Effects of supplementation with sodium caseinate of early lactation diet on performance, digestibility, microbial nitrogen flow, and nitrogen efficiency in Holstein cows
Performance, digestibility of nutrients, microbial nitrogen flow (MNF) and nitrogen efficiency (NE) inearly lactating Holstein cows were investigated by diet supplementation with sodium caseinate (CN).Multiparous lactating Holstein cows (n = 15) with an average body weight of 638 kg and 21 days in milkwere assigned to a completely randomized design (five cows per treatment) and fed a basal diet...
متن کاملEffects of dietary nonprotein nitrogen on performance, digestibility, ruminal characteristics, and microbial efficiency in crossbred steers.
Two trials were conducted to evaluate the effects of dietary NPN levels on animal performance, diet digestibility, ruminal characteristics, and microbial efficiency. Experiment 1 was conducted with 24 Holstein x Nellore crossbred steers (350 +/- 20 kg of BW) distributed in 6 blocks to evaluate intake and digestibility of nutrients and performance. The diets consisted of 70% corn silage and 30% ...
متن کاملDgat1 Polymorphism K232a in Sahiwal (indian Zebu) and Frieswal (holstein Friesian X Sahiwal Crossbred) Cattle
The positional candidate gene DGAT1, within QTL of BTA14, harboring a lysine to alanine substitution (K232A) is significantly associated with milk production traits. The present investigation was undertaken to estimate the frequency of the DGAT1 K232A polymorphism in Indian zebu breed, Sahiwal (B. indicus; N= 51) and crossbred, Frieswal (HF X Sahiwal; N= 126) cattle using PCR-RFLP technique. De...
متن کاملIntake of High Producing Holstein Cows Grazing Pasture or Fed a Total Mixed Ration
(week 4). Intake was estimated in week 4 by dosing twice daily with 5 g Cr 2 O 3 for 10 days. Fecal samples were collected twice daily on days 7 to 11 of Cr 2 O 3 dosing, with pre-grazing pasture being sampled on days 6-10 of dosing. Fecal output, calculated from fecal chromium concentrations, and in vitro digestibility (IVDMD) were used to calculate intake (Parker et al. 1989). The intake of c...
متن کاملPredicting Forage Intake by Grazing Beef Cows
The control of feed intake by ruminants is complex, and developing a cohesive theory of intake control in ruminants continues to be a challenge. Because our understanding of factors that regulate intake by cattle is inadequate, predicting feed intake, even under the best of circumstances, is difficult. In grazing cattle, this difficulty is exacerbated by additional influences that can sway basi...
