BookPublisher: 2008Subject(s): Department of Livestock ProductionDDC classification: 1036,T Dissertation note: The study was performed to investigate the effect of frequency of feeding on the growth performance of Beetal goat (Capra hericus) kids during winter months. For this purpose, 18 unweaned kids were reared in different groups. Each group had 6 replicates. The experiment was carried out from (4th November 2007 to 2nd February 2008). During this period it was observed that ambient temperature ranged from -2.8°C to 32°C and the humidity percentage remained between the ranges of 20% to 800/0. Green fodder and water were offered ad libitum and concentrate @ 1% of body weight to all the kids. During the experimental period, daily feed intake, weekly weight gain, weekly feed efficiency, fortnightly body measurements, twice a day ambient temperature were recorded. The data indicated that kids in group C showed significantly (P<0.05) more weight gain, increased feed intake and increased body measurement when compared with other two groups (A & B). This study clearly indicated that the overall performance of group C, having four times feeding is better than that of others A and B.
Conclusion
The results showed that the group C had significantly (P<0.05) high weight gain, increased feed intake and increased body measurement when compared with other two groups (A & B). The results showed that the net profit from twice daily feeding is Rs.0.21, by three time feeding Rs.4.231 and by four time feeding Rs.5.104. It is concluded that treatment 3 with Rs.5.104 profit is the most economical among the treatments.
