“…Risk of calf mortality increases drastically with delay in colostrum feeding (Zucali et al, 2013) due to inadequate passive transfer of immunoglobulin through the gut which may subsequently suppresses disease resistance capacity of calves (Godden, 2008). Superscripts are put based on z-test: z value between large and medium = 2.338; P = 0.019; z value between large and medium = 2.164; P = 0.03; z value between large and small = 4.611; P = <0.001 Deworming has also been considered as one of the factors associated with calf mortality (Wynn et al, 2009) and same being observed in our study. Deworming of dam at the last stage of pregnancy significantly reduced calf mortality (r = -0.167, P=0.034).…”

“…Low growth performance, poor reproductive performance and milk yield have been reported in buffaloes in other studies [64,65]. Indeed, the poor performance reported by those studies correlated with poor dry matter intake and weight gain and longer calving intervals [64,65]. In many parts of Asia, inadequate and irregular availability of quality feedstuffs and their utilization are the main causes of the poor performance of buffaloes [44].…”

With the increase in the global buffalo herd, the use of supplementation in the ruminant feeding has become an important area for many researchers who are looking for an isocaloric and isonitrogenous diet to improve production parameters. In order to improve the performance of the Asian water buffalo, the optimal balance of all nutrients, including energy and protein, are important as macronutrients. Dietary supplementation is one of the alternatives to enhance the essential nutrient content in the buffalo diet and to improve the rumen metabolism of the animal. Researchers have found that supplementation of concentrate and rumen bypass fat could change growth performance and carcass traits without causing any adverse effects on the buffalo growth. Some studies showed that dry matter intake, body condition score and some blood parameters and hormones related to growth responded positively to concentrate and rumen bypass fat supplementation. In addition, changes of feeding management by adding the supplement to the ruminant basal diet helped to increase the profit of the local farmers due to the increased performance and productivity of the animals. Nevertheless, the effects of dietary supplementation on the performance of ruminants are inconsistent. Thus, its long-term effects on the health and productivity of buffaloes still need to be further investigated.

“…These conditions may be improved by be er nutrition and management of heifers (Qureshi et al, 2002;Zicarelli et al, 2007) and male buff aloes (Sahoo et al, 2004;Wynn et al, 2009). Eff ect of inclusion of palm oil solid waste in the diet to increase MEI therefore should be studied to look at the eff ect on heifers as well as on male buff aloes.…”

A fi eld trial was conducted to study the eff ect of dietary inclusion of palm oil solid waste on milk production of murrah buff alo raised under palm oil plantation. Two farms from diff erent districts were involved in this study. Forty cows with 7-9 month pregnancy were selected from each farm and they were divided into control and treatment groups. Cows in control group were off ered a mixed supplement of 1 kg copra meal + 2 kg fresh grated cassava root + mineral mix and treatments group were off ered the control diet + 1 kg palm oil solid waste. The dietary supplement was off ered to the cows for 2 months before and 2 months period a er calving.
