the aim of this study was to investigate the effect of bacterial inoculation on the fermentation and aerobic stability of corn silage and on the dry matter degradability and milk composition when fed to sheep or cows. four male sheep were selected to measure dry matter degradability of uninoculated (ucs) and inoculated (ics) corn silage. milk composition was measured for 22 holstein cows, separ...

Changing the milk fatty acid composition can improve the nutritional and physical properties of dairy products and their acceptability to consumers. A more healthful milk fatty acid composition can be achieved by altering the cow's diet, for example, by feeding supplemental fish oil (FO) or roasted soybeans (RSB), or by selecting cows with a more unsaturated milk fatty acid composition. We exam...

The aim of this experiment was to determine the effects of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) on milk production and composition, and milk fatty acid profile of dairy Holstein cows. Three lactating Holstein cows (203 ± 9 DIM; mean ± SD) fitted with rumen fistula were used in a 3 × 3 Latin square experiment with 21-d periods, including a 14-d adaptation period followed by a 7-d sampling period. Trea...

early weanling and rearing of lambs on milk replacer is an important act to increasing flock productivity. two experiments were carried out to compare the voluntary intake and nutrients digestibility ewe milk and commercial milk replacer and their feeding effects on the growth rate, feed intake and feed efficiency of suckling lambs. in experiment 1, eight lambs (two 4-lamb groups) at 31 to 34 d...

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 (...

Even though extensive research has examined the role of nutrition on milk fat composition, there is less information on the impact of forages on milk fatty acid (FA) composition. In the current study, the effect of replacing grass silage (GS) with maize silage (MS) as part of a total mixed ration on animal performance and milk FA composition was examined using eight multiparous mid-lactation co...

An experiment was conducted on eight crossbred cows of similar age (4-5 yr) and body weight (306.96 ± 12.57 kg) to elucidate the effect of urea treated paddy straw supplementation on their feed intake, milk production and blood biochemical profiles. Crossbred cows were randomly divided into two equal groups and fed a concentrate mixture and paddy straw to meet their nutrient requirement. Group ...

milk urea nitrogen (mun) of dairy cows was determined in relation to breed. a total of forty (40) pabna and red chittagong dairy cattle each of twenty (20) were selected to know the milk composition, nutritional status and milk urea nitrogen. live weight of pabna cattle (187±14 kg) was higher than that of red chittagong cattle (174±4 kg). in pabna cattle milk yield (4.94 kg), minerals (0.15%) a...

This manuscript presents the results of a review of the effects of recombinant bovine somatotropin (rBST) on milk production, milk composition, dry matter intake, and body condition score that was carried out by an expert panel established by the Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA). The panel was established by the CVMA in response to a request from Health Canada in 1998 and their re...
