青贮金针菇对荷斯坦奶牛瘤胃发酵、甲烷排放及原生动物数量的影响

文章旨在研究不同水平青贮金针菇及尿素对奶牛养分消化率、瘤胃发酵、甲烷排放及原生动物数量的影响。试验选择15头荷斯坦奶牛[(542±68)kg],随机分为5组,每组3个重复,每个重复1头牛。试验一共设计5种日粮,对照组饲喂基础日粮,各处理组分别在基础饲粮中添加青贮金针菇,处理1组(90%青贮金针菇,10%玉米秸秆),处理2组(90%青贮金针菇,9%玉米秸秆,1%尿素),处理3组(80%青贮金针菇,20%玉米秸秆),处理4组(80%青贮金针菇,19%玉米秸秆,1%尿素)。试验期分为2周适应期和1周数据收集期。饲粮中添加青贮金针菇较对照组显著提高了酸性洗涤木质素的摄入量(P<0.05);金针菇添加水平和尿素对干物质和其他营养素的摄入量无显著影响(P>0.05)。与对照组相比,在处理组日粮中添加青贮金针菇显著增加总短链脂肪酸(SCFA)和丙酸含量(P<0.05),但乙酸含量及乙酸与丙酸比值显著降低(P<0.05)。添加青贮金针菇和尿素对短链脂肪酸含量有显著影响(P<0.05)。日粮添加80%青贮金针菇和1%尿素时,乙酸浓度显著高于未添加尿素组(P<0.05);青贮金针菇日粮添加尿素显著降低了瘤胃丁酸含量(P<0.05)。与对照组相比,在日粮中添加青贮金针菇可显著降低瘤胃原生动物总数(P<0.05)。饲粮中添加青贮金针菇可导致荷斯坦奶牛瘤胃原生动物总数逐步减少(P<0.05)。青贮金针菇日粮组中螺旋体数量显著高于对照组(P<0.05)。饲喂青贮金针菇的荷斯坦奶牛较对照组显著降低了甲烷排放量(P<0.05)。综上所述,用金针菇废弃底物与尿素、玉米秸秆混合日粮可以提高奶牛日粮的营养价值,日粮添加青贮金针菇显著降低了奶牛瘤胃原生动物种群和肠道甲烷排放量。     

青贮绿豆叶对奶牛采食量、养分消化及乳成分的影响

文章旨在评估日粮添加不同水平的青贮绿豆叶对泌乳期奶牛采食量、养分消化、乳成分及血液代谢物的影响。试验将平均泌乳量为（6.47±0.68）kg的24头荷斯坦奶牛随机分为4组，每组6个重复，每个重复1头牛。对照组与处理组分别饲喂青贮绿豆叶水平为0、5%、10%和15%的浓缩料，整个10周的饲养试验期间，各组均自由采食水稻秸秆。结果：10%和15%青贮绿豆叶组奶牛的水稻秸秆采食量较对照组分别显著提高10.36%和11.01%（P＜0.05），10%青贮绿豆叶组奶牛总可消化养分摄入量较对照组显著提高15.74%（P＜0.05）。对照组奶牛中性洗涤纤维表观消化率较10%青贮绿豆叶组显著降低7.54%（P＜0.05），同时该组酸性洗涤纤维表观消化率较10%和15%青贮绿豆叶组分别显著降低9.81%和10.32%（P＜0.05）。与对照组相比，10%和15%青贮绿豆叶组乳脂肪产量分别显著提高5.63%和5.18%（P＜0.05）。日粮添加不同水平的青贮绿豆叶对奶牛血液代谢物浓度的影响无显著差异（P＞0.05）。结论：浓缩料中青贮绿豆叶添加水平为10%时可以提高泌乳期奶牛水稻秸秆采食量和总可消化养分的摄入量及纤维消化率，提高乳脂肪产量。 [关键词]绿豆叶|奶牛|采食量|养分消化|乳成分     

