FEEDING OF REPLACEMENT STOCK
|
-
Feeding of such stock is adjusted so as to reach the sexual maturity and desirable body weight at 1 year of age.
-
The desirable body weight at one year for smaller breeds is 15-18 kg. Where as for larger breeds it is 20-25 kg.
-
When sufficient good quality pasture is available for grazing, no supplementary feeding with concentrates is desirable, where as during lean period about 250-500 g of concentrate mixture with 10-12% DCP and 68-70% TDN should be given to replacement stock.
-
The concentrate mixture should be necessarily supplemented with mineral mixture or otherwise mineral licks should be provided in shed.
