2017
- How energy retention in animal body is measured by Carbon-Nitrogen balance study? How it differs from that of comparative slaughter method?
- Discuss in brief about the various systems of expressing the energy value of feeds and energy requirements in swine.

- Grass staggers and Blind Staggers.
- Net protein utilization and net protein value.
- Flushing and steaming-up.
- What are the common sources of calcium and phosphorus? How high intake of calcium affects the utilization of other minerals? Explain, how ‘Nutritional Secondary Hyperparathyroidism’ develops in animals?
- What points will you consider while formulating a ration for a dairy buffalo? A farmer gives 20 kg green maize (25% DM, 1.2% DCP and 16% TDN), 5 kg wheat straw (90% DM, 0% DCP and 40% TDN) and 4 kg concentrate mixture (90% DM, 14% DCP and 68% TDN) daily to a lactating buffalo weighing 450 kg and yielding 10 kg milk with 7% fat during her first lactation. The maintenance requirements in 280 kg DCP and 3.4 kg TDN, whereas the requirement for 1 kg milk production in 63 g DCP and 460 g TDN. Indicate the deficiency or excess of nutrients in terms of DCP and TDN.
- How will you develop a practical and economic ration for commercial broiler production?
2016
- Many non-nutritive substances are often being mixed in animal and poultry ration as growth-promoters. Discuss the uses and abuses of these growth-promoters.
- Why are broilers and layers fed different types of rations? What are the similarities and dissimilarities in these two rations?
- How will you design an economic ration of pigs for production of lean meat? Explain.
- What is silage? Discuss in brief about the anti-nutritional factors commonly found in animal feeds.
- Discuss at least two methods that are utilized in formulating animal rations.
