“…Forages comprise up to 40 to 100% of the cattle diet and are vital for maintaining health and productivity of animal (Prins and Kreulen, 1991). The higher the fiber content of the forage materials, the lower is the digestibility and the nutritive value (Baset et al, 2002;Mazed et al, 2004;Refat and Yu, 2016). However, fiber plays a important role in rumen development and voluntary feed intake (Khan et al, 2011).…”

The study was conducted to find out the effect of beef cattle diet on the performance of upgraded Holstein Friesian bulls at BAPARD cattle farm in Bangladesh. For this purpose, twelve Local x Holstein-Friesian upgraded bulls (L×F) of average 20 months of age and 213 kg live weight were divided into three equal groups. Three different diets such as (i) a mixed concentrate ration (T1), (ii) mixed concentrate ration and UMS at a ratio of 1:1 on DM basis (T2) and (iii) green Grass based ration without concentrate and UMS. The results found that the average daily live weight gains of three groups was 350g, 330g and 340g respectively, which were not differ significantly (P<0.05). Daily DM intake was significantly higher in T3 but the digestibility found lower than other treatments. In case of feed conversion ratio (FCR), the highest FCR was found in T1 (2.96) but cost of per kg live weight gain was the lowest in T3 (BDT 90) compared to T1 (BDT 140) and T2 (BDT 142). Therefore, considering the FCR and cost of per unit beef production, a beef diet of green grass might be the appropriate diet for the floodplains area for Local x Holstein-Friesian upgraded bulls.

“…One of these processes is urea treatment of the straw. It is very much effective in cattle growth and also for fattening (Baset et al, 2002;Mazed et al, 2004;Kawsar et al, 2006;Sarkar et al, 2008). Cattle need minimum of 16% CP in their ration for their optimum growth, production, and reproduction (NRC, 1990).…”

“…There is a scarcity of green grass and rice straw might be the major feed resource for the livestock production in Bangladesh (Molla et al, 2009). Straw can be used through urea treatment along with molasses that increase the digestibility of straw and very much effective for the growth and also for fattening (Baset et al, 2002;Mazed et al, 2004;Kawsar et al, 2006;Sarkar et al, 2008). Carbohydrates represent the most dominant fractions of cattle diets such as starch, cellulose, hemicellulose, pectin, arabans and xylans (Allen and Piantoni, 2014;Das et al, 2015).…”

The study was conducted to find out the effect of beef cattle diet on the performance of upgraded Shahiwal bulls at Bangabandhu Academy for Poverty Alleviation and Rural Development (BAPARD) cattle farm in Gopalganj. For this purpose, twelve local x Shahiwal upgraded bulls (L×SH) of average 19 months of age and 169 kg live weight were divided into three equal groups. Three different rations such as: a mixed concentrate ration (T 1 ), mixed concentrate ration and urea molasses straw (UMS) at a ratio of 1:1 on dry matter basis (T 2 ) and green grass (pakchong) based ration without concentrate and UMS (T 3 ) were selected for this experiment. Upgraded bulls were randomly distributed into 3 groups for 3 above different rations. The results found that the average daily live weight gains of three groups was 320g, 315g and 314g respectively, which were not differ significantly (P<0.05). Daily DM intake was significantly higher in T 3 (8.1 g/head/day) compared to T 1 and T 2 (P<0.05), but the digestibility found lower than other treatments. Feed conversion ratio (FCR) was significant higher in T 1 (2.63) but interestingly, cost of per kg live weight gain was the lowest in T 3 (85 BDT) compared to other two treatments (P<0.05). Therefore, considering the above factors, it might be stated that a beef ration only with green grass would be the appropriate diet for the floodplains area for local x Shahiwal upgraded bulls.

“…In rural areas, beef fattening is practiced as a subsidiary enterprise in addition to crop production. The cattle management practices including feeding, housing, breeding practices including artificial insemination, health care including cleaning and sanitation activity, marketing of beef cattle and manure management are being done directly by rural people (Barman et al, 2017;Kawsar et al, 2006;Mazed et al, 2004;Rahman et al, 2002;Islam et al, 2004;Sarkar et al, 2008;Sarker et al, 2018;Quddus and Rahman, 1998). Beef fattening enterprise provide additional income and gainful employment to the members of the family throughout the year are being practiced by rural people.…”

The study was aimed to assess the socio economic status of livestock farmers and ongoing beef fattening practices at some selected areas of Rangpur district of Bangladesh. The study was carried out through a structured questionnaire among 45 selected farmers during February to May, 2020.Parameters studied were the farmers age, level of education, occupation, household size, land size, source of capital, family income from cattle fattening, farm size, net income from cattle fattening, problems regarding cattle fattening. It was found from the study that the respondents were aged from 25 to 60 years and most of them were male. Majority of the farmers (44%) farmers belong to middle-aged category compared to young (31%) and old aged (24%) farmers. Majority of the farmers family size were small (42%). It was found that the majority of the marginal farmers engaged in beef fattening (46%). About 47% beef fattening farmers had primary education followed by SSC level education (24%) and 16% farmers had no education. About 56% farmers used own capital for fattening, while 33,7 and 4% farmers got loan from NGO, other people and bank respectively. Majority of the farmers (42%) reared 2-5 beef cattle and the herd size was found reciprocal with number of farmers. Most of the farmers (44%) reared indigenous bulls compared to crossbred (24%) and mixture of both (31%). A significant number of farmers reared uncastrated bulls (89%) and nobody reared cow or heifer for fattening. Majority of the farmers' fattened cattle only before Eid-ul-Adha (58%) and only 24% farmer fattened cattle round the year and the rest of the farmers practiced seasonal fattening. Majority of the beef fattened farmers used the cow dung as fuel (44%) rather than other beneficial utilization. Compost and vermicompost production practices were done by 22 and 2% farmers, respectively in the study area. Therefore, it would be stated that rural people had a great contribution on beef production in Bangladesh.
