I. Forage Production |
1. Improving the grassland by introduction of stylosanthes hamata. 2. Improving the grassland by introduction of stylosanthes hamata. 3. Improving the quality of rice straw and dry grass by urea (ammonia) treatment. 4. Evaluation of nutritive value of local fodder trees. 5. Evaluation of Gliricidia as fodder tree. |

|
II. Poultry Nutrition |
1. Optimum level of utilization of non-conventional, locally available feed ingredients viz. mango seed Kernel, Cassia tora, 2. Use of probiotics in poultry rations. |
|
|
III. Animal Breeding |
1. Jersery is the best exotic breed for crossbreeding in Konkan region. The level of exotic inheritance should be 50% |
|
|
IV. Technology of milk and milk products |
1. Zero energy cool chamber is a low cost, easily practicable method at village level for milk preservation. 2. Bhendi (Abelmoschus esculentus) and Drumstick (Moringa ileifera) can be used in the form of plant gums as a 3. Preparation of novelty milk products (ice cream, Shrikhand, Milk Pudding etc.) using locally available fruit and tubers. |
