The document discusses feeding and evaluating the nutrient content of cow feed. It outlines several key points:
1) Effective feeding is important to maintain cow fertility, production and profitability. Feeds must meet cow requirements for energy and nutrients.
2) Feed samples should be taken and tested to determine nutrient composition, including dry matter, protein, fiber and energy levels. Factors like weather and quality can impact nutrient content.
3) Various methods are used to analyze feeds chemically and determine digestibility, including proximate analysis, Van Soest method, and digestibility trials using nylon bags or artificial rumens. This helps evaluate the quality and energy value of different feeds.
This slides contains information on precision feeding in dairy cattle and requirement of energy, protein, fat, minerals and vitamins of a dairy cattle during lactation. Precision feeding protects reproductive health and milk production while reducing the nutrient loss in manure.
Only 25-35% of the N in feed goes into milk, with the rest excreted in feces and urine.
Dairy diets often have 120-160% of the P and that the excess is excreted in the manure.
Cost of feed can be reduced.

Five distinct feeding phases can be defined to attain optimum production, reproduction and health of dairy cows:
Early lactation—0 to 70 days (peak milk production) after calving (postpartum).
Peak DM intake—70 to 140 days (declining milk production) postpartum.
Mid and late lactation—140 to 305 days (declining milk production) postpartum.
Dry period—60 days before the next lactation.
Transition or close-up period—14 days before to parturition.
Feed top quality forage.
Make sure the diet contains adequate amounts of CP, DIP and UIP.
Increase grain intake at a constant rate after calving.
Consider adding fat (0.4-0.6 kg/cow/day) to diets.
Allow constant access to feed.
Minimize stress conditions.
Limit urea to 80-160g/day.
Buffers, such as Na bicarbonate alone or in combination with Mg oxide (rumen pH)
In Transition period
Increase grain feeding, so cows are consuming 4.5-6 kg grain/day at calving (1% of B.wt)
Increase protein in the ration to between 14 - 15 % of the ration DM
Limit fat in the ration to 0.1kg. High fat feeding will depress DM intake.
Maintain 2.5-4kg of long hay in the ration to stimulate rumination.
Feed a low-Ca ration (< 0.20%, reduce Ca intake to 14 to 18 g/d)
Also, feed a diet with a negative dietary electrolyte balance (-10 to -15meq/100 g DM) may alleviate milk fever problems
Niacin (to control ketosis) and/or anionic salts (to help prevent milk fever) should be included in the ration during this period.

Performance, Egg Qualities, and Blood Parameters of Layers Fed Diets Containi...BRNSS Publication Hub
A 10-week feeding trial was conducted to determine the performance, egg qualities, and hematology of layers fed diets containing sun-dried sweet orange peel meal (SOPM). A total of 140 Isa brown point of lay birds, aged 20 weeks were used for the experiment. SOPM was incorporated to replace 0, 10, 20, 30, and 40% maize. The birds were randomly assigned to the diets in a Completely Randomized Design; each diet group had 28 birds and 4 replicates with each replicate having 7 birds. Observed results showed that SOPM did not significantly (NS) (p>0.05) affect final weight and egg number. However, weight change, feed intake, feed conversion ratio, mortality, cost of 1 kg feed, and cost of feed consumed were significantly different (P < 0.05) among treatments. Egg weight and egg length were significantly (P < 0.05) different, which ranged from 56.18 to 58.73 g and 3.74–4.17 cm, respectively. Shell thickness and egg width were NS (P > 0.05) influenced, and ranged from 0.80 to 0.84 and 2.63–2.71 cm, respectively. Internal egg parameters, i.e., yolk width, yolk height, albumin weight, albumin length, and yolk index were significantly (P < 0.05) affected. Hematological profile (packed cell volume, hemoglobin, white blood cell, red blood cell, mean corpuscular volume, mean corpuscular hemoglobin (MCH), MCH concentration, lymphocyte, and neutrophil) of birds showed significant differences (P < 0.05). The study revealed that SOPM did not have an adverse effect on the performance of layers even at 40% replacement of maize while in lay. Its inclusion decreased the cost of feed linearly, did not compromise external and internal qualities of eggs or the health of the birds.

Applications of nanotechnology in food packaging and food safetyDr. IRSHAD A
Over the past few decades the evolution of a number of science disciplines and technologies have revolutionized food and processing sector. Most notable among these are biotechnology, information technology etc… and recently nanotechnology which is now constantly growing in the field of food production, processing, packaging, preservation, and development of functional foods. Food packaging is considered as one of the earliest commercial application of nanotechnology in food sector. Around more than 400 Nanopackaging products are available for commercial use. In 2008, nanotechnology demanded over $15 billion in worldwide research and development money (public and private) and employed over 400,000 researchers across the globe (Roco, M. C. et al. 2010). Nanotechnologies are projected to impact at least $3 trillion across the global economy by 2020, and nanotechnology industries worldwide may require at least 6 million workers to support them by the end of the decade (Roco, M. C. et al. 2010). Scientists and industry stakeholders have already identified potential uses of nanotechnology in virtually every segment of the food industry from agriculture (e.g., pesticide, fertilizer or vaccine delivery; animal and plant pathogen detection; and targeted genetic engineering) to food processing (e.g., encapsulation of flavor or odor enhancers; food textural or quality improvement; new gelation or viscosifying agents) to food packaging (e.g., pathogen, gas or abuse sensors; anticounterfeiting devices, UV-protection, and stronger, more impermeable polymer films) to nutrient supplements (e.g., nutraceuticals with higher stability and bioavailability). Undeniably, the most active area of food nanoscience research and development is packaging: the global nano-enabled food and beverage packaging market was 4.13 billion US dollars in 2008 and has been projected to grow to 7.3 billion by 2014, representing an annual growth rate of 11.65% (www.innoresearch.net).This is likely connected to the fact that the public has been shown in some studies to be more willing to embrace nanotechnology in ‘out of food’ applications than those where nanoparticles are directly added to foods.

