a decreased concentration of ammonia and lactic acid in the ruminal fluid. It was concluded that supplementation of ADY ( S. Cerevisiae CNCM I-1077) at 2% of DMI is beneficial in terms of performances, nutrient digestibility and rumen fermentation characteristics in Surti goat kids.
