고온기에 있어서 중조와 Vitamin 급여가 착유우의 산유량 및 유조성분 변화에 미치는 효과

Abstract

Sixteen multiparous lactating Holstein cows were used to compare effects of supplementing 1) no additive (Control), 2) 1.2% sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3); 3) niacin (80 g/d), 4) vitamin A+E (140,000 IU + 1000 IU) on feed intake, milk production, milk composition and somatic cell counts during the summer months. Insofar as possible, treatment groups were balanced for lactation number and days in milk. Cows were fed a diet of 9.1 kg DM of concentrate and 10.2 kg DM of corn silage. Daily maximum air temperature in free stall barn was 35 for 3 days of the pretreatment periods and decreased gradually up to 27 during the treatment periods of 15days. Dry matter intake of corn silage was higher (p<0.05) for cows consuming NaHCO3 than those not consuming NaHCO3. Daily milk production for niacin and vitamin A+E supplementations resulted in significant (p<0.001) increase in milk production from 3 day of trials than control and NaHCO3. Milk fat percentage tended (p=0.09) to increase and milk lactose percentage was increased significantly (p<0.001) for cows supplemented with NaHCO3, niacin and vitamin A+E. Milk protein percentages was higher significantly (p<0.05) with supplemental niacin and somatic cell counts was higher significantly (p<0.001) with supplemental vitamin A+E. These data strongly suggest that supplementation of NaHCO3, niacin or vitamin A+E should be increased for improving milk production and mammary gland health of dairy cows under heat stress.
