Foreword

The Agriculture and Food Security Project (AFSP) is being implemented by the Ministry of Agricultural Development following a Grant Agreement between the World Bank and Government of Nepal on April 30, 2014. The project duration is of five years and is being implemented in 19 hills and mountains districts of Mid-western and Far-western region of the country. These two development regions are relatively weak food security and nutrition related indicators. The Government of Nepal received 46.5 million USD grant assistance from Global Agriculture Food Security Program (GAFSP) to comprehensively address the food and nutrition insecurities

Household food insecurity due to low agricultural productivity, limited livelihood opportunities, insufficient food distribution system, weak market linkages, poor infrastructure and lack of awareness about healthy food habits are some of the development challenges related to food and nutrition security of the country.

The overall objective of the project is to enhance food and nutritional security of targeted communities in selected locations of Nepal. The project has four closely interrelated components namely a) Technology Development and Adaptation b) Technology Dissemination and Adoption c) Food and Nutrition Status Enhancement d) Project Management. The project is implemented primarily through MoAD and MoHP structures. Component one is solely implemented by NARC. Similarly, component two activities are implemented by respective DADO and DLSO offices in the project districts under DoA and DLS for crop related and livestock interventions respectively. The RDA and RDLS are responsible monitoring of the project activities and coordinate planning and reporting of project progress. The CHD under MoHP has the responsibility of developing BCC strategy, develop training manual and provide cascade training from center to field level. The Food Safety study, study on nutrition contents of the foodstuff is managed by the DFTQC. The TA agreement signed with FAO on January 22 2014 basically aims at utilizing technical assistance services through technical experts, import of germplasm for goat breed improvement and training of Farmers' Field School facilitators. Since fiscal year 2013/14 was the first year of implementation most of efforts were on developing guidelines and norms, conduct baseline, recruit human resources and orient stakeholders at districts, regions and centers about the project. Altogether 46 const centers were involved in implementation of project activities in 2013/14. Nearly, 70 percent of the total budget allocated was utilized and weighted progress remained close to 90 percent. In

promotion of diversified diets, increased nutrient intakes and improved feeding and caring practices for pregnant and nursing women and children up to 2 years of age. The project is being implemented by Ministry of Agriculture Development (MoAD) and Ministry of Health and Population (MoHP).

AFSP has four main interrelated components that contribute for the attainment of overall project objective.

1.3 PROJECT COMPONENTS

Component 1: Technology Development and Adaptation

This component supports in the development of appropriate technologies and resources (improved seeds and breeds) for project area farmers to increase productivity of crops and livestock. This component has two sub components: (i) development of improved production technologies for Crops, and (ii) development of improved production technologies for Livestock.

The crop sub-component comprises of various research activities such as; varietal selection, development, maintenance and production of source seeds upon field validation. The livestock sub-component comprises of improving breeding stock for goat and poultry production program, and development of improved technology packages. Additionally the project will also develop and validate crop and livestock development technologies and management practices for project area farmers.

Component 2: Technology Dissemination and Adoption

This component supports for enabling farmers of project area to adopt improved agricultural production technologies and management practices. The component has three sub-components: (i) support for crop production (ii) support for livestock production and (iii) institutional strengthening for extension and outreach.

Support for crop production sub component includes activities for disseminating technologies on improved varieties and management practices, on-farm water management and farm level post harvest value addition. Similarly, support for livestock production sub component comprises of various activities on rural poultry promotion, meat and dairy goat development and dairy cattle/buffalo development depending upon feasibility and farmers preferences.

Component 3: Food and Nutritional Status Enhancement

This component supports for enhancing food and nutrition security in project areas through increased household level food availability, promotion of diversified diets and improved feeding and caring practices for pregnant and nursing women and children between 6-24 months of age. The component comprises of activities that leverage key entry points in the agriculture sector to improve nutritional status, as well as through strengthening and supporting to implement nutrition interventions in project areas. This component has three sub-components, namely: (i) Enhancing food availability for targeted households and alleviating seasonal food shortages (ii) Improving feeding and caring practices by; promoting Behavior Change Communications (BCC); providing nutrition education to farmers groups; (iii) Institutional strengthening and capacity building by; equipping nutrition laboratories and training of frontline extension workers on pro-nutrition actions.

