Integrated Nutrient Management in Cucumber

An experiment was conducted to assess the effect of castration on the growth rate, feedefficiency and linear body measurements of Large White Yorkshire pigs. The experimental groupconsisted of castrated and uncastrated pigs with 8 in each group and a second trial was conductedwith one more set of pigs. The final body weight at 180 days of age was significantly (P < 0.01)higher in castrated group (72.03±0.57 kg) compared to uncastrated group (70.44±0.41 kg), whereas, the daily body weight gain was not statistically different between the two experimental groups. The average daily feed intake was significantly (P gnificantly (P n uncastrated group than the castrated group, whereas the chest girth and height of the animals were significantly (P
