چکیده
The present study was carried out to evaluate the effect of prill fat and rumen protected choline supplementation on daily dry matter intake, body weight changes and economics in lactating Murrah buffaloes (n=18) divided into three equal groups (Control, T1 and T2). Buffaloes in all the three groups were fed similar basal diet as total mixed ration comprising of berseem green fodder, wheat straw and concentrate mixture. Buffaloes in T1 group were daily supplemented with prill fat @ 2.5% of total DMI whereas; buffaloes in T2 group were daily supplemented with 54 g rumen protected choline along with same quantity of prill fat as supplemented in T1 group. Fortnightly and overall dry matter intake and body weight of experimental buffaloes was comparable in all the three groups. Net profit/animal/day (`) was increased by 3.12 and 8.25% in T1 and T2 groups over the control. Thus it was concluded that supplementing prill fat in the ration of lactating Murrah buffaloes increased the net profit without any significant effect on dry matter intake and body weight changes, which was furthermore enhanced by supplementing the ration with rumen protected choline.