Component 4: Project Management

This component focuses on to ensure that (i) interventions undertaken are properly planned, coordinated and aligned with project design and development objectives; (ii) implementation and institutional arrangements and activities are in line with relevant fiduciary and safeguards policies, procedures and standards; and (iii) there is due monitoring, oversight and reporting of project implementation and the resulting outputs and outcomes.

3.1.1 Crop

From the above table, it can be seen that 3 varieties (2 wheat varieties suitable for mid hills and 1 potato variety) have been released against target of releasing 2 varieties (details are given in foot note 2) whereas in regards to progress on field trials, 308 field trials have been conducted against target of 200 trials. The details of field trials are provided in the foot note (3). Likewise, 4.48 MT of breeder seed and 56.6 MT of foundation seed (including 7000 Pre Basic Potato tubers) has been produced attaining annual target of 192% and 85.9% respectively. Produced breeder seed include various crops like rice, wheat maize, barley, beans, soybean, mustard, lentil, vegetables, black-gram and buckwheat. Details of breeder seed and foundation seed production is provided in annex-3 and annex-2 respectively. In RARS, Doti an irrigation schemes has also been constructed in the research center which will be helpful to increase source seed production as this is the only NARC station in far-western region.

3.1.2 Livestock

Four on farm trials on goat were carried in this year. These trials include comparison of stall feeding against free grazing goats. The trialed technology still needs to be verified in the project districts before dissemination at farmer level. Similarly, samples of feeds and fodder species were collected from project districts and laboratory analysis are being carried out to develop complete feeding package for stall feeding for goats (Annex 18). Likewise, trials were conducted on Silvi-pasture model for the project districts and improved health management practices for goat. Silvi-pasture research revealed that all experimented three perennial species of grass (Guinea grass, Molasses and Signal) can be successfully grown in all types of shade levels (none, light, medium and heavy shades). Further, the trial showed that the signal grass performed better compared to other species trialed in Rai Khanayo based silvipasture system of Agro forestry. (Refer to Annex 18 for detail).

Regarding health management practices, drenching schedule for effective control of internal parasites in goats has been developed. For therapeutic control of prevalent Khari disease of buffalo in the project area, Pentasulphate supplement was recommended from previous researches, however, further small trials needed to be conducted to make pentasulphate more palatable and acceptable to the animals (details provided in Annex 18).

Different activities were carried out for the development of improved poultry production technologies (on farm validation) that includes collection of locally available feed ingredients from project districts and lab analysis to determine nutrient level; seed multiplication of comfrey grass (details provided on footnote 4 and 5). In addition, the layer stock of 300 New Hampshire and 200 Giriraja chicken are being maintained on SARP farms. The eggs laid or chicken produced from the stock can be used any time, for rural poultry program under AFSP. The breeds that are being maintained are from SARP old stock; however, some breed improvement programs on those breeds are also going on. A Breed Improvement plan has been developed for Giriraja chicken, based on that research are going to be conducted by early 2015. Regarding New Hamphsire breed, production performance records were collected from different NARC research stations and going to collect from DLS farms soon, which will be used to prepare breed improvement plan of New Hamphsire.

on fodder and forage availability collected from project districts to develop complete feeding package for stall feeding for goats. Silvi-pasture model have been packaged for the field verification and dissemination in the project districts pg 7 table 1 While it is pleasing to see that initial steps have been made to test technologies under controlled NARC environment, as noted, the technology can only be included as achieved when it is assessed under field conditions.