饲粮中添加禾王草对泌乳奶牛瘤胃发酵和生产性能的影响

为提高牧场养殖经济效益,本文研究了饲粮中添加禾王草青贮或干草对泌乳奶牛瘤胃发酵、营养物质消化率和生产性能的影响。选取45头健康荷斯坦奶牛,按产奶量、胎次和泌乳天数等相近原则随机分成3组。对照组饲粮粗饲料由全株玉米青贮、羊草和苜蓿干草构成,试验Ⅰ组粗饲料由禾王草青贮、全株玉米青贮、羊草和苜蓿干草构成,试验Ⅱ组粗饲料由禾王草干草、全株玉米青贮和苜蓿干草构成,3组饲粮营养水平相近。预试期10 d,正试期60 d。结果表明:1)与对照组相比,试验Ⅰ组能显著提高瘤胃液氨态氮含量和乙酸含量、乳蛋白率(P0.05),对其他乳成分、干物质采食量(DMI)、产奶量和营养物质消化率影响不显著(P0.05),每头牛每天多盈利1.19元。2)与对照组相比,试验Ⅱ组能显著降低瘤胃液氨态氮含量(P0.05),对乳成分和营养物质消化率没有显著影响(P0.05),能提高奶牛的DMI和产奶量,差异不显著(P0.05),每头牛每天多盈利2.07元。由此可知,用禾王草青贮代替适量全株玉米青贮或用禾王草干草代替部分苜蓿干草不会影响奶牛的生产性能,同时会提高牧场奶牛养殖经济效益。

饲喂小麦秸秆和小麦青贮对泌乳奶牛采食量、产奶性能和消化率的影响

本试验旨在研究小麦秸秆和小麦青贮替代部分全株玉米青贮对泌乳中后期荷斯坦奶牛采食量、产奶性能和消化率的影响。选取体重、胎次、泌乳期和产奶量相近的36头健康荷斯坦泌乳中后期奶牛,将其随机分为3组(对照组、小麦秸秆组和小麦青贮组),每组12个重复,每个重复1头牛,隔栏单独饲养。对照组饲喂全株玉米青贮的TMR饲粮,小麦秸秆组饲喂含有12%小麦秸秆的TMR饲粮,小麦青贮组饲喂含有20%小麦青贮的TMR饲粮,试验期共70 d,其中预饲期14 d,正式期56 d。结果表明,小麦秸秆组奶牛的干物质采食量(Dry matter intake,DMI)显著高于对照组和小麦青贮组(P0.05),对照组和小麦青贮组奶牛的DMI无显著差异(P0.05)。3组奶牛的可消化干物质采食量之间无显著差异(P0.05)。小麦秸秆组奶牛的干物质(DM)、粗蛋白质(CP)、粗脂肪(CF)的消化率显著低于对照组和小麦青贮组奶牛(P0.05),对照组和小麦青贮组奶牛之间的营养物质消化率差异不显著(P0.05)。随着泌乳时间的延长,3组奶牛的日均产奶量逐渐降低。对照组奶牛的日均产奶量最高,为(16.84±4.92)kg/d;小麦青贮组奶牛的日均产奶量为(16.60±4.68)kg/d;小麦秸秆组奶牛的日均产奶量最低,为(16.37±3.66)kg/d,但3组奶牛的日均产奶量差异不显著(P0.05)。随着泌乳天数的增加,对照组奶牛乳蛋白率、乳糖率高于小麦秸秆组奶牛和小麦青贮组奶牛,但差异不显著(P0.05)。小麦秸秆组奶牛的乳脂率显著高于对照组和小麦青贮组(P0.05),小麦青贮组奶牛的乳脂率与对照组奶牛无显著差异(P0.05)。因此,在本试验条件下,使用小麦秸秆和小麦青贮替代部分全株玉米青贮对泌乳中后期荷斯坦奶牛无显著影响,生产中可以利用小麦秸秆和小麦青贮替代部分全株玉米青贮作为奶牛饲料来源。     

