Description
/li>
This manual presents comprehensive information on the preparation and
feeding of milk replacers and starter feeds for pre-ruminants. It keeps in
view the situation prevailing in developing countries and the demand for
ruminant milk for human consumption. Although the substitutes for dam’s
milk can be prepared from by-products of milk and feed ingredients that
are not preferred for human consumption, awareness about such alternatives
is limited in many developing countries. Therefore, popularisation of
preparation and feeding of milk replacers and starter feeds using locally
available ingredients is useful in promoting survivability and growth of
young stock. The target audiences for this manual are livestock extension
workers engaged in developing countries. The manual is also useful for
students and teachers of ruminant production and for small scale
industries and researchers that wish to produce milk replacers and starter
feeds.
