Poultry waste in the form of poultry carcass (including feathers) and litter manure was used for this study. Four treatment groups with four replicates each were formulated as: G1: Poultry carcass; litter manure, G2: Poultry carcass; litter manure; Paddy straw, G3: Poultry carcass; litter manure; effective microbes (Lactobacillus plantarum, Lactobacillus casei, Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Rhodopseudomonas palustris) and G4: Poultry carcass; litter manure; Paddy straw; effective microbes. During the primary stage of composting the group G4 had attained a significantly (P<0.05) highest peak temperature (0C) of 59.0±5.04 and 59.50±5.04 respectively during winter and summe...

Raw and processed silkworm pupae meal (w/w) replaced fishmeal in a standard broiler diet at 0, 25 and 50% levels. Each of the five diets was fed ad lib to 5 groups of broiler chicks housed on deep litter system from 2nd to 5th week of age. Broiler chicks fed diets containing raw SWPM replaced at 25 and 50% levels with fishmeal showed a reduction (P<0.05) in the body weight gain. However, birds fed the processed SWPM at both 25 and 50% levels showed an increase (P<0.05) in body weight gain, which was comparable with the control diet. There was no significant difference in the feed consumption in the groups fed either raw or processed SWPM diets when compared with the control diet. There was a significant (P<0.05) decline in the feed conversion ratio in the group of birds fed the diets in which 25 and 50% fishmeal was replaced b...

A total of 180 day old chicks (Vencobb 400) were divided into one control and three treatment groups, each group with three replicates of 15 birds per replicate. Group I (GI) of birds was kept as control and fed the basal diet without any supplemental Methionine. Group II (GII) of birds was fed the basal diet supplemented with synthetic DL-Methionine @ 100g per quintal. Group III (GIII) of birds were fed the basal diet supplemented with Nutri-Methionine @ 100g per quintal feed in the diet. Group IV (GIV) of birds was fed the basal diet supplemented with 50g Nutrimethionine and 50g DL-Methionine per quintal of feed in the diet. The body weight of birds fed combination of herbal Methionine (Nutrimethionine) and DL-methionine (GIV) was significantly (P< 0.05) higher when compared with the other treatment groups and control group. Also the groups supplemented with DL-methionine and herbal methionine had significantly higher body weights than the control group. Cumulative feed intake was comparable among the groups of birds fed diets supplemented with synthetic Methionine or herbal methionine or both. However, feed intake was significantly (P

Among the external body measurements, body weight, bill dimensions, knob diameter, neck dimensions, length from tip of bill to tail tip and wing span was significantly more in males than females. Among the visceral measurements, only jejunum length showed a significant difference between the sexes. In females, the mean oviduct length was 38.5±8.5 cm and the mean weight of ovaries was 12.51±2.225 g. In males, left testicle was found significantly larger than the right one in terms of length and breadth but the weight of left and right testicle did not vary significantly.

The present study was aimed at physiological, haematological and biochemical profiling of domestic geese of Kashmir. The study was conducted on 30 adult domestic geese comprising of 12 male and 18 female (procured locally) which were maintained at Centre of Research on Poultry, SKUAST-Kashmir. The average body temperature, respiration rate and heart rate in geese were 40.05 ± 0.15°C, 17.16 ± 0.75 breaths min−1 and 60.57±5.09 beats min−1, respectively. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed presence of P, QRS and T waves. The mean electrical axis/instantaneous mean vector ranged from -86 to -95o indicating its orientation along the long axis of body and superior to frontal plane. The amplitude of QRS wave was almost similar and highest in lead II and III, whereas lead I could hardly represent voltages of QRS wave. The voltage in QRS wave ranged from 0.9 to 1.3 mv. The mean hemoglobin, ESR, PCV, TEC, MCV, MCH, MCHC and TLC was 11.5 ± 0.2 mg dL−1, 0.1 ± 0.17 mm hr−1, 50.08 ± 1.81%, 3.06 ± 0.78 x 106 mm3, 166.13 ± 5.35 m3, 38.25 ± 1.26 pg, 23.14 ± 0.50% and 67.01 ± 4.08 x 103 mm3, respectively. The differential leukocyte count revealed overall mean of 89.27 ± 1.36, 7.77 ± 1.30, 2.95± 0.45 and 0.0% heterophils, lymphocytes, monocytes and basophils, respectively. The blood glucose, total protein, cholesterol-LS and HDL-cholesterol levels were 216.3 ± 5.5 g dL−1, 21.59 ± 1.29 g L−1, 123.0 ± 10.4 mg dL−1 and 29.04 ± 2.24 mg dL−1, respectively. Gender-wise, only heart rate and body temperature showed a significant difference. The present study established basic physiological and haemato-biochemical indices of Kashmir geese.

Forty (40) Corriedale ewes were divided into four treatment groups (TC, T1, T2 and T3) with 10 ewes in each group (n=10). At the beginning of the breeding season extra feeding (Flushing regime) was started for approximately 34 days such that two estrus cycles are covered. First group i.e. TC (Control) received no Concentrate supplement, only grazing for 6-8 hrs was practiced. The treatment groups were fed concentrate supplement @300g/ewe/day (T1), 400g/ewe/day (T2) and 500g/ewe/day (T3) for 34 days in addition to grazing for 6-8 hrs. Five parameters i.e. Height at wither (H), Body length (BL), Pelvic girth (PG), Pin bone to pin bone distance (P-P), Teat to Teat distance (T-T) were measured. The nutritional flushing produced significant effect on Height at wither (H), (p≤ 0.05) and Pelvic girth (PG), (p≤ 0.05), however the Body length (BL), Pin bone to pin bone distance (P-P) and Teat to Teat distance (T-T) also showed improved measurements but their values did not differ significantly. It was concluded that the flushing regime had a definite effect on morphometry of Corriedale ewes and there exists a relationship between body measurements and performance traits.
