Production of 3 °/ fat corrected milk was lowest with diet C (kg/day : A = 3.58 ; B = 3.73 ; C = 3.15, s x = 0.22). Both diets with higher fat content increased the protein and fat content of milk (protein % : A = 2.67" ; B = 2.81 ; C = 2.86 6 ; P < 0.05 ; fat % : A = 2.83 ; B = 3.20 ; C = 3.28). These diets decreased the content of middle chain fatty acids and increased that of long chain fatty acids.The dietary treatments had no significant effect on the concentration of blood metabolites and enzymes, except for cholesterol, whose level was increased with fat supplements.In conclusion, addition of a limited amount of a good quality fat (of animal or vegetable origin) to a forage-based diet can be a valuable solution for increasing concentrated energy and fatty acids in the diet of high producing ruminants.
Zusammenfassung
Streuung und Wiederholbarkeit der am Schaf bestimmten Verdaulichkeit
Eine Gesamtauswertung von 38 an Schafen während 10 Jahren an unserer Forschungsanstalt durchgeführten Verdauungsversuchen erlaubte die Ermittlung der Streuung und der Wiederholbarkeit der Verdaulichkeit. Den kleinsten Versuchsfehler (1,1%) ergaben Heurationen, den höchsten (2,0%) Maissilagerationen. Nur 38% der Tiere waren verläßlich, denn sie wiesen eine durchschnittliche Abweichung von der mittleren Verdaulichkeit der organischen Substanz von weniger als 1,1 Einheiten bei einer Standardabweichung von weniger als 2 auf.
Im allgemeinen war es möglich, mit 4 Tieren pro Behandlung eine Differenz von 6% der Verdaulichkeit der organischen Substanz festzustellen. In einem Wiederholbarkeitsversuch mit demselben Futter, das in einem 21‐Monate Intervall an dieselben 17 Schafe verfüttert wurde, stimmten die Werte für die Verdaulichkeit der organischen Substanz überein, während bei der Rohfaser ein signifikanter Unterschied bestand (P < 0,01).
and retained were higher in the high compared with the low CP diets. Using the N-balance data obtained in this trial the CP requirements of a 60 kg goat, producing 1 In both periods, goats ingested more hay with the cereals and fat supplements than with the beet supplement (kg DM/day, 1st period : A = 1.058 a ; B = 0.8201, ; C = 0.910! ; 2nd period : A = 1.557 a b ; B = 1.354 a ; C = 1.790''; P < 0.5). The energy intake of the animals on the fat diet was larger only at the lower concentrate level. The beet and fat supplements increased the digestibility of organic matter (1st period : A - In blood, the fat supplement increased the concentration of urea, glucose, triglycerides and GLDH and decreased the concentration of (3-hydroxybutyrate. The beet supplement decreased the concentration of triglycerides and increased the concentration of (3-hydroxybutyrate at both concentrate levels ; furthermore it increased the glucose concentration only at the low level.The fat supplement increased the production of 3.5 p. 100 fat corrected milk, increasing both the concentration the quantity of fat and lactose.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
