Abstract |
Thirty multiparous lactating buffaloes weighing 500 to 600 kg were fed three levels of fiber with or without fibrolytic enzyme (cellulase and xylanase) treated roughage. Rations were formulated from berseem hay, corn silages and rice straw yellow corn grain. soybean meal, wheat bran, minerals. and vitamins. The contents of crude fiber (CF). neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and acid detergent fiber (ADF) were 21.95,49.48 and 32.21 % (high), 19.50.45.46 and 29.20% (medium) and 16.97.41.14 and 26.0 I % (low) for rations contained 75, 62.5. and 50% roughage consisted of 40% berseem hay. 40% corn silage and 20% rice straw (on DM basis) respectively. The digestibility of dry matter (DM), organic matter (OM). crude protein (CP). ether extract (EE) and nitrogen free extract (NFE) and nutritive values decreased significantly (p<0.05). but crude fiber (CF) increased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing fiber content. The digestibility of all nutrients and nutritive values increased significantly (p<0.05) with fibrolytic enzyme supplementation. The intake of DM, total digestible nutrients (TDN), CP and digestible crude protein (DCP) increased significantly(P<0.05) with decreasing dietary fiber content as well as with fibrolytic enzyme supplementation. The pH value increased significantly (P<0.05), however total volatile fatty acids (TVFA's) and ammonia nitrogen (NH3-N) concentrations decreased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing dietary fiber content. The pH value and NH3-N concentration were significantly lower (P<0.05), but TVFA's concentration was significantly higher (P<0.05) with fibrolytic enzyme supplementation. The milk yield and 7% fat corrected milk (FCM) increased significantly (P<0.05) with decreasing dietary fiber content as well as with fibrolytie enzyme supplementation. Fat and TS contents increased and lactose and SNF contents decreased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing dietary fiber content. The contents of milk constituents increased significantly (P<0.05) with fibrolytic enzyme supplementation. The DM and CP/kg FCM increased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing dietary fiber content, but TDN, CP and DCP/kg FCM did not change significantly (P>0.05) by dietary fiber content. Feed conversion improved significantly (P<0.05) with fibrolytie enzyme supplementation. Average daily feed cost, feed cost/ kg 7% FCM and output of 7% FCM decreased significantly (P<0.05), but economic efficiency increased significantly (P<0.05) with increasing dietary fiber content. Feed cost/ kg 7% FCM decreased significantly ( P<0.05) but output of 7% FCM and economic efficiency increased significantly (P<0.05) with fibrolytic enzyme supplementation. It could be concluded that using high fiber total mixed ration due to increasing forage level was economically elective in buffaloes feeding and fibmlytic enzymes supplementation improved productive performance.
