DESIGN OF EXPERIMENT

Preparation of status report

The status report will be prepared on basis of

findings of the study. The data generated will be

used for documentation of the status report and

appropriate measures will be suggested.

Statistical Analysis

Statistical analysis of data will be done by using

Complete Randomized method described by

Snedecor and Cochran (1994).

Collaboration with other departments

Help from other departments like Veterinary

Biochemistry, Animal Nutrition and ARIS cell will be

taken as and when needed.
