Research Abstract |
Buffalo grew faster in the growing period by improving feeding management. The weight or percentages of some cut yields in the hot carcasses and internal organs of buffalo were increased by improving plane of nutrition. The body weight of buffalo could accurately be estimated by the heart girth and hip width. The amounts and nutrients of feed for cattle and buffalo were largely affected by seasons. Some roughage sources and food manufacturer's by-products with superior nutrient composition, digestibility and palatability to conventional feeds can be utilized in improvement of cattle and buffalo production systems.
