Abstract
Buffaloes make better use of coarse and inferior feed by converting them to biologically valuable animal production. They make very good use of the additional production of crop production, such as straw, sunflower cakes, sprouts and other. The aim is to study the physicochemical and fatty acid composition of the rations of buffalo of the Bulgarian mura breed in a church farm in Gigentsi village, Pernik District. The application of standard methods for the nutrition of buffaloes in separate periods - pastured with succulent fodder, winter (indoor) with coarse fodder, through which the ruminants are provided with the necessary nutritional components, allows to obtain high quality milk as a basic raw material for the production of dairy products. The use of succulent fodder and the incorporation of root crops into the feed instead of the buffalo concentrate provides them with respect to linoleic and alphalinolenic fatty acids, which are substrates for the synthesis of CLA (anticancer action) in rumen of ruminants.
Highlights
In many areas of the world, including Asia and Europe, where buffalos are an integral part of the food chain and the rural economy, the irregular and inadequate supply of quality feed and their proper nutrition impedes the work of this unique animal
Various buffalo feeding practices in Italy rely on rations depending on the physiological category of the animals-usually a total, mixed ration based on maize silage 60 and ryegrass 40%
Higher productivity requires concentrated feed. Milk buffaloes meet their nutritional needs with green fodder in the amount of 35-80 kg
Summary
In many areas of the world, including Asia and Europe, where buffalos are an integral part of the food chain and the rural economy, the irregular and inadequate supply of quality feed and their proper nutrition impedes the work of this unique animal. Many efforts have been made in the last few decades to improve the nutrition and productivity of the various buffalo categories (Sarwar, Khan, Nisa, Bhatti, & Shahzad, 2009; Wanapat & Kang, 2013). Various buffalo feeding practices in Italy rely on rations depending on the physiological category of the animals-usually a total, mixed ration based on maize silage 60 and ryegrass 40%. The buffalo feeding system is intense, similar to that of dairy cows (Sabia et al, 2015)
