ABSTRACT: The present study entitled "Effect of feeding Button weed silage on the growth performance of upgraded Tenyivo pig" was carried out to study the effect of feeding button weed (Borreriaarticularis) silage on twenty upgraded Tenyivo pigs. The experimental animals were divided into two groups of ten animals each. The experimental diet consisted of T1– 100% conventional feeds and T2– 80% conventional feeds + 20% button weed silage. The animals were reared under standard management housing system. The recorded average body weight at ten weeks for T1 and T2.......

ABSTRACT: The soil test based nutrient management has emerged as a key issue in efforts to increase agriculture productivity. In the present investigation study focus on the physico-chemical analysis of a soil from crop fields in Baramati Tehsil region. Total 30 soil samples collected from 15 sites during December 2020 to February 2021. Collected soil samples from crop fields analyzed for parameters like soil pH, electrical conductivity (EC), organic carbon (OC), available nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), potassium (K), Sodium (Na), Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) and micronutrients (Fe, Mn, Cu and Zn). All site soil samples in crop fields pH shows moderately alkaline to strong alkaline. Maximum site crop field's soil samples shows average electrical conductivity some sites soil samples shows......

ABSTRACT: Small ruminant production is one of the main sources of meat in Jumla district of Nepal and plays a vital role in the country's food security. Observational study was carried out at Guthichaur and surrounding areas to know the rearing system including health practices of small ruminant in Jumla. Interview was done with 20 farmers' group around Guthichaur, Jumla and each group/flock comprised of 100 to 350 animals. They were asked about the rearing system, feeding, vaccination and deworming schedule, general health problems etc. Sheep was a major livestock commodity and most of the farmers raised sheep and goat together in the same flock. Farmers raised sheep and goat in transhumance system (migratory sheep flock). Baruwal, Bhyanglung and their crosses in case of......

ABSTRACT: Organic farming (OF) is known to contribute to: healthy living, increase in farm income, and safe and sustainable environments. It is in view of the benefits that OF systems are encouraged across countries in Sub-Saharan Africa, including Kenya. This paper investigates smallholder farmers' practice and perception of organic farming in Kisii Central Sub – County, Kenya. The study employed descriptive survey research design where a total of 306 respondents were interviewed. Results show that nearly all (97%) of smallholder farmers are practicing OF with use of animal manure (87%), crop rotation (72%) and cover crops (55%) as the predominant practices. The high number......

ABSTRACT: The projected increase in global consumption, coupled with erratic weather patterns, unpredictable climate events, and the depletion of agricultural resources, are major pressures on food security systems. An increase in agricultural productivity in a sustainable yet profitable manner by optimization of farm practices is thus critical. Over the years, the use of Precision Agriculture techniques, primarily Remote Sensing (RS) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), have proven quite effective in optimizing yield potential and ensuring efficient farm resource management. The paper aims to describe the various applications of Remote Sensing & GIS, specifically focused......

ABSTRACT: Goat is a domesticated small ruminant, primarily reared by small farmers for meat production, across the country. Productivity of goat is often low, which could be related to several genetic and non-genetic factors. A field study was carried out to characterize, evaluate and estimate the effect of non-genetic factors on the reproductive performance of hill goats during December, 2016 to August 2017 in different eco-zones at Salyan district of mid-western Nepal. Altogether 482 dams of different age groups were identified for this study. Reproductive performance was collected based on field monitoring and measurements within different altitudes of Salyan district. Least square......
