The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of diets containing roasted soybean (R), extruded soybean (E) or their combination (RE) on dairy cow performance and milk fatty acid (FA) profile. Nine multiparous lactating Holstein cows (680 ± 25 kg BW; 90 ± 10 DIM; means ± SD) were randomly assigned to a triple 3 × 3 Latin square design. Dry matter intake (DMI), apparent nutrient dige...

an experiment was conducted in early lactating buffaloes for the period of 3 months in jadakheria and polisimal village of limkhedataluka in dahod district of gujarat to assess the effect of supplementation of bypass fat on milk production, composition, body weight change and economic efficiency. forty buffaloes in their 2nd and 3rd lactation were equally divided in completely randomized design...

Profitability of different grouping criteria was simulated in a dairy farm with 153 lactating cows that were divided into three groups of high (79), medium (40) and low (34) cows based on the milk records. Animals were reassigned to the new groups based on the following criteria using a decision support tool and the same three groups scenario: fat corrected milk 4%, days in milk (DIM), dairy me...

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation of different level protein diets with rumen protected methionine and lysine on performance and ruminal parameters in holstein dairy cows when in their early lactation. twenty one dairy cows in their early lactations were assigned to three treatments in a randomized block design experiment of a 35-d duration period. diets...

An experiment was conducted in early lactating buffaloes for the period of 3 months in Jadakheria and Polisimal village of LimkhedaTaluka in Dahod district of Gujarat to assess the effect of supplementation of bypass fat on milk production, composition, body weight change and economic efficiency. Forty buffaloes in their 2nd and 3rd lactation were equally divided in completely randomized design...

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of repeated oronasal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) on milk composition and the overall productive performance of dairy cows. One hundred pregnant Holstein dairy cows were randomly assigned to two treatment groups (n = 50). 30 cows out of 100 were selected for intensive sampling (n = 15) starting at 28 d before parturition. Cows were...

The objectives were to determine the effect of administering recombinant bovine ST (bST) every 14 d on milk yield and milk composition in dairy ewes and to assess the possible effects of treatment on milk yield loss that occurs at lamb weaning. Seventy-two lactating dairy ewes were separated into 4 groups at lambing, and each group received no bST (control) or 40, 80, or 120 mg of bST every 14 ...

This experiment was performed to investigate whether feeding xylose-treated soybean meal (XSBM) or corn gluten meal (CGM) is economically better under field conditions. Ninety-four multiparous early lactating Holstein cows (55±5 days in milk and 2.82±0.41 body condition score) were used in a completely randomized design. Cows were randomly assigned to one of two treatments: XSBM or CGM as the m...

1. Two experiments were carried out with lactating Friesian cows with a potential for high milk production. Within 3 d after calving they were fitted with a catheter to allow infusions to be given into the abomasum. During each experiment the milk yields and intake of the cows were such that they were calculated to be in negative energy balance. 2. In the first experiment three COWS were infuse...

the aim followed in the present research was to study the effects of reduction in dietary crude protein on milk production and on blood components in lactating holstein dairy cows when in heat stress. a number of 63 holstein dairy cows (71 ± 16.5 dim) were chosen to be made use of in a randomized complete block design. the cows were randomly assigned to any one of the three experimental rations...
