Abstract:
The present study was planned to evaluate the effect of bypass protein and mineral mixture feeding on production and economic parameters of Crossbreed cattle. An On Field Trial was conducted during 2016-17, 2017-18 and 2018-19, by KVK Hanumangarh. Total 10 Lactating crossbred cows from 10 different farmer herd, with average milk yield of 10.9 kg were selected. Each animal was first treated with T1 (Mineral Mixture @50 gm/ animal/day) for 30 days and then treated with T2 (Mineral mixture @ 50g/Animal/day with Bypass protein) for 30 days. The average milk production (litres), average fat percentage and average SNF percentage on feeding mineral mixture with bypass protein improved as compared to supplementing bypass protein without mineral mixture. Also, average fat percentage was 3.79% and 4.59% on feeding mineral mixture and mineral mixture with bypass protein, respectively. Similar to fat %, average SNF % increased from 8.11% to 8.69% on feeding mineral mixture and mineral mixture with bypass protein, respectively. Also, the net profit and benefit cost ratio on feeding mineral mixture with bypass protein was also higher than feeding mineral mixture only. Sell at price of milk also increased from Rs 19.8 to 27 per litre because change in Fat% and SNF%. Thus, it can be concluded that bypass protein with mineral mixture improves production performance of crossbreed cattle and also improves economy of farmer.
