متن کاملUtilization of sulfur and other mineral elements by growing dairy heifers treated with bovine somatotropin.
Apparent absorption and retention of Ca, P, Mg, K, Cu, Mn, Zn, and S were determined in Holstein heifers treated with recombinant bovine somatotropin (bST). Six heifers (initial BW averaged 104 kg) were assigned to various doses of bST in a 6 x 6 Latin square design with six consecutive 21-d periods. Treatments were daily i.m. injections of 0, 6.7, 33.3, 66.7, 100, or 200 micrograms of bST/kg o...
متن کاملEffect of formic acid or formaldehyde treatment of alfalfa silage on nutrient utilization by dairy cows.
Third-cutting alfalfa with 37% DM was ensiled untreated or treated with either 2.8 g of formic acid/100 g of DM or .31 g of formaldehyde/100 g of DM and fed to lactating dairy cows in two experiments. Silage treated with formic acid had the lowest pH and concentrations of NPN, NH3, and total free AA. Both treatments decreased rumen in vitro protein degradability but did not affect in vitro rume...
متن کاملEffect of Steam Heating Alfalfa Hay on Utilization by Lactating Dairy Cows
Alfalfa hay was steam heated for an average of 47 min at 100 to 110°C; net ruminal protein escape (total escape minus ADIN x 6.25), estimated in vitro, was 50% versus 29% for control hay. Heating increased ADIN content from 4.6 to 15.3% of total N and increased NDF from 43 to 53% of DM. In trial 1, 14 cows averaging 81 DIM and 30 kg/d of milk were fed, in a switchback design, diets containing 1...
متن کاملsoaked straw and alfalfa utilization in dairy cattle ration
the effect of feeding of soaked barley straw on milk production and composition and rumen characteristics was studied. the degradability of soaked barley straw (for 24, 48 and 72 hours) and unsoaked barley straws were studied in the first experiment. the unsoaked barley straw had more readily degraded fraction (a) than soaked straw treatments (p> 0.05). there was no significant difference betwe...
