Fattening potential • A research study was conducted at LPRI Bahadurnagar Okara to find out the potential, growth rate, economic production and carcass composition of different breeds of buffalo and cattle. In this study sahiwal, crossbred, nondescript, buffalo, cholistani and dajal were studied and given group numbers I to VI. Ten calves in each group were fattened with control ration for 90 days. The results are

37. Research studies on growth rate and fattening potential of goats A research study was conducted to find out growth rate and fattening potential of the goats. Three goat breeds Beetal, Dera Din Panah and Teddy were studied for effect of intensive feeding on growth and carcass characteristics. 30 goats were divided in three groups and were given ration containing 12.20 % CP for 60, 120 and 180 days. Results were as
