Milk yield and composition in dairy cows fed a diet with evening primrose (<i>Oenothera paradoxa</i>) full fat seeds or oil cake

Abstract: The experiment was carried out on 30 Black-and-White Lowland dairy cows divided into 3 groups of 10 to investigate the effect of feeding evening primrose {Oenothera paradoxa) full fat seeds or oil cake on milk yield and composition. The animals were fed a basic ration consisting of maize silage, sugar beet top silage, meadow hay or green pasture forage (in summer) and concentrate mixture (control group -C) supplemented with evening primrose oil cake (group -O) or full fat seeds (group -S) from the beginning to… Show more

“…Recent studies confirmed the possibility of increasing the concentration of unsaturated fatty acids in milk by providing cows unsaturated fats fed with plant seeds, soyabean, sunflower, and cotton seeds. Full fat oilseeds have mainly been used for dairy cows: whole sunflower seeds (Rafalowski and Park, 1982), whole cottonseeds (Coppock et al, 1987), evening primrose seeds (Oenoethera paradoxa) (Strzetelski et al, 1999), rape seeds (Murphy et al, 1987;Strzetelski et al, 1992Strzetelski et al, , 1998.…”

“…Murphy et al (1990) reported a significant increase in cow performance as a result of including 15% ground rape seeds into the concentrate and no significant effect of whole rape seeds. Strzetelski et al (1999) reported a tendency to supplement cows' diets with evening primrose seeds (Oenothera paradoxa) to increase milk production and fat content. Also Nowak and Potkanski (2000) recorded a non-significant increase in the yield of milk after the addition of 1.4 rolled rape seed.…”
