  Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences - Juniper Publishers Abstract Veterinary drugs are any substances applied to or administered to animals for their therapeutic, prophylactic and diagnostic purposes or modification of physiological function or behavior. They are used throughout the world and more than half of all medicines are prescribed, dispensed or sold improperly. In Ethiopia, also different studies revealed the improper utilization of drugs is common. The use of veterinary drugs in food-producing animals has the potential to generate residues in animal derived products and poses a health hazard to the consumer. The most likely reason for drug residues might be due to improper drug usage and failure to keep the withdrawal period. The residual amount ingested is in small amounts and not necessarily toxic. The major public health significances of drug residue are development of antimicrobial drug resistance, hypersensitivity reaction, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, teratoge

  Journal of Dairy & Veterinary Sciences - Juniper Publishers Abstract Floating Beds (FB) were prepared in Jaintapur and Kanaighat and one in the Sylhet Agricultural University (SAU) campus of Sylhet region. German and Dhal grass were cultivated infloating beds. There was about 11Kg/sqm and 5.75 Kg/sqm of average fodder production per bed in German and Dhal grass respectively. German grass showed superiority in production and nutritional quality compared to Dhal and local grasses and considered as suitable fodder for FB cultivation. In vitro degradability (IVD) was higher in floating bed German grass than local grasses. By analyzing water quality of the wetland in which fodder bed was constructed it has been revealed that the Dissolved Oxygen (DO) level of the floating bed was at a range in which the fish population had a threat to survive. So, these abandoned ponds were utilized by constructing a floating bed for fodder production. There was a positive correlation between IVD and
