ABSTRACT :
In the present study, initially three isonitrogenous complete rations (roughage: concentrate, 60:40) were formulated using locally available crop residues such as maize stover (T1), red gram straw (T2) and black gram straw (T3) along with a conventional feeding system (control ‘C’) comprising of paddy straw, hybrid napier and concentrate mixture fed separately were evaluated for their nutrient digestibility, balance, nutritive value and rumen fermentation pattern using four rumen fistulated Murrah buffalo bulls and adult Nellore rams in a 4X4 LSD in each. The crop residues, conventional and complete rations were also evaluated by in vitro and in situ methods to study the DM, CP, NDF and ADF degradabilities. Subsequently, two on-farm trials were conducted, one with lactating Murrah buffaloes using maize stover based complete ration (T1) and the other with growing Nellore ram lambs using black gram straw based complete ration (T3). In a 120 day on-farm lactation trial, 20 farmers possessing minimum of two lactating Murrah buffaloes were selected and fed such that one of the animal was fed on maize stover based complete ration (T1) while the other on a conventional (C) feeding system (grazing + hybrid napier + paddy straw and concentrate mixture) thus consisting of two groups of 20 buffaloes each.
In a 120 day on-farm growth trial, 100 growing Nellore brown ram lambs belonging to 8 farmers were selected and fed such that half of the ram lambs belonging to each farmer were fed on black gram straw based complete ration (T3) while the other half was maintained on a conventional (C) feeding system (grazing for 6-8 h+ concentrate mixture) thus consisting two groups of 50 ram lambs each.
The in vitro DM, CP and ADF degradabilities (%) were higher (P
