dc.description.abstractSix Gir heifers were divided into three groups on the nearness of age and weight. Treatments were studied namely T1 (Jowar straw + hybrid Napier + concentrate), T2 (50% Jowar straw + 50% Soybean straw + hybrid Napier + concentrate), T3 (50% Jowar straw + 50% Salt treated Soybean straw + hybrid Napier + concentrate) to fulfil the requirement of Gir heifer in all treatments. Dry, green fodder and concentrate mixture were provided per the thumb rule. Daily DM intake differed non-significantly between the treatments. The heifer from the T3 groups consumed more DM than that of T1 and T2 heifers. The average daily DM intake was 6.51, 6.68 and 7.05 kg/day/heifer in the T1 , T2 and T3 groups respectively. This trend thus indicated an increase in the daily DM intake when 2% salt-treated soybean straw and jowar straw were incorporated as roughage in the heifer rations. Weight gain per day was found higher in combination feeding of jowar and salt-treated soybean straw. All the heifers exhibited a satisfactory growth rate of 358 to 470 g per day and the differences were significant. It was concluded from all discussions over the experimental result that treatment T3 shows better and more desirable results as compared to T1 and T2 treatments. In T 3 treatment feeding of jowar straw, 2% salt-treated soybean straw, green fodder and concentrate not only fulfilled the nutrient requirement and growth of calves but also based on weight gain reduced the cost of feeding.en_US
