SELECTION AND PROCUREMENT OF ANIMALS FOR FATTENING
QUARANTINE
ANIMAL PREPERATION FOR FATTENING
FEEDS AND FEEDING SYETEMS
FEEDING SCHEDULE FOR FATTENING
ANIMAL PERFORMANCE AND RECORD KEEPING
Requirement of mutton is increasing day by day
Mutton Produced 782.1 Th Ton
To meet the high demand fattening is done to get mutton in a
short time with high marbling and increased palatability
Fattening also done before certain events such as Eid-ul-Fitr
and Eidul- Azha
Healthy & alert
Weight of animal
Condition of the Animal
Local breed
Age of the Animal
Castration
7-10 days
Identification
Vaccination
ET,PPR,FMD,Pleuropneumonia
Deworming
Dipping
Housing
Subsistence
Animals are tied during the day and put into a protective
shelter at night
Extensive
The flock/herd grazes over large areas of marginal land
Intensive
The animals are confined to yards and shelters and feed is
brought to the flock
Housing
3×4 F
Avoid over crowding
Slatted floors
Concrete floors
Dry regions
Shade is provided
Drinking water for animals
Proper drainage system
Adaption Period
Timing the start of animal on feed is critical
when started on feed, brought gradually from a high
roughage-low concentrate to a high concentrate-low
roughage ration over several weeks.
Series of rations that are changed every two to three days to
enable Animal to adapt to a high-concentrate ration within
15 to 20 days.

Best System for both spp. Is grazing with supplement
feeding of high energy concentrate ration
Consume 2 percent of their body weight dry matter
from the grazing
1.5-2.0 percent body weight from supplement
concentrate
Coccidiosis, ET, Acidosis and foot rot
Fed on total mixed ration having dry roughages and
concentrate with little supplemented green fodder
Concentrate ration +wheat straw in 60:40 ratio
CP=15% ,TDN= 65%
Conserve the energy
Feed additives
Green fodder ……………. vitamin
Concentrates are those feeds which are low in fibre and high in energy
And used for feedlot fattening
Maize, Barley, Oats, Sorghum, Bajra, Grams, beet pulp/beet
molasses and cane molasses……………….Energy
High digestible carbohydrates and have low content of
indigestible fibre
Protein content of cereals 8-10% and TDN 70-80%
Cottonseed Cake And Meal, Rapeseed Cake and Meal, Corn
Gluten Feed and Meal, Sunflower Meal, Linseed Meal, Sesame
Cake………………..Protein
Good quality feedstuff, which are palatable free from
fungus growth and any contaminations
Roughages are harvested at proper stage
Early hour of the day 50% of the daily requirement of the
concentrate i.e. 1%
Grazing for few hours so that animals can consume 2%
of their body weight green fodder
1% of the body weight of the concentrate ration is offered
in the evening in the shed
In TMR system
The fodder along with dry and/or green fodder is offered
twice a day along with concentrate ration
Free Access To Water
The following data is recorded to evaluate
the performance of the animals
Initial body weight at zero day of each

Fortnightly body weight during the period
of fattening of each
Average daily total feed offered
