Pulse chunies are popular agro-industrial byproducts, obtained from processing of pulses in the preparation of dals and are available to extent of 3 million tonnes in India. These chunies comprise broken seed coat, germ and small pieces of broken cotyledons and constitute about 15-20% of total weight of pulse seeds. Very little information is available in the literature on effective levels of inclusion of chunies in complete rations for ruminants. An attempt was made to study the effect of inclusion of varying levels of urad (Vigna mungo) chuni in the concentrate mixtures on the nutrient utilization in native male buffaloes.
