Abstract
Aim:
To investigate the effect of pre-partum prilled fat feeding on
dry matter intake (DMI), energy balance and milk production in
Murrah buffaloes.
Materials and Methods:
Advance pregnant Murrah buffaloes were either received a dietary
supplement of prilled fat at 100 g/day for 35 days pre-partum
and at 150 g/day for 95 days post-partum (supplemented group [SG])
or did not receive fat supplement (control group [CG]). DMI and
the yields of milk and milk component were measured. A body
condition score (BCS) was recorded. Energy balance and gross
feed efficiency (GFE) were calculated. DMI and BCS were recorded
and milk yield (MY), fat, protein, lactose, solid not fat,
energy balance were measured. The fat corrected milk yield was
calculated.
Results:
The DMI was non-significant between groups and periods of study.
BCS of buffaloes improved in the SG than CG (p<0.01). The energy
intake in terms of total digestible nutrients (TDN%), TDN
intake, digestible energy (DE), metabolizable energy/kg of milk,
DE of milk, net energy, and GFE were higher (p<0.01) in SG
during post-partum period. Crude protein intake was
statistically similar in both the groups. MY was higher (p<0.01)
in SG than in CG during 95 days of early lactation. Milk fat,
fat corrected MY was higher (p<0.01) in SG however protein,
lactose and solid not fat content did not varied between the
groups. The feed efficiency of the SG was higher (p<0.01) than
the CG during the post-partum period.
Conclusion:
It was inferred that prilled fat supplementation augments energy
balance and milk production in transition Murrah buffaloes.
