Abstract

Nitrogen in form of protein plays a pivitor role in growth and productivity in animals. The efficiency with which it is absorbed and utilized In the system largely govems the economics of an animal enterprise. Though the percent content of protein in the body of buffalo calves fed formaldehyde treated soybean does not differ from those in which untreated soybean was fed, yet the content of protein was higher in earlier group.

Abstract

Infusion of high quality protein via the abomasum enhances the retention of nitrogen and efficiency of its utilization. This is probably due to escape of such protein from degradation in rumen Many workers have suggested the means to prevent degradation in rumen by treating it with formaldehyde. However reports OD the utilization of such feeds are contradictory in nature This could be either due to proteins from different sources reacting with formaldehyde in different fashion, level of protein and energy in the ration or due to effect on the voluntary intake of feed and altered pattern of feed utilization. Since some reports are available on the first two aspects, this study was envisaged to see the effect on the latter aspect of voluntary intake and feed efficiency only.

Abstract

With the view to extend the supply of liquid milk to needy segments of population and further because of its economic feasibility, the use of recombined and toned milk in place of high fat whole milk has often been professed. This lias reflected in the increased consumption of toned and recombined milk in the recent years.
