The study aimed to determine factors affecting the dry period length and effect of dry days on milk yield, milk composition and lactation length in the next lactation of dairy cows. Data used for analysis included 7264 lactation records collected from 2012 to 2016 on 4737 Holstein cows raised in 152 herds. The statistical model used to determine the factors influencing the dry period length sho...

stats are a family of latent transcription factors that reside in the cytoplasm of resting cells. the stat1 transcription factor gene located on the chromosome 2 at interval 60 to 63 cm. this factor upon stimulation with inf gamma, dimerizes and translocate to the nucleus where mediates transcriptional regulation. in this study, we estimated the allele and genotype frequencies of stat1/pag1 gen...

Milk urea nitrogen (MUN) of dairy cows was determined in relation to breed. A total of forty (40) Pabna and red Chittagong dairy cattle each of twenty (20) were selected to know the milk composition, nutritional status and milk urea nitrogen. Live weight of Pabna Cattle (187±14 kg) was higher than that of red Chittagong cattle (174±4 kg). In Pabna cattle milk yield (4.94 kg), minerals (0.15%) a...

background and objective: in this study due to increasing importance of producing low fat meat products such as low calorie hamburger and in order to developing new and safe product with low fat and saturated fatty acid content and high unsaturated fatty acid, the effect of reducing animal fat content and adding combination of healthier oil, olive oil and canola oil that were used as a substitu...

metabolizable protein (mp) supply and amino acid balance were manipulated through selection of highly digestible rumen-undegradable protein (rup) sources. effects on production efficiency and n utilization of early post-partum dairy cows were determined. forty-two multiparous and 16 primiparous holstein cows were assigned to the diets in a randomized complete block design immediately after part...