粗饲料种类、可代谢蛋白质浓度、碳水化合物来源对奶牛养分消化率及生产性能的影响

本试验采用中心组合试验设计对粗饲料来源、可代谢蛋白质(MP)浓度、碳水化合物种类及其互作效应对奶牛养分消化率和生产性能的影响进行了评价。所有日粮(干物质基础)均有50%由苜蓿青贮、玉米青贮构成的粗饲料、10.7%的瘤胃降解蛋白质(RDP)、4.1%~7.1%的瘤胃未降解蛋白质(RUP)、8.8%~12%的MP和22%~30%的淀粉组成。本试验共有15种日粮,试验牛分为6个区组,每个区组6头荷斯坦奶牛,分别进行3个为期21 d的试验。每期按特定顺序饲喂3种日粮后测定试验牛的产奶量、乳成分、采食量及主要营养物质消化率,还考虑了几个主要影响因素间的互作效应。结果表明:日粮淀粉浓度对奶牛养分消化率和生产性能影响较小;用苜蓿青贮代替玉米青贮可降低奶牛的氮消化率、提高中性洗涤纤维(NDF)消化率,还能增加奶牛对日粮干物质(DM)和日粮消化能(DE)摄入量,从而提高能量校正乳(ECM)、乳脂及乳蛋白产量;增加日粮MP浓度可提高奶牛对氮的消化率、ECM和乳蛋白产量,但乳蛋白含量的变化远小于NRC所推荐模型的预测值;DE浓度随淀粉浓度升高呈线性升高,但同时受粗饲料种类和MP浓度互作的影响,即日粮MP浓度较低时,DE浓度会随苜蓿青贮比例升高而降低,而日粮MP浓度较高时,DE浓度会随苜蓿青贮比例升高而升高。     

不同硒源对泌乳中期荷斯坦奶牛生产性能、抗氧化性能及营养物质表观消化率的影响

粗饲料组合对奶牛饲粮养分消化率、能量和氮的利用的影响

本试验旨在研究粗饲料组合对奶牛饲粮养分消化率、能量和氮的利用的影响。试验采用单因素随机区组设计,将 １６头体重、年龄、胎次相近的,处于干奶期的健康荷斯坦奶牛分为 ４组,每组 ４头。以常用的粗饲料设计 Ａ（玉米青贮 ＋玉米秸秆）、Ｂ（玉米青贮 ＋羊草）、Ｃ（玉米青贮 ＋玉米秸秆 ＋羊草）、Ｄ（玉米青贮 ＋苜蓿草 ＋羊草）４种粗饲料组合的饲粮。结果表明：饲粮Ｄ干物质、有机物和中性洗涤纤维的消化率最高,显著高于其他各饲粮（Ｐ＜０．０５）,其次为饲粮Ｂ和饲粮 Ｃ,饲粮 Ａ最低,显著低于其他各饲粮（Ｐ＜０．０５）,各饲粮的酸性洗涤纤维消化率差异不显著（Ｐ＞０．０５）。粗饲料组合显著影响饲粮摄入总能、能量消化率和能量代谢率（Ｐ＜０．０５）,饲粮 Ｄ甲烷能占摄入总能比显著低于其他 ３种饲粮（Ｐ＜０．０５）。各饲粮的粪氮、尿氮占摄入总氮比差异不显著（Ｐ＞０．０５）,饲粮 Ｄ的氮消化率显著高于饲粮 Ｂ与饲粮 Ｃ（Ｐ＜０．０５）,且饲粮 Ｂ显著高于饲粮 Ａ（Ｐ＜０．０５）;饲粮 Ｂ、饲粮 Ｄ的氮利用率显著高于饲粮 Ａ（Ｐ＜０．０５）。由此可见,玉米青贮 ＋苜蓿草 ＋羊草型饲粮的养分消化率、能量和氮的利用均优于其他各饲粮,羊草与玉米秸秆之间存在正组合效应,两者搭配使用可提高玉米秸秆的消化率,优化能量和氮的利用。     

