- Achievements (Last Five Years):
Executive summary:
- The DM requirement for maintenance in lactating buffaloes was 71.24 g/Kg (W) 75 . This DMI level is 20% below the ICAR-2013 recommendations.
- Increasing ME by 15% has significant impact on reducing service period and improved milk production in subsequent lactation.
- Good quality sugarcane tops silage can be prepared with xylanase plus cellulase and fermentum along with urea and molasses as additives.
- For ensiling the maize fodder, Potassium sorbate and Sodium benzoate at 0.1% FM basis were most effective additives for improving silage quality while for sugargraze fodder, Potassium sorbate (0.1% FM basis) and Propionic acid (1.0% FM) were most promising silage additives to improve silage quality.
