ABSTRACT:The study was carried out to evaluate the Effects of Raw and Processed Senna obtusifolia Seed Meals on the growth performance, carcass characteristics and blood profile of weaner rabbits. Forty weaner rabbits were randomly assigned to five dietary treatments containing 10% of raw,10% toasted,10%sprouted,10% boiled and 10% fermented in a completely randomized design with 8 rabbits per treatment replicated 4 times with 2 rabbits per replicate.The result of the proximate composition of raw and differently processed Senna obtusifolia seeds showed crude protein range of 23.04 in raw to 25.13% in fermented. Dry matter ranged from 90.30-92.20%. The content of saponin.........

ABSTRACT: Goat is a domesticated small ruminant, primarily reared by small farmers for meat production, across the country. Productivity of goat is often low, which could be related to several genetic and non-genetic factors. A field study was carried out to characterize, evaluate and estimate the effect of non-genetic factors on the productive and reproductive performance of hill goats during December, 2016 to August 2017 in different eco-zones at Salyan district of mid-western Nepal. Altogether 45 bucks of different age groups were identified for this study. Morphological attributes, productive, and reproductive performance were collected based on field monitoring and measurements within different altitudes of Salyan district. Least square analysis was performed using Harvey (1990) computer software package, and means were compared using DMRT. The measurements of morphological traits were......

ABSTRACT: Aphids are an economically important pest of numerous crops. India faces a huge agricultural loss of about 8,63,884 million owing of soft-bodied insect pest. In India, mainly in Maharashtra various aphid species infect number of crops i.e. Aphis craccivora, Aphis gossypii , Myzus persicae,Aphis fabae, Toxoptera aurantii, and Aphis nerii etc. Aphis nerii mainly feed on ornamental plants from the family Asclepiadaceae, Apocynaceae, and Verbenaceae. Aphis nerii mainly feed on ornamental plants from parts of India infested to Calatropis sp, Nerium, Asclepias currasavia, Phyllanthus niruri. Aphis nerii causes discoloured spots on foliage and stem. Sooty mold was developed on honeydew secreted by the colony members.A.nerii infected mostly to ornamental plants. In nurseries, most of Aphis nerii infestation were observed due to this infestation economy......

ABSTRACT: An experiment was conducted at Directorate of Agricultural Research, Province N 2, Parwanipur, Bara for 42 days to evaluate the effect of Turmeric (Curcuma longa) powder and whey protein inclusion in broiler feed and its effect on growth of broiler production. Altogether 150 day old Cobb-500 broiler birds were divided into 5 treatments with 3 replications (10 birds in each replication) by using completely randomized design. Experimental birds were provided adlib grower feed (B1) for 21 days and that after finisher feed (B3) for 21 days and had easily access to drinking water. Feed intake was recorded daily and body weight gain was measured in 7 days interval. Control group (T1) was provided concentrate mixture only, whereas in T2 and T4 groups concentrate mixture......