4 Collection of locally available feed ingredients from Bajhang and Jajarkot completed and analyzed in lab; Seed of comfrey grass has been multiplied at nursery at SARP in 800m2 area; A stock of 300 poultry birds of Giriraja and New Hampshire breeds have been maintained at SARP

5 Available goat health technologies have been packaged for the field verification and dissemination in the project districts

Annual Progress Report | 2013/14

During the second implementation support mission of World Bank, technical specifications and sanitary requirements for the import of semen (goat, buffalo), live goats and fertile eggs were discussed. The technical specifications have been approved from technical committee of the Department of Livestock services. Environment Management Framework for importation of exotic breeds (Boer and Sannen) have been prepared and got approval from MoAD. Similarly, import permission and health certification requirements and other necessary arrangements for the imports of semen and live goats were processed to facilitate import of germplasm. A total of 5710 dose of frozen semen (2500 dose of Saanen and 3210 of Boer) will arrive in early September and stored at Animal Breeding Division (ABD), Khumaltar and will used for AI in the project districts. Another purchase order of 1890 doses of frozen semen of Boer goats, 175 live Boer goats and 50 live Sannen goats have already been made and most likely to delivered by the end of December 2014. Remaining 95 Boer goats will be made available by June 2015. In regards to the import of fertile eggs of New Hampshire, so far no progress has been made because of unavailability in the countries explored so far.

Altogether 11 staff (7 technical officers and 4 technical assistants) have been recruited by NARC to support AFSP implementation at NARC stations as well as on farm validation/ testing of technologies. Refer to annex-17 for detail of NARC staff recruitment. These stations and programs are; (RARS, Nepalgunj; RARS, Doti; ARS, Vijayanagar, Jumla; ARS, Rajikot, Jumla; SGRP, Guthichaur, Jumla; ARS, Dailekh; ARS, Surkhet; NGRP, Salyan). It is expected that additional staff provision will help to effectively implement and report project activities and also to support DADOs and DLSO on field level demonstration to be aligned with farmers' field schools.

1.2 PROGRESS MADE ON Component Two: Technology Dissemination and Adoption

Progress made on component 2 during FY 2070/71 ( July 16, 2013 to July 15, 2014) is presented in this chapter. This component comprises of technology dissemination support for both for crop and livestock.

has been presented to the Project Technical Coordination Committee and will be submitted to Project Steering Committee for approval.

3.4.1 Developing Project Management Information System (PMIS)

A ToR has been developed to recruit a consulting firm for developing PMIS software. Financial Management Information System (FMIS) will be part of the PMIS. After review of ToR the World Bank has already provided NOL to go ahead with the remaining process. Need for required data for PMIS have been assessed in consensus of respective AFSP implementing agencies and Draft Data collection Form have been prepared and shared with concerned stakeholders. These formats will be finalized upon the on board of PMIS team.

3.4.2 Study visit of AFSP team to Rwanda

A four member team comprising of chairperson of PTCC Dr. Rajendra Adhikari, Joint secretary of MoAD, Shyam Prasad Poudyal Project Director, Pashupati Pokhrel, Planning Officer and Basant Adhikari, Senior Public Health Officer of MoHP participated the DIME workshop at Kigali from June 16 to June 20. After the Impact Evaluation workshop which has the theme of Agriculture innovation, team visited GAFSP supported Land Husbandry, Hillside Irrigation and Watershed management project from June 21 to 25.

Integration of irrigation, improved crop production and community mobilization for sustainable land management was found very impressive. Access to service and credit to farmers' cooperative was remarkable.

3.4.3 Study visit of Integrated Agriculture Productivity Project, Bangladesh

A twenty member team led by Mr. Uttam Kumar Bhattarai, Joint secretary, MoAD completed a week long study visit of GAFSP supported IAPP in Bangladesh from 16 .July to 22 July, 2014. The objective of the visit was to learn from the experiences of GAFSP supported projects. IAPP was in operation in early 2012 almost one year before AFSP, therefore IAPP experiences particularly on crop related interventions both on technology development, dissemination and large scale demonstrations would be useful for our context as well. Team members comprised of NARC scientists, DFTQC focal officer for AFSP, DADO and DSLO officers working in the project districts. The team visited project sites and also held extensive interaction with senior officials of the project, Department of Agriculture Extension, Bangladesh Agriculture Research Institute.

It was clearly observed from the visit that irrigation and agriculture mechanization aspects were given prime importance in IAPP. Besides this, the annual program is provisioned to be approved by project steering committee in Bangladesh which reduce the substantial time in approval of work plan as compare to Nepal.