Voluntary intake and milk production in F1 Holstein × zebu cows in confinement

The objective of this study was to evaluate the nutrient intake and milk production in Holstein × zebu (F1) cows in feedlot. Eighteen F1 cows were used, divided into three treatments; six were Holstein × Gir (HGI), six were Holstein × Guzerat (HGU), and another six were Holstein × Nelore (HNE), which had recently calved, distributed into simple, random samples, under the same feeding conditions of corn silage and concentrate with 20% crude protein. The three-marker method was used (LIPE, titanium dioxide, and iADF) to estimate the individual intake and digestibility of the nutrients for the cows in group. The mathematical model used to establish the lactation curves was: Y = at(b)e(-ct) by Wood (Nature 216:164-165, 1967). The statistical analyses for the nutrient intake and digestibility, as well as parameters of metabolic efficiency, were performed using multiple linear regression (α = 5%). No effect (P > 0.05) of genetic group was observed for any of the variables studied. The intake and digestibility of the nutrients and the microbial nitrogen presented quadratic curves as a function of the lactation period (P < 0.05). The HGU cows exhibited an accumulated milk production of 4,946.81 kg at 305 days, whereas the HGI cows produced 4,821.78 kg. The HNE cows displayed inferior performance, with a production of 3,674.98 kg. It was concluded that, in confinement, F1 cows from different genetic groups do not exhibit different intake, digestibility, or metabolic efficiency. The HGU and HGI cows have greater cumulative production at 305 days.     

Sorghum silage supplemented with crambe meal improves dry matter intake and milk production in crossbred Holstein cows

We studied the feed intake and milk production of Holstein × Zebu crossbred cows fed sorghum silage diets and concentrates, with and without the addition of crambe meal. Using a change-over design for a total of 120 days, eight cows were fed two diets (concentrates + silages with and without crambe meal) in four 30-day periods, with four replications (animals). The crambe meal diet increased (P < 0.05) the dry matter intake (DMI), crude protein intake (CPI), and non-fibrous carbohydrates intake (NFCI) as well as milk production (4.3%). No difference was noted (P > 0.05) for the milk composition between the treatments. Crambe meal as an additive in sorghum silage (100 g/kg in natural matter) showed a great potential for introduction in dairy farming as it substantially increases CP intake, does not reduce food intake, raises animal productivity, and does not affect milk composition.

Studies on the use of lucerne silage source for high-milk-producing dairy cows

Studies on the use of lucerne silage as a forage source for high-yielding dairy cows. It was the main objective of this study to investigate effects of lucerne silage inclusion in maize silage-based rations on dry matter intake, milk yield and metabolic parameters of high yielding dairy cows. Three total mixed rations (TMR) were used. They contained as the main forage source on a dry matter basis 41.5% maize silage and 12% grass silage (ration maize) or 18% maize silage and 29% of either grass silage (ration grass) or lucerne silage (ration lucerne). Organic matter digestibility, determined with wether sheep, was 77 and 65% for the grass and the lucerne silage, respectively. Each TMR was fed to 4 wether sheep to determine crude nutrient digestibilities. The content of net energy for lactation (NEL), as calculated from digestible crude nutrients, was (MJ/kg dry matter (DM)): 7.1 (maize), 7.2 (grass) and 6.8 (lucerne). Based on the results of a chemical fractionation of crude protein it was calculated that the content of utilisable crude protein (nXP) was not below 167 g/kg DM and that the N balance in the rumen was not negative for all 3 TMR. The TMR were fed for 169 days to at least 28 dairy cows per treatment which were in their first half of lactation. Feed intake, milk performance data and physiological indicators were measured for each individual cow. The DM intake was significantly higher in treatment lucerne (23.2 kg/d) than in treatments grass (21.2 kg/d) and maize (22.6 kg/d). Daily intakes of NEL and nXP were significantly lower in treatment grass than in the other two treatments. Milk yield was significantly higher in treatment maize (41.7 kg/d) than in treatments grass (37.3 kg/d) and lucerne (38.5 kg/d). This was associated with a significantly lower milk fat content in treatment maize (3.5%) in comparison with the other two treatments (3.9% each). Milk protein content was unaffected by treatment (3.4% on average). Similarly, the acetone content of milk was not significantly different between treatments. The beta-hydroxybutyrate content of the deproteinized blood was significantly higher in treatment lucerne at start of lactation, but this difference disappeared in subsequent parts of the experimental period. Measurements of back fat thickness indicated mobilisation and retention of energy by cows during the experimental period to be similar in all treatments. It is concluded that lucerne silage is a suitable forage source for high yielding dairy cows in spite of its low digestibility.
