Aim: To standardize the stocking density of GIFT strain of Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) to optimize survival, growth, biomass production and maximum economic gain in pond cage culture system. Methodology: Study was conducted in triplicate for 180 days in fish cages installed in cemented...

Aim: Pangasius pangasius, a species of freshwater shark catfish native to Mekong River is highly resistant to crowding and low oxygen therefore, can be a suitable species for cage aquaculture. The objective of the present study was to standardize the stocking density of catfish P. pangasius in pond ...

Present investigation was carried out to study the behaviour of pigs at 33 and 50% reduced floor space allowances in relation to Indian standards (IS: 3916-1966) for housing of pigs. Crossbred (Landrace × Desi) barrows (36) were reared with 3 different floor space allowances (n=4 (group size) × 3...

he present study investigated the effect of stocking density on growth performance, stress reaction, and mortality in broiler chickens. Two hundred and forty (240) day-old straight run commercial broiler chicks (Vencob) were divided into two batches having 120 chicks each and further subdivided...

The effect of stocking density on the survival and growth of L. rohita (rohu) and C. mrigala (mrigal) was evaluated under recirculating systems. Indian major carp rohu (1.0±0.002 mg) and mrigal (1.0±0.002 mg) spawns were cultured separately at 3 different stocking densities of 100, 125 and 150...

Present experiment was conducted to study the relative economics of crossbred (Landrace × Desi) pigs with thirty six crossbred barrows reared under 3 different floor space allowances (n=12 each) having group size of 4 pigs/pen. One group (T_IS) was provided floor space as per Indian Standards (0.9,...

A feeding trial was conducted for 4 months to study the effect of a nutraceutical conglomerate at different levels (0, 0.1, and 0.5%) on stress-exposed (high stocking density, H and feed restriction, R) Labeo rohita fingerlings. Six isonitrogenous diets with a crude protein of 35% were prepared for ...

Twenty-four Frieswal bulls (Holstein Friesian × Sahiwal) were randomly distributed according to their housing: animals housed individually in sheds with partition (n = 12; PS) and without partition (n = 12; PW) wall. The present study revealed that the alteration in design of bull housing affected...

The present study was conducted at Sardar Vallbhabhai Patel University of Agriculture and Technology, Modipuram to know the housing practiced followed by buffalo farmer. This study using multistage stratified random sampling procedure to select 4 talukas and from each talukas were randomly selected ...
