Abstract
The goal of the current study was to compare the effects of grazing versus stall feeding on the hemato-biochemical variables of Sirohi doeling. The animals were randomly assigned to three groups: Intensive, Semi-intensive, and Extensive rearing groups. The mean values of red blood cell, haemoglobin, packed cell volume, glucose and total protein were significantly higher (p<0.05) in intensive rearing group as compared to semi-intensive and extensive rearing groups. The mean values of cholesterol, triglyceride, aspartate amino transferase and alanine amino transferase were significantly higher (p<0.05) in extensive rearing group as compared to intensive and semi-intensive groups, while the mean value of white blood cell was significantly differed (p<0.05) in all rearing groups of Sirohi Doelings. On the basis of the present study, it can be concluded that the Intensive rearing system is superior to Semi-intensive and Extensive rearing systems due to its significant advantageous effects on hemato-biochemical variables.