Annual Progress Report | 2013/14

The second implementation support mission was fielded from May 26 to June 6 2014. The mission reviewed the overall progress status of the project implementation, visited project sites in Surkhet and Dailekh districts and had detailed interaction with farmers, field technicians, DPSU coordinators. The Aide Memoire of second ISM has listed the agreed actions with timeline and responsibility.

The overall status of agreed actions is on right track. However, some of the actions have been delayed and missed the agreed timeline. Project management has consistently reminded the responsible agency to speed up their actions.

Engagement of consulting firm for BCC strategy development is delayed. The internal decision making process within DoHS was slow. The issue has been raised with the Secretary of MoHP and DG of DoHS at the time of review mission. Similarly, some delay on PMIS software development was encountered mainly due to the provisions of public procurement act and regulations. The cost estimate of more than one million (NRs.) has to be approved from the secretary of the respective ministry. In addition to that, MoF instruction regarding software development, ToR evaluation criteria needs to be reviewed and NOL should be secured from Department of Information Technology before the consulting firm is hired.

Although the recruitment of technical officers (agriculture, livestock and nutrition) has completed and their placement in project district through FAO is initiated, the recruitment of village level technicians and project facilitators has been delayed due to FAO's internal process. Since project is already in second year of implementation, it is very important to recruit and field project facilitators and crop and livestock technicians for effective service delivery at grassroots level.

Specifically, following agreed actions have been completed;

a) Development of integrated work plan of crop, livestock and nutrition interventions of the projectb) Approval of guidelines on nutrition garden, goat, dairy and poultry activitiesc) Comments on DIME baseline report d) Clarification to research stations on proper process of varietal selection, dissemination procedures or

guidelines for conducting IPM, FAT, FFT and PVS to all research stations, review of tests proposed by research stations.

e) Deployment of socio-economist and breeder to NARC stations.f ) Issue circular for dissemination of varieties/ technology/management practice released by NARCg) Submission of draft Inception Report by TA (FAO)h) Approval of protocols for importing live animalsi) Procurement of laboratory equipment and chemicals by DFTQCj) Submission of withdrawal for timely replenishment to designated account by PMU

There were altogether 46 cost centers (DADO-19, DLSO-19, RDA-2, RDLS-2, NARC-1, DFTQC-1, CHD-1, PMU-1) engaged in implementation of AFSP activities. Total incurred expenditure of AFSP in FY 2013/14 is about 299.67 Million NPR, which is about 69.% of annual budget. Expenditure incurred by different categories in FY 2013/14 is presented in following diagram:

The details of expenditure by category in each trimester are presented in table 8. In terms of percentage of expenditure, it was nearly 58 percent in third trimester. It was mainly due to completion of delayed interventions of first and second trimester towards end of the fiscal year. Payment to FAO for the mobilization of their TA services was also done in third trimester. Moreover, the procurement activities were completed and delivery of goods and services were made during third trimester. The total disbursement percentage is 11.29 percent till July 31, 2014.

Annual Progress Report | 2013/14

FAO organized an inception workshop on May 26, 2014 to coincide with the second implementation support mission of the World Bank. FAO TA team has set up their office at AFSP PMU after recruitment of Team Leader and other consultants (Agriculture Specialist, Livestock Specialist, Nutrition Specialist, Monitoring and Evaluation Specialist, Environment Specialist, Training Specialist) in April 2014. As per the feedback received during inception workshop and also in line with the agreed action of the last mission, their input was primarily focused on developing integrated work plan on major project interventions related to crop, livestock, nutrition and environment and social management framework, monitoring and evaluation, finance and procurement management etc. The development of integrated work plan jointly was a very useful exercise as multiple agencies are involved in implementation and output of one component becomes input for another component. It was also useful in clarifying the roles and responsibilities by activities among major actors PMU, FAO TA, NARC, CHD, DFTQC etc.Another important area FAO TA contributed is the development of FFS facilitators for the smooth implementation of farmers' field schools. Technical backstopping was provided to conduct two batch of Training of Farmer Facilitators (crop) at Sundarpur and Nepalgunj. Refresher training of technicians and farmers along with development of curriculum for MTOT both on crop and livestock (goat and poultry) has been initiated. Similarly, preparation for development of project monitoring and evaluation strategy is also in the process which is expected to support project management information system design. Preparation for import of germplasm (mainly live goat and semen) for breed development, assessment of readiness in accepting and maintaining imported stocks at government farms as well as preparedness at multiplier herd (farmers level) are being done periodically. NARC and PMU team (including FAO TA) visited potential sites within and outside project districts to assess the technical and managerial feasibility of goat breed development. Approval of protocols for import of live animals was also completed. In compliance to EMF of AFSP, Environment Management Plan (EMP) for the importation of genetic material has been prepared and approved by Agricultural and Development (MoAD) and obtained concurrence of World bank on 9th May 2014. Similarly, Environmental and social screening checklists have been prepared for AFSP sub projects and finalized with World Bank. In order to streamline environmental and social safeguard in AFSP activities from central level to district level, Terms of reference (ToR) for Project Environment and Social Management Committee (PESMC) and District Environment and Social Management Committee (DESMC) have been prepared and shared with World Bank and Project management Unit.

