Economics of feeding protected protein and protected fat on crossbred cattle

Abstract

A study was undertaken to evaluate the economics of feeding protected protein and protected fat in crossbred cows. The feeding trial of 4 months duration was conducted on 24 crossbred cattle which were subjected to treatment T 0 (Control), T 1 (Protectedprotein), T 2 ( Protected fat) and T 3 (Protected protein and fat) . Crossbred cows in second to fourth lactation with most probable production ability (MPPA) of average 2300 liter milk production per lactation for each group were selected. All animals were fed with 2/3 DM through roughages (2/3 from dry and 1/3 from green) + 1/3 DM from concentrate mixture. In T 0 and T 2 groups untreated groundnut cake was given in ration. Whereas, in T 1 and T 3 groups, groundnut cake was treated with formaldehyde (FA) (@ 1.0 gm FA /100g CP). Also bypass fat (99%) was supplemented in T 2 and T 3 groups @ 10 gm per liter milk production. Daily DM intake and daily milk yield for individual animals were recorded. The data generated during experimental period were analyzed by Factorial Randomized Block Design (FRBD) with SAS, 9.3 versions.The DMI was significantly (P<0.05) higher in T 3 (12.72) followed by T 1 (12.59), T 0 (12.47) and T 2 (12.23). However, the DMI/ 100 kg body weight was 3.05, 3.01, 3.13 and 2.81 kg/d in T 0 , T 1 , T 2 and T 3, respectively with non significant treatment. The average milk production during supplementation period was 9.82, 11.76, 11.41 and 12.43 kg/d in group T 0 , T 1 , T 2 and T 3, respectively which was significantly 16.49% higher in T 1 , 13.93% higher in T 2 and 20.99% in T 3 over T 0. The net return over feed cost was highest in T 3 group followed by T 1 and T 2 over T 0.

Effects of cassava pulp mixed with monosodium glutamate by-product (CPMSG) as a protein source in goat concentrate diet

“…The present findings demonstrated that NPN content in CPMSG was much higher compared with that in soybean meal (T1 treatment), so the rate of nitrogen release from soybean meal was lower than that from T2 and T3 treatments particularly after 4 h post feeding. Moreover, CPMSG may synchronize the ammonia and energy availability to improve microbial protein synthesis, thus amino acid or ammonia nitrogen will become transaminase or used directly for microbial synthesis and animals must be provided readily availablesource of different amino acids and carbohydrates to minimize negative energy balance (Bach et al 2005;Mane et al 2017). increase feed intake, crude protein digestibility, total VFA concentrations and growth performance of fattening animals.…”

Determination of productivity of milking cows and emissions of greenhouse gases from organic waste with different approaches to the organization of the technology of their feeding

“…There have also been studies on the use of protected proteins and fats in the feeding of dairy cows [11]. Compared to the control, in the experimental groups with protected protein, a higher consumption of dry matter of feed was observed and, accordingly, an increase in milk productivity by 16.5 and 21.0 %.…”

Economics of Milk Production in Lactating Murrah Buffaloes Supplemented with Mustard Oil

“…On an average, the total feed cost (Rs.) per animal per day during the experimental period in CON and MO was 191.80and 206.14 (Naik et al, 2009); 36/-per buffalo per day (Parnerkar et al, 2011); 46.91/-per buffalo per day (Shelke and Thakur, 2011); 11.60/-per cow per day (Gowda et al, 2013); 15.53/-per buffalo per day (Vahora et al, 2013); 23.70/-per animal per day (Amrutkar et al,2014); 11.05/-per animal per day (Grewal et al,2014); 50/-per cow per day (Singh et al, 2014); 94.46/-per cow per day (Yadav et al, 2015); 62.07/-per cow per day (Mane et al, 2017) and 127.49/-per cow per day (Parihar et al, 2018).…”

“…To counter affect the demerits of higher levels of concentrate feeding as acidosis and decline in concentration of milk fat; supplementing fat in the diet has become a standard practice to fulfil the energy requirements of dairy cows. Supplementation of fat might increase the cost of feeding but net return per animal may also increase due to increase in milk yields and milk fat apart from its positive effect on reproduction and health of animal (Mane et al, 2017). The cost of feeding per litre milk production is a significant factor in governing the economic viability of livestock sector which must be reduced by adopting new measures in the ration formulation.…”
