description
Dairying is an integral part of small-holder farming systems as well as an important source of subsidiary income for most households in Bihar, India and most farmers keep 2-3 cattle. Nevertheless, the per-capita milk availability in Bihar is very low (175 g/d) compared to the Indian average (290 g/d) in 2011-12 as productivity is low, mainly because current feeding is based mainly on crop residues (wheat and rice straw). Constraints to improving these feeding practices include limited farm resources, weak support services and poor knowledge on nutrient requirements and contents. The present study examines the effect of a balanced concentrate feed on livestock productivity in Samastipur and Muzaffarpur districts of Bihar, in comparison to existing feeding practices.

o Dairying is an integral part of small-‐holder farming systems and important source of income for small and marginal farmers o Dairy produc6vity and per capita milk availability is very low in Bihar compared to country’s average o High cost of commercial feed, low quality, poor knowledge and weak support hinders the produc6vity of dairy animal’s o To improve the dairy animal’s produc6vity, ILRI has formulated balanced concentrate feed based on locally available ingredient o Objec6ve of this study is to examine the impact of ILRI feed on dairy animal’s produc6vity

o Average milk yield increased by 1.2 litre per animal/day and 0.7 litre per kg of concentrate o Feed intake of concentrate decreased by 16 % but the output increased (14.3 % milk yield, 21.3 % Fat and 4.5% Snf) o Cost of concentrate per litre of milk reduced by Rs. 0.60 aYer trials o AYer using the ILRI-‐CSISA feed benefit increase from Rs. 3.1 to Rs. 3.6 each Rs. spent on concentrate feed o On an average farmers’ income has increased by Rs. 44 per day/animal

New balanced concentrate feed increases dairy animal’s produc6vity, Fat and Snf, which enhances dairy famers income
o The composi6on of new balanced concentrate feed: crushed grains (37%), cereal brans (30%), pulse husks (10%), oil cakes (20%), mineral mixture (2%) and salt (1%)
o The new balanced concentrate feed was introduced through a combina6on of par6cipatory trainings on nutri6on and feeding, demonstra6ons of feed prepara6on and farm-‐based dairy animal’s feeding
o The trials has done on 400 crossbred dairy cable kept among 400 farmers o Data has been collected for 3 days under control and 6 days for experiment
