Effectiveness of a feed additive with a high degree of protein protection in feeding fresh cows

Abstract

Intensive dairy farming in modern conditions is impossible without a solid forage base and the use of high-quality forage resources. A high level of cow productivity presupposes adequate nutrition for the animal at all physiological periods of its life. Due to the fact that cows consume relatively little feed during the first period of lactation, the primary task of livestock breeders is to provide the body of highly productive animals with the necessary amount of energy, protein and other nutrients. The article presents the data of a scientific experiment on the use of non-degradable protein in the rumen PassPro Balance in diets for fresh cows. The feed additive under study contributes to an increase in the level of dry matter consumption by animals. The average daily milk yield of the experimental group, which received the studied supplement, significantly increased by 12.0% (P <0.05) in comparison with the control group. There was also established a tendency to an increase in the fat content in the milk of cows from the experimental group. According to the biochemical analysis of the blood serum of cows, the level of albumin in all animals was within the physiological norm. The content of globulins was below the norm in animals of all groups without significantly significant differences. The activity of the AST and ALT enzymes between the groups did not differ significantly. However, it should be noted that in both groups these indicators were within the normal range. The level of alkaline phosphatase tended to increase in the experimental group by 20.8% in comparison with the control group. Feeding PassPro Supplements Balance in the diets for the experimental group made it possible to receive 2565,00 rubles of additional profit, while the level of profitability of milk production increased by 2.02% relative to control.
