    SYLLABUS
    THEORY
    Importance of nutrients in animal production and health. Composition of animal body
    and plants. Nutritional terms and their definitions. Importance of minerals (major and
    trace elements) and vitamins in health and production, their requirements and
    supplementation in feed. Common feeds and fodders, their classification, availability
    and importance for livestock and poultry production. Measures of food energy and
    their applications – gross energy, digestible energy, metabolisable energy, net energy,
    total digestible nutrients, starch equivalent, food units, physiological fuel value. Direct
    and indirect calorimetry, carbon and nitrogen balance studies. Protein evaluation of
    feeds – Measures of protein quality in ruminants and non-ruminants, biological value of
    protein, protein efficiency ratio, protein equivalent, and digestible crude protein.
    Calorie protein ratio. Nutritie ratio. Various physical, chemical and biological methods of
    feed processing for improving the nutritive value of inferior quality roughages.
    Preparation, storage and conservation of livestock feed through silage and hay and their
    uses in livestock feeding. Harmful natural constituents and common adulterants of
    feeds and fodders. Feed additives in the rations of livestock and poultry; Antibiotics and
    hormonal compounds and other growth stimulants, and their uses.

    PRACTICAL

    Farmiliarisation of various feed stuff, fodders and their selection. Preparation and
    processing of samples for chemical analysis – herbage, faeces, urine and silages.
    Weende’s System of analysis – Estimation of dry matter, total ash, acid insoluble ash,
    crude protein, ether extract, crude fibre, nitrogen free extract. Calcium and phosphorus
    in feed samples. Demonstration of detergent methods of forage analysis. Qualitative
    detection of undesirable constituents and common adulterants of feed. Demonstration
    of laboratory ensiling of green fodders. Silage pit preparation.
