Effect of Using Unground Rice Husk as a Roughage Substitute on the Performance and Carcass Characteristics of Buffalo Calves
Jump To References Section
Abstract
In an earlier study, carried out on about one year old male buffalo calves for nearly six monihs, Joshi et al observed that by gradual replacement nearly 80 per cent of the wheat straw consnmed by control animals, could be substituted by unground rice husk without affecting the growth of the animals. It was however, considered necessary to examine if the continued feeding of rice husk has any adverse effect on the internal organs of these animals. The study was there fore, extended for another 12 months and the results obtained are being reported in this communication.Downloads
