abstract

in order to examine the effect of using rumen protected methionine (mepron, evonik industries, hanau, germany) on productive and reproductive performance under field condition, 195 holstein cows were used in a unbalanced completely randomized design and 2 groups. experimental treatments consisted of: 1) control group with 110 holstein dairy cows (71±51 dim and 47.5±12 milk yield) and without mepron and 2) experimental group with 85 holstein dairy cows (85±59 dim and 47.0±12 milk yield) and 13 g mepron per cow/d. cows were group fed with tmr and 4 times a day. the diets were balanced with aminocow® software. using mepron decreased cp content from 17.05% in control group to 16.47% in experimental group, while other nutrients were similar between two diets. adding mepron to diet resulted in a significant increase in dry matter intake (p<0.01; 25.8 vs. 26.6 kg/d) and a decrease in daily feed cost per cow (70820 vs. 69180 rials). milk yield and lactose percentage did not affect but a tendency was detected for more protein percentage (p<0.13; 3.02 vs. 3.10) and lower fat percentage (3.15 vs. 3.08) in experimental group. decrease in milk urea nitrogen (mun) in experimental group compared with control tended to be significant (p<0.17; 18.8 vs. 17.6 mg/dl). pregnancy rate increased 13% in experimental group compared with control group (41.8 vs. 45.9%). these results show positive effects of feeding rumen protected methionine under field condition on improving productive and reproductive performance.

effects of feeding rumen-protected methionine on production performance and blood metabolites of early lactating holstein cows

fifty six holstein lactating cows (71 days in milk; 35 kg/day milk production) were employed in a complete block randomized design of repeated measurements. cows were randomly allocated to two treatments based on their parity. cows in group 1 were fed a balanced total mixed ration (600 g concentrate /kg dm and 400 g forages /kg dm) with 50 g rumen protected methionine (rpm) per head per day (me...

Effect of alfalfa silage storage structure and rumen-protected methionine on production in lactating dairy cows.

The objective of this study was to determine whether production and nutrient utilization differed when lactating cows were fed diets based on 1 of 3 sources of alfalfa silage (AS) and whether performance was altered by feeding rumen-protected Met (RPM; fed as Mepron). Thirty-six lactating Holstein cows were blocked by parity and days in milk, then assigned to a randomized complete block design ...

Effect of supplementing rumen-protected methionine on production and nitrogen excretion in lactating dairy cows.

Two 4 x 4 Latin square trials (4-wk periods; 16 wk total) were conducted to see whether supplementing rumen-protected Met (RPM; fed as Mepron) would allow feeding less crude protein (CP), thereby reducing urinary N excretion, but without losing production. In trial 1, 24 Holsteins were fed 4 diets as total mixed rations containing [dry matter (DM) basis]: 18.6% CP and 0 g of RPM/d; 17.3% CP and...

effect of supplementation of different level protein diets with rumen protected methionine and lysine on performance and ruminal parameters of holstein dairy cows in early lactation

the objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of supplementation of different level protein diets with rumen protected methionine and lysine on performance and ruminal parameters in holstein dairy cows when in their early lactation. twenty one dairy cows in their early lactations were assigned to three treatments in a randomized block design experiment of a 35-d duration period. diets...

BACKGROUND: Methionine has been suggested as the firstlimitingamino acid for milk production in ruminants. It is importanthow to increase milk protein yield and milk fat in dairy ruminants.OBJECTIVES: This study was set to investigate the effect of rumenprotected methionine (RPMet) on milk composition of lactatingCashmere Rayeni goats. METHODS: 40 healthy singletonCashmere Rayeni goats about 3 ...

Effects of Rumen-Protected Methionine on Dairy Performance and Amino Acid Metabolism in Lactating Cows

Problem statement: Free Met as one of the most limiting AA in dairy cows would be mostly degraded in the rumen. This study was to determine the effect of different levels of RumenProtected Met (RPMet) on dairy performance and serum amino acid metabolism. Approach: Thirtysix Holstein cows in similar condition were randomly assigned to six experimental treatments with six replicates each. Levels ...
