Performance and ruminal fermentation of dairy cows fed whole cottonseed with elevated concentrations of free fatty acids in the oil.
Twenty-four lactating Holstein cows were used in an 8-wk completely randomized design trial to examine the effects of feeding whole cottonseed (WCS) with elevated concentrations of free fatty acids (FFA) in the oil on intake and performance. Treatments included WCS with normal concentrations of FFA (6.8%, control) and 2 sources of WCS with elevated FFA [HFFA1 (24.1%) or HFFA2 (22.3%)]. The 2 so...
متن کاملPerformance of lactating dairy cows fed whole cottonseed coated with gelatinized cornstarch.
The handling characteristics of whole cottonseed are improved by coating with gelatinized cornstarch, but limited information is available on the effects of feeding the coated cottonseed to lactating dairy cows. Thirty-six lactating Jersey cows were used in a crossover design trial with 4-wk experimental periods to evaluate the influence of coating whole cottonseed with 2.5% gelatinized cornsta...
متن کاملDigestibility and effects of whole cottonseed fed to lactating cows.
Four lactating Holstein cows producing about 21 kg milk/day were fed complete rations containing 0, 5, 15, and 25% whole cottonseed in a 4 X 4 Latin square design. Diets were fed ad libitum. Periods were 21 days in length with total collections of feces and urine during the last 7 days of each period. Digestibilities o nitrogen, lipid, and energy increased with increasing cottonseed in the diet...
متن کاملEffects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on ovarian function and prostaglandin secretion in lactating dairy cows
As lactating cows in severe negative energy balance have poor reproductive performance, the effect of dietary fat supplementation (fish oil, soybean oil) on PGFM secretion, ovarian function and blood metabolites is investigated. In this experiment, the effects of dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids on plasma metabolites, ovarian function and prostaglandin secretion of 20 primiparous Holstein co...
متن کاملEffect of Feeding High Free Fatty Acid Whole Cottonseed on Milk Yield and Composition of Lactating Dairy Cows
Several criteria are used for determining the acceptability of whole cottonseed (WCS) for crushing including concentrations of moisture, oil, free fatty acids in the oil (FFA), and ammonia. Whole cottonseed that does not meet the minimum standard is typically sold as a feed ingredient. When tropical storms delay cotton harvest and the moisture remain elevated, concentrations of FFA increase. Fe...
