چکیده

fourteen primiparous holstein cows (180.0 ± 4.3 days in milk) with a mean (±sd) daily milk yield of 35.0 ± 1.3 kg and a body condition score of 3.2 ± 0.2 were allotted into two groups (n = 7), and were fed a ration consisting of (dry matter basis) 35% corn silage, 25% alfalfa hay and 40% concentrates. salt was provided free choice. the experiment was performed during the period of heat stress, i.e., when the temperature-humidity index was greater than 72. one group was offered desalinated water containing 570 mg total dissolved solids (tds) and another group was offered water containing 1400 mg tds per l. milk yield was measured weekly, and milk samples were taken on days 21 and 42 for determination of milk composition. blood samples were taken on days 21 and 42 from the median caudal vein of the tail and the serum concentrations of na+,  k+, ca2+, mg2+, tri-iodothyronine (t3) and thyroxine (t4) were measured. ruminal fluid was taken by rumenocentesis on day 42 for determination of volatile fatty acids (vfa) and ph. milk yield, milk composition, serum concentrations of t3and t4, na+, ca2+ and mg2+, ruminal fluid vfa concentration and ph were not significantly affected by water tds (p>0.05); however, cows receiving desalinated water produced 2 kg more milk per cow per day. serum k+ concentration was significantly higher in cows consuming saline water (p

Milk Production, Milk Fatty Acid Profiles and Blood Metabolites in Holstein Dairy Cows Fed Diets Based on Dried Citrus Pulp

The objective of the present study was to determine the effect of substitution of corn grain with dried citrus pulp (DCP) on milk composition, fatty acids profiles and blood metabolites in Holstein dairy cows. These parameters were measured in a replicated 4 × 4 latin square design experiment using eight Holstein cows. Each experimental period lasted 4 weeks. The four treatments were: control (...
