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.
