Abstract/ Executive Summary:

The trial was conducted at Bangladesh Livestock Research Institute (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 the different treatment groups. Biomass yield (t/ha) was in order of biogas slurry (26.80)> fertilizer (26.56)> broiler litter (22.34)>layer litter (22.20). This study 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 a significant (P<0.01) difference among the treatment group. The highest cost (15856Tk/ha) was observed in the 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 the nutritive value of BLRI Napier-4. It may be suggested that biogas slurry may be used as source of fertilizer for fodder cultivation.

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 methods of AOAC (1995). The acid detergent fibre (ADF) was determined according to Goering and Van Soest (1970). 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) (Duncan, 1955).