Annual Progress Report | 2013/14

In some of the project districts, DADO or DLSO in-charge working as DPSU coordinators have been transferred. It will affect to some extent the pace of implementation as institutional memory will be weak.

There is provision for import of germplasm mainly breeding goats, buffalo and goat semen, forage seeds and fertile eggs of dual purpose poultry for the breed improvement program. The reliable source for the supply of New Hampshire breed (one of the suitable breeds of backyard poultry for the project area) seems uncertain. When potential supplier were contacted and inquired about the number of fertile eggs required for the project (by FAO Livestock Specialist), it was found that it is less likely to obtain the required number as these breeds are limited to few family farms or conservation farms. There is a need to identify the suitable alternative as early as possible to substitute the import of New Hampshire eggs. One of the options could be to continue with the exiting breeding stock available with NARC and DLS farms.

The unit cost allocated in project cost table needs updating while planning activities for the annual work plan. The provision of cost for the purchase of goat (both breeding buck and doe), support for construction of goat shed and buffalo shed (for demonstration), importation of germplasm, vehicle, implementation of Farmers Field School MTOT are lower than the prevailing market price and needs to be revised. For some of the activities planned for this year, review and discussion at Project Technical Committee has been initiated.

There is need to redefine the cost category and make necessary readjustment so that FMR preparation (for the expenses made under different components) could be made consistent and expenditures could be traced, compiled and collated more efficiently. Suitable category for procurement of seed, animal/bird, materials, labour, tools/equipment for conducting research trails at stations and at farmers' field under NARC has been not very clear and should be consistent across different components.

Delay in recruitment of consulting firm for BCC study and PMIS development due to lengthy procedure needs to be speeded up.

ANNEX 15: STUDY REPORT OF NUTRITIVE VALUE ANALYSIS OF LOCALLY AVAILABLE FOODS AND RECIPE DEVELOPMENT

Food and Nutrition Study (Report of field and laboratory related activities in DFTQC)

With the support of Agriculture and Food Security Project of Government of Nepal, different activities related to food and nutrition is carried out in national nutrition program of Department of Food Technology and Quality Control. The activities are summarized below.

15.1 Nutritive Value Analysis

In order to collect nutrition information of food available to project areas, field visits were conducted. Altogether 95 samples from different foods i.e. cereal (33), legumes/pulses (45), fruits (3), nuts/oilseeds (8) and vegetables (5) sam-ples samples were collected from seven project districts namely Doti, Accham, Salyan, Pyuthan, Dolpa, Jumla, Mugu. The nutritive value of each sample was analyzed in the nutrition laboratory at DFTQC. The nutrition parameters analyzed were moisture, total ash, fat, protein, carbohydrate, crude fiber, energy, iron, phosphorus and vitamin C.

The objective of carrying out nutrition value analysis were-• to know nutritive value of food grown particularly to project area are still unknown• to investigate the nutritive value of new food items available in that particular area only.• to select nutritious food for the preparation of weaning food

Laboratory Analysis resultBased on nutritive value analysis of 95 food samples, the following are the important points generated in this study. The detail of the analysis result is included in later part of this report.

