Evaluation of the Difference in Body Composition of Thai Native Cattle and Swamp Buffaloes from that of Holstein Cattle in Northeast Thailand Using Urea Space

Abstract: Four female Holstein cattle (Holstein, average body weight (BW) 359 kg), four castrated male native cattle (Native, 257 kg) and four castrated male swamp buffaloes (Buffalo, 543 kg) were subjected to urea space measurements to determine body composition of the different animals and to investigate the effect of 48 h of water deprivation on the change of body composition in Northeast Thailand. The percentage of empty body protein (EBPRO) compared to empty body weight (EBW) was similar among Holstein, Native and … Show more

“…All groups of treatment were also subjected to body composition measurement after one week of feed digestibility test. The experiment of urea dilution technique was conducted according to the procedure of Nonaka et al (2006) and Hanna (2010). A solution of urea of 200 g per liter (0.65 mg per live body weight) was injected into the jugular vein through a cannula at a rate of 120 ml/min.…”

“…Technique of urea dilution is commonly used for estimating body composition of ruminants (Velazco et al, 1997;Nonaka et al, 2006;Shingu et al, 2007;Hanna, 2010). In this study, body composition of goats fed on different levels of sugarcane bagasse was determined using the urea dilution technique.…”

“…Tomlinson et al (1997) reported that increasing portion of rumen undegradable protein in a diet did not decrease percentage of body fat, thereby body protein percentage remained unchanged, though body weight of heifer gained according to the portion of dietary protein. Nonaka et al (2006) clarified that deprivation of drinking water in cattle and buffalo causes a decrease in body weight and fat percentage but percentage of body protein remains unchanged.…”
