The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of fat supplementation for enhancing milk conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) in early lactation without affecting ruminal fermentation. 24 Holstein dairy cows were assigned to a completely randomized design employing a 2 × 4 factorial arrangement. Factors were particle size (15 and 25 mm) and two different sources of alfalfa supplemented with and wit...

assessing the effects of monensin on economic factors of milk (percents of protein and fat), and quality of milk fat during early lactation. thirteen multiparous holstein cows were blocked into a control and a treatment group from 3 weeks prepartum to 45 days postpartum according the number of their calving. the groups received similar diets. the treatment group received monensin added to grain...

to test the effect of culling herd life from the breeding goal function, 4 different selection indices were established as: index 1: using milk production (milk), fat percentage of milk (fat%) and rear udder height (ruh); index 2: using milk , fat% and fore teat placement (ftp), index 3: using milk, fat% and fore udder attachment (fua); and index 4: using milk, fat%, ruh, ftp and fua) under two...

the aim of the present study was to estimate genetic and phenotypic parameters of milk production traits in the first and second lactations of romanian simmental dairy cattle. for the estimation of variance, heritability, genetic and phenotypic correlations among milk yield, fat yield, protein yield, and percentages of fat and protein, 3400 first and second lactation records over a period of fi...

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 ...

percentages and yields of fat, crude protein (cp), true protein (tp) and non-protein nitrogen (npn) wereassessed in milk of four groups of holstein cows, at early, mid and late lactation (days in milk 20-70, 71-110, 111-150 and 151-210), on a diet rich in concentrates during a hot summer. four milk samples were taken from individual cows at 10-day intervals. milk fat percentages were close to b...

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 ...

an experiment was conducted in early lactating buffaloes for the period of 3 months in jadakheria and polisimal village of limkhedataluka in dahod district of gujarat to assess the effect of supplementation of bypass fat on milk production, composition, body weight change and economic efficiency. forty buffaloes in their 2nd and 3rd lactation were equally divided in completely randomized design...
