the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of feeding of  steeped barley grain with lactic acid (la) and citric acid (ca) on dry matter intake, feeding behavior, apparent nutrients digestibility, rumen ph and milk production. eight early lactating holstein cows in the second parities were used in 4×4 latin square change- over design. treatments  consisted of basis diet containing 1) dr...

The present study was conducted on efficiency of utilization of dietary energy for milk production in lactating crossbred cattle. 18 lactating crossbred cattle of early to mid-lactation, approximate body weight (375.39±23.43 kg), milk yield, parity and stage of lactation were divided into three groups of six animals each and were fed 0, 50 and 100% diammonium phosphate (DAP) in the mineral mixt...

nutritive value of winterfat forage (eurotia ceratoides) was evaluated through chemical composition, in situ degradability and in vitro gas production techniques using three permanently fistulated adult baluchi sheep. the cp, ndf, adf, ash, ee and nfc contents of winterfat forage was 19.4, 54.5, 41.6, 9.0, 1.4 and 15.7%, respectively. the leaves had highest cp (27.9%dm) and lowest ndf (40.7%dm)...
