Effects of Bypass Protein-Fat Mixed Product Supplementation on Feed Intake, Nutrient Digestibility, Milk Production, and Milk Composition in Lactating Dairy Cows
Main Article Content
Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of bypass protein-fat mixed product (BPFP) supplementation on feed intake, nutrient digestibility, milk production and milk composition in dairy cows. The experiment was arranged in a 4 x 4 Latin square design. There were 4 periods and each period lasted for 21 days. Four crossbred Holstein Friesian cows with initial weight of 537.56 ± 3.19 kg and 80.0 ± 12.40 days in milk were assigned to receive one of four total mixed ration (TMR) diets that varied by 4 levels of BPFP supplementation at 0, 150, 300 and 450 g/day. The TMR was composed of concentrated ingredients to roughage (rice straw) at ratio of 60:40. The TMR contained 16.0% CP and 2.7 Mcal ME/kgDM. Animals were top-dressed with concentrate (21% CP) at a rate of 2 kg/hd/day. The results reveal that the BPFP supplementation had no effect (P > 0.05) on daily intake of dry matter (DM) (calculated as kg DM, %BW, and g/kgW0.75) and other nutrients such as organic matter (OM), neutral detergent fiber (NDF) intake (kgDM/d). However, as BPFP levels increased, crude protein (CP) and ether extract (EE) intake showed trends for increased linearly (P < 0.05), while acid detergent fiber (ADF) intake decreased linearly (P < 0.05). When BPFP was added, the apparent digestibility of DM (P = 0.08), organic matter (OM) (P = 0.07), and CP (P = 0.09) increased linearly, while ADF digestibility linearly decreased (P = 0.08). Milk yield and milk composition did not differ significantly (P > 0.05) among dietary treatments. Based on the results of this experiment, it was concluded that BPFP supplementation at any level had no effect on milk production or milk composition in lactating dairy cows.
