Studies On Feed Milk Relationship In Buffaloes Of Rural Area Of Lakhimpur Kheri District

Abstract

A field experiment entitled Studies on Feed-Milk Relationship in Buffaloes of Rural Area of Lakhimpur (Kheri) District (U.P.) . The present study are carried out on 250 Buffaloes owner in rural area of Lakhipur (Kheri) District (U.P) during 2019-2021..

The study were performed in three phase, feed intake, milk yield, its composition and feed milk relationship in first phase. Whereas improved feeding and economic evaluation of Buffaloes carried out in second and third phase respectively. In phase randomly selected from five block of District Lakhimpur (Kheri), each block randomly selected in two villages and each village selected of 25 farmers .Farmers were categorized into five groups on the basis of land holding capacity i.e., Landless farmers (landless), Marginal Farmers (lt 1.00 hectare), Small Farmers (1.00-2.00 hectare) ,Medium Famers (2.00-4.00 hectare) and Large Farmers (4.00- 10.00 hectare).In phase second and third phase were ten lactating buffaloes were selected in each category of farmers from phase first.