� Some food products are nutritionally rich in terms of energy (Energy range 300 KCal to 575 KCal per 100 gram of food)

• Cannabis plant (Bhango) 543, Wallnut (Okhar) 655 Kcal, Soybean 391 Kcal, Prinsepia utilis (Dhatelo) 332 Kcal, Bean (Dalle simi) 370 Kcal

� Protein rich food products are (protein range 20 gm/100gm to 50 gm/100gm)• Bean (Simi) 25.9 gm, Maseuro 28, , Prinsepia utilis (Dhatelo) 24gm, Green gram (Green mung) 23, soya bean 49 gm

� Micronutrients rich especially Iron rich food products are (range 8 mg to 16 mg /100gm)• Horse gram (Gahat) 14mg, Bean (laure simi) 9.5mg, latte 12mg barley 9mg, Buckwheat (phapar) 10mg

Field Observation• Field observation findings are included in BCC message in annex 1.

15.2 Recipe DevelopmentFour preparation methods were included in the process flow. They were weaning food, whole multigrain flour, stinging nettle soup Sisnuko soup (Stinging nettle' soup). There are thirteen different recipe suggested so far which are nutritious for vulnerable group. All recipes are nutritionally sound. The nutritive value of each recipe was analyzed in the labora-tory.

15.3 Cooking Practice and Nutrition Loss Study:

In order to know the cooking practices and possibility of nutrition losses during handling and processing of food, field visits were done in different districts. The findings from individual district are attached in a separate questionnaire.

The following observations are made during the field visit. The important findings from study on cooking practice and nutrition loss study are:

1. Even the production of rice in the local area is less; people have habit of consuming rice. Other grains should also be encouraged. Consumption of multigrain flour needs to promote in these areas.

2. Polishing is high in rice in local areas where there is more loss of B Vitamins. This needs to be advocated to discourage excessive polishing, especially to rice millers.

3. Seasonal fruits and vegetables preservation practices such as fermentation, drying, picking are less.4. People are generally consuming only rice, pulses and curry. This is not a balanced diet. Promotion of micronu-

trients rich food is essential. 5. Excessive washing of rice is a problem. Advocacy to avoid excessive washing is essential. Use of cooking water

in vegetables/pulses will be helpful to retain nutrient loss.6. Use of iron vessel for cooking food helps to enhance iron content of food. People are less aware on it.7. Practice of washing after cutting in vegetables is very high. This needs to be discouraged.8. Use of pressure cooked for cooking food is very less in Karnali region. Pressure cooker helps to minimize cook-

ing time and conserve nutrients in the food.9. Phoda/rock salt is still use in some areas. It is kept nearby cooking fire area. This leads to evaporation of iodine

from salt. This should be avoided.10. Meat, milk, egg consumption frequency is less. This results especially Vitamin B12 deficiency. Need to encourage

it for children, pregnant and lactating mothers.11. Fruits consumption practice is rare.12. In order to make yoghurt, animal milk in some cases not boiled. This may endanger and leads to transmission

of zoonotic diseases.13. Lemon/lime juice is added to pickles during cooking. It should be added at the end of cooking.14. People are less informed of nutrients losses during food processing.

Annex 18 : DETAILS OF LIVESTOCk RESEARCH

• Improved production technologies for goat (on-farm validation- Goat)For improved production technologies for goats activities such as analysis of available feeds and fodder from project districts, increasing availability of forage by utilizing silvi- pasture, horto-pasture and alley cropping methods to meet the demand of introduced Boer goats are being conducted.

Supplementary nutrition, particularly of protein and minerals rich feeds and fodder will be recommended for increasing growth rate and prolificacy of goat after analysis of the samples of fodder and feeds from the project area.

Increasing availability of the forage to meet increased forage demand for introduced Boer goat breeds by utilizing silvi pasture (suitable forage crops under fodder trees) and hortopasture (forage under apple, apricot orchard in high hills/ mountain) and alley cropping of Berseem with Banana (Inner Terai, low hills)

Banana Berseem alley cropping has been found to be very effective (RARS, Khajura), while signals grass under fodder was found productive in Bandipur condition (can produce under shade of fodder trees)

• Fodder analysis and forage availability in the project districts

The information and sample collection of the feeding resources including fodders for the year round was conducted in Sur-khet and Dailekh district. The samples included the fodders used year round and feed resources year round .The samples are being analyzed in the laboratories for the nutrient analysis.

