Description Present experiment was conducted to study the effect of different feeding methods on nutrient digestibility and nutritive value in lactating Punganur cows.  In a completely randomized design (CRD) Sixteen lactating Punganur cows randomly assigned to four treatments with each group containing four animals into four treatment groups. Animals of T1 (Control) group were maintained as per the feeding practice followed by the farmers rearing Punganur cows in Chittoor district (Hedge lucerne + PS + CM), T2 group fed with Super Napier grass + PS + CM, T3 group fed with PS + CM + UMMB and T4 group fed with TMR. Results indicated that the digestibility (%) of DM and OM was highest in T3 when compared with T1, T2 and T4 groups, while the digestibility of other nutrients did not indicate any difference among the treatment groups. The Plane of nutrition indicated DMI (Kg/d) was significantly (P<0.05) highest in T3 or T2 followed by T4 and lowest in T1. The nutritive value in terms of DCP (%) was found to be significantly (P<0.05) higher in T1 or T4 as compared to T2 or T3 whereas the TDN (%) did not differ significantly (P>0.05) among the treatment groups under study.
