Dolichos biflorus L. is commonly known as Horse gram and Kulthi in Hindi. It belongs to family Fabaceae. The seeds of Dolichos biflorus have several medicinal properties; anthelmintic, diaphoretic, diuretic, etc.  as a well-enriched source of protein and energy. The calorific value and energy structure of Dolichos biflorus vary among the species.  In this study, our aim was to evaluate the varieties of Kulthi for their better adaption and cultivation in the agro-climatic condition of Hazaribag, Jharkhand. Further, the variation in energy content of these varieties in the above agro-climatic condition. We have collected three varieties of Kulthi (Birsa Kulthi-1 to 3) for this study and followed for 105 days, to evaluate the energy content at different time intervals. We observed these three varieties of Kulthi are different in the relative amount of energy storage at maturity. However, all these three studied varieties of Kulthi (Birsa Kulthi-1 ,Birsa Kulthi-2 ,Birsa Kulthi -3) are ecologically suitable for cultivation in the vicinity of the agro-climatic condition of Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, India.

Present study was designed to investigate the dietary inclusion of Moringa oleifera leaf meal (MOLM) on growth performance, lipid profile and meat fatty acid composition of Vanaraja birds under tropical condition. The experiment was conducted for 56 days on 300 Vanaraja birds divided into 5 different treatment groups of 60 birds each. T1 served as control group and fed only with basal ration whereas, other treatment groups such as T2, T3, T4 and T5 were supplemented with 5, 10, 15 and 20% Moringa oleifera leaf meal along with basal ration. Growth performance and feed conversion efficiency in Vanaraja chicken showed significant effect and good fluctuation was observed among the different treatment groups. The total cholesterol and triglyceride level decreased significantly as compared to control group. The fatty acid composition in chicken was significantly improved. However, the maximum profit per kg live weight was noted in T2 group and least profit observed in 20% MOLM fed group. It was concluded that the overall performances improved significantly with 5% followed by 10% Moringa oleifera leaf meal supplemented birds with achieving maximum profit and healthy meat production for human consumption.
