“…This might be due to pregnancy stress and body tissues loss through milk production during postpartum period. This statement is supported by Khan et al (2004) who reported that BCS of the postpartum cow didn't improve after allowing concentrate supplementation during late pregnancy. However, Kokkonen et al (2004) found improved BCS of dairy cows by supplying a higher amount (4.7 kg/h/d) of concentrate at prepartum period.…”

This study was to investigate the impact of concentrate supplementation on the growth, milk yield and quality, postpartum heat period and days open in transient buffalo. Hence, six selected indigenous transient buffaloes were equally divided into two groups viz. control (n=3) and supplemented (n=3). About 56.0 kg mixed green fodders (Para:German=3:1) and 2.0 kg concentrate mixtures were offered as a basal diet to each buffalo. Besides these, an additional amount (0.5 kg) of concentrate mixture (wheat bran-50%, mustard oil cake-40%, common salt-2% and di-calcium phosphate-8%) was supplied to each buffalo of the supplemented group. The dry matter intake of the supplemented buffalo was 2.5 and 2% higher (p<0.001) at pre- and post-partum period, respectively than that of the control fed buffalo. Pre- and post-partum body weight, and body condition score of buffaloes between the group were found similar (p>0.05). About 20% more (p=0.02) milk was obtained in the supplemented group compared to the control group, however, the milk composition was not different (p>0.05). Calf birth weight was found ≈10% higher (p=0.51) in the supplemented group than that of the control group. Postpartum heat period and days open of the supplemented buffaloes were reduced remarkably by 13 and 14 days, respectively compared to the buffaloes in control group. Overall, concentrate supplementation to the transient indigenous buffaloes has noteworthy effects on milk yield, postpartum heat period and days open. Bang. J. Anim. Sci. 2020. 49 (1): 83-90

“…These results are in agreement with those obtained by Hung et al (1993), Youssef et al (1998), El-Gaafarawy et al (2003) and El-Ashry et al (2003) who found that birth weight of calves didn't reflected by the level of nutrition, but rather maternal body weight during pregnancy. Khan et al (2004) found that birth weight of calves in the low-energy group was lower (P<0.05) than that of calves in the high-energy group. Cows that were Means in the same row with different letter differ significantly (P < 0.05).…”

The present study was designed to investigate the effect of three energy levels on the performance of Egyptian buffaloes. Eighteen pregnant buffalo cows six years old in the 3 rd season of lactation and weighing on the average 561.06 ± 20.96 kg (at the last three months of pregnancy) were divided randomly into three similar groups. The experimental rations were isonitrogenous with three levels of energy (100, 80 and 120% TDN). The first group served as control and animals were fed ration (R1) containing CFM 45.22%, yellow corn 27.82% and berseem hay 26.96%. The second group was fed ration (R2) containing CFM 45.73%, yellow corn 25.12% and berseem hay. The third group was fed ration (R3) containing CFM 41.84%, yellow corn 31.59% and berseem hay 26.57%. Digestibility trial was conducted at the end of the experiment using three animals from each group. The results showed that: Buffaloes fed 80% dietary energy level recorded lower digestibility values of DM, OM, CP, CF, EE and NFE than those fed 100 and 120 % levels. The nutritive values as TDN or DCP for all groups were quite similar. Animal fed 120 % dietary energy level recorded heavier calf birth weight than those fed 100 and 80 % energy levels with no significant differences. Animals fed 120 % energy level recorded lower (P < 0.01) time lapsed to placenta expulsion (h), interval from calving to uterine horns symmetry and cervical closure (days), as well as number of cervices per conception than those fed 100 and 80 % energy levels. Interval from calving to complete uterine involution, to the first estrus and calving intervals (days) for animals fed 120 % energy level were significantly (P < 0.01) shorter than that fed 80 and 100% energy levels. Buffaloes fed 120 % energy level conceived 26.2 and 62.17 days earlier than those fed 80 % and 100% energy level, respectively. The differences in days open were significant (P < 0.01). Milk yield and fat, protein, lactose, total solids, solid not fat and ash as a percent for buffaloes fed 120 % energy level were significantly higher (P < 0.01) than those fed100 and 80% dietary energy levels. The animals received 120 % dietary energy level recorded highest (P < 0.01) progesterone (ng/ml) and 17-estradiol (pg/ml) than those fed 100 and 80% energy levels. Progesterone concentration increased slightly up to 15 days postpartum and EL-MATARAWY AND SARHAN decreased at 20 days then it increased up to 35 days postpartum. However, 17estradiol concentration (pg/ml) behaved in an opposite trend,

“…This method grades the cow's conditioning status on a six-point scale (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6), where 1 reflects very thin and 6 reflects very fat animal. Cows' body condition was scored on the day of their inclusion in the experiment and after 30 days interval till the end of the experiment.…”

“…The influence of maternal nutrition on the early growth performance of offspring's is mainly mediated through its influence on the birth weight besides milk yield and quality. Although there are many studies that have demonstrated a positive impact of maternal nutrition on the birth weight of calves [2][3][4], its effects on the early growth performance of the calves is often without agreement. There are positive reports of the effect of maternal plane of nutrition on growth performance of calves.…”

The present study was undertaken to assess feeding effect on productive and reproductive performances of pre-natal and post-natal Red Chittagong Cattle (RCC) cows under on-station condition. A total of 16 pregnant RCC cows having pregnancy 6-7 months and between 1-3 parities was selected for the study and was allocated randomly into four dietary treatment groups. There are four type diets, i.e., T 0 (standard diet according to National Research Council (NRC), 1995), T 1 (5% below standard diet), T 2 (5% above standard diet), T 3 (10% above standard diet) and a control treatment T 4 (maintained as farm practice). The energy and protein requirements of experimental cows were determined as per standard developed by NRC. The results revealed that crude protein (CP) and metabolizable energy (ME, MJ/day) requirements among cows of different dietary groups were not significantly different, although CP requirements between T 1 and T 3 differed significantly. Total dry mater (DM) and ME intake differed significantly (P < 0.001) among cows of different dietary groups, but DM intake was significantly lower for cows in farm practice group T 4 compared to the cows of other dietary groups. The total CP intake had no significant variation (P > 0.05) among cows of all dietary groups, but CP intake from roughage varied significantly (P < 0.001). Final live weight and total live weight gain had no significant variation for cows of all groups, but there were significant (P < 0.05) variation for daily weight gain. Daily weight gain of cows for first four dietary groups were significantly (P < 0.05) higher than cows of farm practice groups T 4 . Weight of calf from birth to 90 days and daily weight gain calves under different dietary groups showed that there were no significant (P > 0.05) variation of calf birth weights for all dietary groups, although lower birth weight was found in farm practice groups T 4 . Gestation length and postpartum heat period of cows of different dietary treatment groups revealed that there was no significant (P > 0.05) variation for those traits among cows of different dietary treatment groups, although there seems to be shorter postpartum heat for cows in dietary group T 2 and longer period in farm practice group T 4 . Total and daily milk yield up to 30 days and 90 days of cows had no significant (P > 0.05) effect for different dietary treatment groups, although there seems to be slightly better milk production performance for dietary T 2 and T 0 , respectively for 30 days and 90 days total and daily milk yield. There were no significant (P > 0.05) changes of total and daily weight gain of cows for all dietary groups, however cows of standard dietary group T 0 performed slightly better than those of cows of other dietary groups. Milk composition of cows of different dietary treatment groups showed that there was no significant (P > 0.05) variation on milk composition for cows of different dietary groups. Post-natal body condition score (BCS) for the 1st, 3rd and 4th months differed significan...
