Effect of dried Leucaena leucocephala and Manihot esculenta supplementation leaves on feed intake, milk production, and milk composition of Holstein Friesian x Ankole crossbred cows
Abstract:This experiment was conducted to investigate the effect of dried Leucaena (Leucaena leucocephala) and cassava (Manihot esculenta) leaves on feed intake, milk production, and milk composition of Holstein Friesian x Ankole crossbred cows. Three cows in early lactation, with initial milk production of 4 ± 1.20 kg/day and 359 ± 24 kg average live body weight, were randomly assigned to the experimental diet in a 3x3 Latin square design. Three 15-day experimental periods were adopted (1 to 10-day: diet adaptation an… Show more
