Abstract
The present investigation was carried out to study the existing feeding practices and its storage space in Gaushalas. The data collected from 30 Gaushalas were divided into three categories: small (T1), medium (T2) and large size (T3) Gaushalas. The obtained finding showed that the availability of green fodders was significantly (P<0.05) higher in T3 Gaushalas as compared to T1 Gaushalas.The concentrate mixture was offered to milch cow was significantly (P<0.05) higher in T3 Gaushalas (1.65±0.11 kg/cow) as compared to T2 and T1 Gaushalas (1.29±0.10 and 0.70±0.12). Percentage of shortfall of storage space for dry fodders was highest in T1 Gaushala (-57.29%,) while percentage of shortfall of storage space for concentrate mixture was higher in T3 Gausalas (-30.61%) than T2Gaushalas (-16.90%). It could be concluded that the better feeding practices and also better availability of storage facilities (dry fodder) is present in T3 Gaushalas.
