Periparturient responses of multiparous Holstein cows fed different dietary phosphorus concentrations prepartum.
Our objective was to compare the effects of different prepartum dietary phosphorus concentrations on periparturient metabolism and performance. Forty-two late pregnant multiparous Holstein cows were fed 0.21, 0.31, or 0.44% P (dry basis) for 4 wk before expected calving. After parturition, all cows were fed a common lactation diet (0.40% P). In the prepartum period, cows fed 0.21% P had lower b...
متن کاملEffect of calcium salts of fish and palm oils on lactational performance of Holstein cows
Two experiments were conducted to determine the effect of source of fatty acids (FA) fed as tallow or calcium salts of fish and palm oils (CaSFO) on performance of dairy cows. In experiment 1, 738 multiparous Holstein cows were fed a diet with either 18 g/kg of tallow or 19 g/kg of CaSFO to supply equal amounts of FA in two replicates per treatment. In experiment 2, 331 multiparous cows were fe...
متن کاملPrediction of enteric methane emissions from cattle.
Agriculture has a key role in food production worldwide and it is a major component of the gross domestic product of several countries. Livestock production is essential for the generation of high quality protein foods and the delivery of foods in regions where animal products are the main food source. Environmental impacts of livestock production have been examined for decades, but recently em...
متن کاملReproductive performance of dairy cows fed two concentrations of phosphorus.
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of dietary P concentrations of 0.37 (recommended) or 0.57% (excess; dry matter basis) on reproductive performance. At calving, Holstein cows were randomly assigned to 1 of 2 dietary treatments (n = 134 for 0.37% P and n = 133 for 0.57% P). Cows were fitted with a radiotelemetric transmitter (50 d in milk [DIM]) to record mounting activity ...
متن کاملPerformance of Holstein Calves, Heifers and First-Lactating Cows Fed Starter Diets with Different Protein Levels and Types of Soybean Meal
Holstein calves were fed pelleted starter diets with crude protein (CP) concentrations of 18%, 22% and 24% per dry matter (DM) containing soybean meal (SBM) (SBM18, SBM20 and SBM24), respectively, for 10 weeks from 14 days of age. Another diet with a CP concentration of 18% per DM was tested using commercial xylose-soybean meal (XSB; Yasminomax) instead of SBM. Each diet was fed to 24 calves an...
