Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The trial was conducted at BLRI regional station, Baghabari, Shajadpur, Sirajgonj to determine the biomass yield, morphological characteristics and nutritive value with the effect of different sources of organic manure such as biogas slurry, broiler litter and layer litter for fodder production. significant (P<0.05) difference was observed in biomass yield among different treatment group. Biomass yield (t/ha) was in order of biogas slurry (26.80)> fertilizer (26.56)> broiler litter (22.34)>layer litter (22.20). Table 1, also showed that DM yield and survival percentage were also significantly (P≤0.05) differed among the treatments. The DM% in all groups was mostly similar but DM yield (t/ha) was the highest (3.94) in biogas slurry and the lowest (3.13) in layer litter. The cost (Tk/ha) was significant (P<0.01) difference among the treatment group. The highest cost (15856Tk/ha) was observed in fertilizer group and the lowest (5705 Tk/ha) was biogas slurry group. There was no significant (p>0.01) effect of different organic manures on nutritive value of BLRI Napier-4. It may be suggested that biogas slurry may be used as sources of fertilizer for fodder cultivation.

Location: Baghabari milk shed area

End Date: 30-05-2014

Program Area: Food Safety and Security

Commodity: Fodder

Objectives:

To determine the biomass yield, morphological characteristics and nutritive value with the effect of different sources of organic manure such as biogas slurry, broiler litter and layer litter for fodder production in Baghabari milk shed areas.

Methodology:

Site of the experiment

The trial was conducted at BLRI regional station, Baghabari, Shajadpur, Sirajgonj

Fodder production trial

Sixteen trial plots of each size 5m X 5m and arranged in 4 blocks having homogenous soil characteristics. The plots were prepared by ploughing. There were four treatment group T₀ (fertilizer) as control, T₁ (biogas slurry), T₂ (broiler litter) and T₃ (layer litter). The BLRI Napier-4 fodder was propagated by stem cutting method. Line to line and plant to plant distance were 70 and 35 cm, respectively. First cut was made 55 days after the establishment.

Chemical analysis of samples

All the samples of feeds and faeces were prepared and sub-samples were used for analysis. The samples were subjected to chemical analysis for the determination of dry matter (DM), crude protein (CP) and ash following the standard methods. The acid detergent fibre (ADF) was determined. All the samples were analysed in duplicate and the mean values were recorded.

Statistical analysis

The statistical analysis was done using ‘SPSS 11.5’ statistical programme to compute analysis of variance (ANOVA) for randomized complete block design (RCBD). Differences among the treatment means were determined by Duncan′s Multiple range Test (DMRT).

Achievement/Findings:

The performance evaluation of different type’s organic manure on perform fodder production will be continued. Therefore, so far obtained revealed that biogas slurry may be used as sources of fertilizer for fodder cultivation in Baghabari milk shed area.
