Effect of Cottonseed Cake (gossypol) on the Reproductive Performance of Nili-ra Vi Buffaloes

چکیده
Effect of free gossypol present in the cottonseed cakes was investigated using 12, Nili-Ravi dairy buffaloes randomly assigned to two equal groups i.e., A and B. Buffaloes in group. A were fed control ration and buffaloes in group B were fed cottonseed cake ration containing 5.88g free gossypol. Non significant differences were found between control and treated buffaloes in respect of occurrence of postpartum oestrus, length of oestrous cycle, duration of oestrus, intensity of oestrus and occurrence of ovulation. However, buffaloes fed cottonseed cake showed significantly (P<O.Ol) lower conception rate than that of control buffaloes (50 vs 83 % ).

متن کاملEffect of replacing soybean meal protein with protein from upland cottonseed, Pima cottonseed, or extruded Pima cottonseed on production of lactating dairy cows.
Pima cotton production is increasing in the United States, but Pima cottonseed generally contains higher concentrations of the antinutritive pigment gossypol than conventional upland cottonseed. Heating promotes the reaction of gossypol with protein, reducing gossypol absorption and toxicity. The objective of this study was to assess the nutritional value for dairy cattle of Pima cottonseed cak...

Superovulated Hereford-Angus crossbred heifers (average 397 kg BW) were used to test the effect of feeding cottonseed meal (gossypol) and vitamin E on embryo quality and ovarian characteristics. Twenty-four heifers were assigned randomly to four treatments with six heifers per treatment. Treatments were the following dietary supplements: 1) SBM (soybean meal + 30 IU vitamin E/kg of diet DM); 2)...

Small ovarian size and low number of follicles are major causes of low reproductive potential in buffalo (Bubalus bubalis). There is no tool through which reproductive performance of buffalo can be phenotyped. Therefore, aim of the present study was to develop a method on the basis of which reproductive performance of buffaloes can be phenotypically assessed. For this purpose two experiments we...
