(ii) List of Research Projects:

List of research project undertaken :

Sl. No.	Title of the project	Name of Funding Agency
1	Preparation of quality animal casings and scum meal from goat intestine	RAU, Bihar
2	Utilization of ruminal content along with blood of slaughterhouse as feed	RAU, Bihar
3	Standardization of technique for production of catgut, dialysis membrane and collagen sheet preparation from slaughterhouse waste	ICAR, New Delhi

5	Slaughterhouse by-products processing, packaging and shelf-life evaluation for pet food.	MFPI, Govt. of India
6	Quality enhancement of buffalo meat and its unit packaging for export	ICAR, New Delhi

(iii) Research Achievements :

Prepared quality casing and scum meal from goat intestine.
The protein contents of ruminal content can be increased from 16.13% to 60.48% on dry matter basis after mixing and drying five times with blood of slaughterhouse. The prepared ruminal content with blood may be used as poultry feed.
Standardized the technique for production of plain and chromic catgut from goat intestine and collagen sheet from buffalo intestine.
Developed low cost goat meat nugget and balls.
Dry pet food for adult dog was developed with the incorporation of animal by-product meal prepared from cattle / buffalo, sheep / goat, pig, poultry and a mixture of all the four by-product meal. Pet food incorporated with mixed by-products meal showed good overall palatability and gave better response in maintaining dogs. Only the pet food incorporated with pig by-products meal showed the least effect on the performance of dogs while other pet food faired well on dog's performance. The cost involved in the preparation of pet food was well in the range of Rs. 30-35 / kg
Pre-blending of ground buffalo meat with anti-oxidants showed better effect in maintaining the quality of meat.
Treatment with either 2% lactic acid +20% Nacl or Ginger extract +20% Nacl were found to be safe for maintaining the quality of buffalo meat.
1000g and 500g unit packed sample showed better value in terms of all parameters as compared to 250g packed sample.
