OFT and FLD
The Livestock Production Department of KVK Pal (Jalgaon-I) conducts On-Farm Testing (OFT) and Front Line Demonstrations (FLD) to promote scientific livestock management practices. Major technologies include mineral mixture supplementation for lactating Murrah buffaloes, fungal bio-control agents for eco-friendly management of ticks and maggots in cattle, nutritional management of broiler poultry, and calcium-vitamin supplementation for post-parturient buffaloes. These interventions help improve milk production, animal health, reproductive performance, poultry productivity, and farmer income while promoting sustainable livestock farming practices.

Overview
The Livestock Production Department at KVK Pal conducts On-Farm Testing (OFT) and Front Line Demonstrations (FLD) to evaluate and demonstrate improved livestock management technologies focusing on mineral nutrition, parasite control, and post-parturition health management.
On-Farm Testing (OFT) Technologies
Evaluation of balanced mineral mixture supplementation for lactating Murrah buffaloes to improve milk production, reproductive efficiency, and overall animal health.
Expected Benefits:
- Increased milk yield and milk fat percentage
- Improved reproductive performance
- Reduced incidence of nutritional disorders
- Better overall animal health
Evaluation of fungal bio-control agents (entomopathogenic fungi) for eco-friendly management of ectoparasites including ticks and maggots in cattle.
Expected Benefits:
- Eco-friendly ectoparasite control
- Reduced chemical acaricide usage
- Lower risk of chemical residues in milk
- Sustainable parasite management
Front Line Demonstrations (FLD) Technologies
Demonstration of balanced feeding practices, feed formulation, and nutritional management strategies for improving broiler growth, feed conversion ratio, and profitability.
Expected Benefits:
- Improved body weight gain
- Better feed conversion efficiency
- Reduced production costs
- Higher profitability for poultry farmers
Demonstration of calcium and vitamin supplementation strategies for post-parturient buffaloes to prevent metabolic disorders like milk fever, improve uterine involution, and enhance milk production.
Expected Benefits:
- Prevention of milk fever and hypocalcemia
- Faster uterine involution
- Improved milk production post-calving
- Better reproductive performance
Technologies Summary
These technologies aim to improve livestock productivity, enhance animal health, and increase farmer income through scientific management practices.
Key Outcomes
- Improved Milk Production: Through mineral mixture and post-parturient calcium supplementation
- Eco-friendly Parasite Control: Fungal bio-control agents for sustainable ectoparasite management
- Better Poultry Productivity: Optimized nutritional management for broilers
- Enhanced Animal Health: Reduced metabolic disorders and nutritional deficiencies
- Increased Farmer Income: Higher productivity and reduced veterinary costs
