An Action oriented approach to sensitize and mobilize the dairy farmers for intensive cultivation of super Napier fodder in Kalyana Karnataka region of Karnataka, India was conducted in Bidar district of Karnataka. This action research involved 10 respondents who reported that there was increase in quantity of milk after feeding the super Napier fodder to milch animals and there was no remarkable change in fat and SNF. Further, farmers felt that super Napier fodder was high yielding and required less time to grow in both first cut and subsequent cut, with less land and labour for same output compared to other fodder crops. Scarcity of water/ lack of irrigation facilities, low / non availability of cultivable land, lack of labour/ manpower, preference for cultivation of agriculture/cash crops were the major constraints in fodder production. The study concluded that there is a need to improve the knowledge level of farmers about fodder production and feeding of green fodder crops to dairy animals through various extension approaches for improved dairy production in the study area.

“…Later, the adult goats were fed with 250 to 300 gm of concentrate diet by splitting it for two times a day (150 gm each) which consisted of 15% crude protein (CP) and 65% total digestible nutrients (TDN) as per book values. It was prepared using the ingredients like maize (30%), ground nut cake (5%), soya bean (5%), green gram chuni (10%), rice polish (5%), wheat bran (40%), limestone (2%), mineral mixture (1%) and salt (2%) (Rathod et al 2018). The proximate analysis of the concentrate feed included moisture (9.39%), DM (90.61%), Ash (7.26%), EE (3.96%), CP (15.44%), CF (7.86%) and NFE (56.09%) as per AOAC (2005) method.…”

“…which indicates that data recorded in this farm has superseded other studies in majority of the parameters under study. Further, studies conducted by Gopala et al (2010), SFAC (2014), NAIP (2014), Rathod et al (2018), Perumal et al (2019 and Veeranna and Rathod (2019) have also revealed that effective implementation of scientific interventions would improve the productive and reproductive performance of small ruminants in general, and Osmanabadi goats in particular ultimately leading to improvement of farmers income.…”

In the present study, an attempt was made to study the salient characteristics, viz. age at first kidding (AFK), weight of kid at birth (WKB), kidding interval (KI), kidding, twinning and triplet percentages, etc. during June, 2018 to March, 2020. The study was conducted using standard format developed by ICAR-National Bureau of Animal Genetic Resources (NBAGR), Karnal (Haryana) with some adaptations to capture additional information. Scientific management practices were followed in the farm to enhance the productive and reproductive performance of Osmanabadi goats under semi-intensive system. The study generated data on average age at first kidding (266.55Â±18.38 days), gestation period (148â€“153 days), kidding interval (195.09Â±5.65 days), age at puberty (212.32Â±2.83 days), average litter size (1.62), average dressing percentage (53%), average milk yield (1.26 kg per doe per day), birth weights of kids (2.57Â±0.48 kg), twinning (35.59%) and triplet percentages (13.56%). Further, the kidding details indicated significant difference among the durations. The data thus generated revealed that the semi-intesive rearing practices were superior to the methods followed in earlier studies including those of ICARNBAGR, Karnal. It can be concluded that meticulous adoption of scientific management practices would enhance the productive and reproductive performance of goats in general, and Osmanabadi goats in particular under semiintensive rearing system.