The samples were collected from Dailekh and Surkhet district from the following 8 farmers groups

1. Sirjanshil Bakhrapalan Samuha , Kal Bhairab VDC, Dailekh2. Pragatisil Bakhrapalan Samuha Kal Bhairab VDC, Dailekh3. Bhairabsthan Bakhrapalan Samuha , Gamauthi VDC, Dailekh4. Unnatishil Bakhrapalan Samuha Gamauthi VDC, Dailekh5. Chiuribhyanjang Bakhrapalan Samuha , Babiyachaur VDC- Surkhet6. Panchtale Gupha Bakhrapalan Samuha, Salkot VDC, Surkhet7. Panchakoshi Bakhrapalan Samuha , Bidhyapur VDC-,Surkhet8. Kalbhairab Bakhrapalan Samuha, Bidhyapur VDC-,Surkhet SurkhetSampled collected Fodder Species : Chiuri, Bedulo, Mel, Khirro, Chutro, Simtaro, Khanayo, Timilo, Kutmiro, Chidu, Dubo, Khari, Tasor, Paiyu, Simali, Dudhilo, Gathi, Khasreti, Gidari and others.

Feed samples collected: Maize, barley, wheat, rice, millet, soy, rice husk, black gram, chick pea, pea and lentil.

The results of laboratory analysis will be used for year round feed formulation and year round fodder supply.

• Summary of Silvipasture Model Development

Cultivation of some tree fodders in farmlands is the common practice of farmers in the mid-hills of Western Nepal. Rai Khanayo (Ficus semicordata) is one of the most popular tree fodders in this agro-ecological region. In order to select the better fodder species for Rai Khanayo based silvipasture system, an experiment was carried out in the premise of Agricultural Research Station (Goat) from June 2010 to October 2011 in a split plot design with three replications. Different shade levels (none, light, medium and heavy shades) maintained by pruning of fodder trees were main plots and four perennial fodder species were sub-plots. The sub-plots in the experiments were Guinea grass (Panicum maximum Jacq.), Setaria (Setaria anceps Stapf.), Molasses (Melinis minutiflora P. Beauv.) and Signal grass (Brachiaria decumbens Stapf.). Two harvests in winter and summer were taken and dry matter (DM) content was analyzed in the lab. The effect of different levels of shade on plant height and number of tillers plant-1 were not found significant (p>0.05). But, the difference in plant heights and number of tillers plant-1 were highly significant for different fodder species. The interaction effects of shade levels with fodder species were also non-significant (p>0.05) for plant height and number of tillers plant-1. Similarly, the dry matter yield was significantly higher (p<0.05) for open condition compared with all shade levels. Likewise, Signal had yielded the highest (P<0.001) dry matter yield (9.77 t ha-1) in comparison to other three fodder species. The interaction effects of shade levels with different species on dry matter yield was observed highly significant (p<0.001). The experiment showed that dry matter yield of all the fodder species were influenced by shade effect. Signal grass performed better compared to other species trialed in the Rai Khanayo based silvipasture system

• Health Management Package  

Drenching schedule for effective control of internal parasites in goats has been developed. The recommended strategy (monthly during rainy season as well as once before Monsoon and once after monsoon will be verified in the project districts) .

FAMACHA color chart (either imported or printed within the country) will be utilized for training farmers of the project districts to evaluate extent of the Haemonchus infection in goats and to take remedial measures.

Pentasulphate supplement as therapeutic control of Khari disease of buffaloes prevalent in the far western hill districts has been recommended. However, there has been found to be some palatability problem. Small trial will be conducted to make pentasul-phate more palatable and acceptable to the animals.

Thermo stable vaccine has been found effective to control Ranikhet disease in poultry birds and is of great significance in rural part of the country without electricity. This will be validated in the project districts.
