abstract

sixteen multiparous lactating buffaloes after 8 weeks of calving and weighing 500 to 600 kg were used in a complete switch-back design with four groups. buffaloes in the first group were fed the control ration (r1) consisted of dm basis of 60% concentrate feed mixture (cfm)+20% rice straw (rs)+20% berseem hay (bh), while in the other groups the rations consisted of dm basis of 40% cfm+20% rs+40% sugar beet tops silage (sbts) and corn silage (cs) in different ratios; 2:1 (r2), 1:1 (r3) and 1:2 (r4), respectively. the digestibility coefficients of dm, om, cf, ee and nfe, tdn value and the intake of dm and tdn increased significantly (p

Productive Performance of Lactating Buffaloes Fed RationContaining Sugar Beet Tops and Corn Silages

Sixteen multiparous lactating buffaloes after 8 weeks of calving and weighing 500 to 600 kg were used in a complete switch-back design with four groups. Buffaloes in the first group were fed the control ration (R1) consisted of DM basis of 60% concentrate feed mixture (CFM)+20% rice straw (RS)+20% berseem hay (BH), while in the other groups the rations consisted of DM basis of 40% CFM+20% RS+40...

Effects of Dietary Protein and Energy Levels on Productive and Reproductive Performance of Lactating Buffaloes

Twenty eight lactating buffaloes were used in a completely randomized design with 2×2 factorial arrangement of four experimental diets including low protein–low energy (LP-LE), low protein–high energy (LP-HE), high protein–low energy (HP-LE) and high protein–high energy (HP-HE). Results showed that the HP-HE diet recorded the highest digestibility coefficients of CP, EE, NFE, nutritive values, ...

Investigation of Different Levels of Sugar Beet Pulp and Citrus Residue on Productive Performance of Baluchi Lambs

      In livestock nutrition management to increase productivity, finding intensive sources of food is a great achievement. .The sub-sectors of the agricultural sector in the feeding of ruminant animals make it possible to use them for the production of valuable products such as meat and milk. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of using citrus and sugar beet pulp in diet o...

Comparison of feeding corn silages from leafy or conventional corn hybrids to lactating dairy cows.

Three corn hybrids (Pioneer 36F30, Mycogen TMF2450, and Mycogen TMF2404) were compared for yield and quality traits, and lactation performance and apparent digestibility by Holstein cows. The three corn silages were harvested at a target of 33 to 35% dry matter. Before harvest, six corn plants were randomly selected for plant fractionation. Grain-to-stover ratios were 0.92, 0.70, and 0.95 for t...

Effect of sugar beet tubers as a partial replacer to green fodder on production performance and economics of lactating Surti buffaloes in lean period

AIM The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of sugar beet tubers as a replacer to green fodder on production performance and economics of lactating Surti buffaloes. MATERIALS AND METHODS This trial was conducted at the Livestock Research Station, Navsari Agricultural University, Navsari. Twenty lactating Surti buffaloes in a changeover experimental design were selected to asse...