The efficient disposal of effluent from meat plants and meat-processing works is important because of the possible pollution of water – courses. Hence an effluent treatment plant (ETP) is necessary in all modern abattoirs/meat plants. The objective of effluent treatment is to produce a product that can be safely discharged into a waterway or sewer in compliance with the recommended limits for discharge.
Novel approaches in seafood preservation techniques_Dr. Irshad A., LPT Divisi...Dr. IRSHAD A
Fish are highly susceptible to spoilage, which is caused mainly by microbial growth and metabolism that produce amines, sulphides, alcohols, aldehydes, ketones, and organic acids. Spoiled products have unpleasant and unacceptable off-flavours, making fish that is not well protected unsuitable for human consumption. Improving the safety and quality of seafood is important for both the consumers and the seafood industry. Ancient preservation techniques are not much effective in the large scale production of sea foods, its product processing and storage. Also these techniques have certain limitations such as loss of texture, favour, colour etc. So advance methods like irradiation, ultrasound, high intensity light etc are used for preservation, processing of fish and seafood product. Even though these are costly methods, they are cost effective in mass production and marketing.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Advances in Cattle and Buffalo
Production and Management
2. Introduction
→Managing high yielding cows to meet their energy intake
requirements for peak milk production is a major challenge
facing dairy farmers.
→Underfeeding dairy cows leads to excessive negative energy
balance and subsequent fertility problems
→40 and 60 percent of the total cost of producing milk is from
feed cost
→Effective feeding is important to maintain fertility, production
and profitability.
4. Feed Nutrients
Growing conditions, such as excessive rainfall or drought, can
affect the nutrient content of feeds, especially forages.
Other facts such as musty odor, unusual amounts of foreign
material or pests present in the feed, and a high level of leaf
shattering on forages etc… can affect quality
Excessive amounts of some substances like Nitrates can be
harmful to animals.
• The most important tests to be done on feed grains are
moisture, protein, and energy content.
• Test forages for moisture, protein, acid detergent fiber and
neutral detergent fiber.
5. Sampling of Feed
Take representative samples of the feed to be analyzed.
Take random samples of hay from at least 20 bales. Insert the
sampling tube into the center of the bale.
About 15 samples from silage and 5 from grain will usually
give enough to be representative of the entire lot.
Samples of silage or total mixed rations should be taken from
the silage feeder or feed mixer as it is being fed.
Avoid the top of the feed because it is drier than the entire
batch.
6.
7. Sampling of Feed
• Mix the samples from one type of feed and take a subsample
from the mixture for analysis.
• Seal the samples in polyethylene freezer bags; store dry samples
in a cool area.
• Freeze samples that contain more than 15 percent moisture.
Send the samples to a testing laboratory as soon as possible.
8. Feed Analysis Measures
Dry matter (DM)
Crude protein (CP)—the total of both true protein and non-
protein nitrogen.
Insoluble crude protein (ICP)—the amount of indigestible crude
protein in the feed resulting from overheating.
Adjusted crude protein (ACP)—calculated value, adjusted for
insoluble crude protein.
**If the ICP/CP ratio exceeds 0.1, use this value instead of crude
protein when balancing a ration.
9. Feed Analysis Measures (Cont…)
Neutral detergent fiber (NDF)—relatively insoluble material
found in the cell wall of plants, which may be used to predict
feed intake.
**A low NDF is desirable.
Acid detergent fiber (ADF)—measures the least digestible part of
the feed; includes cellulose, lignin, silica, insoluble crude protein,
and ash.
**A low ADF is desirable.
Digestible dry matter (DDM)—percent of forage that is
digestible.
10. Feed Analysis Measures (Cont…)
Net energy (NE)—It is the energy left after determining the
energy lost through the feces, urine, gas, and heat generated by
metabolism.
**an indicator of the true value of a feed.
Total digestible nutrients (TDN)—the total of the digestible parts
of crude fiber, protein, fat, and nitrogen-free extract.
Dry matter intake (DMI)—estimated maximum consumption of
forage dry matter by the animal.
**It is shown as a percentage of body weight.
Relative feed value (RFV)—an evaluation of the quality of hay
and haylage by combining into one number digestibility and feed
intake.
