Effect of Cotton Seed Cake on Cattle Milk Yield and Composition at
Livestock Research and Development Station Surezai, Peshawar, Pakistan
Abstract:
The present study was conducted at Livestock Research and Development
Station Surezai, Peshawar during June to August 2011. The objectives of this
study were to determine the effect of Cotton Seed Cake (CSC) on milk yield,
milk composition, feed intake, Body Condition Score (BCS) and live weight of
Holstein Friesian (HF) crossbred cows. A total of nine mid-lactation crossbred
cows were randomly distributed to three groups and allocated to diets containing
zero (control), 20 and 35 percent CSC. All the three rations were Isocaloric
and Isonitrogeniuos. Each cow was given a daily feed ration according to NRC
standards. Mean daily milk yield differed (P<0.05) among all treatment groups.
However, highest milk yield 5.68±0.096 kg/day was recorded for cows feed
35% CSC while the control group (0% CSC) produced the least yield 4.473±0.184
kg/day. Cows on 35% CSC produced higher milk fat 4.46±0.22 percent and
have significant (P<0.05) effect on milk fat content while the control group
produced the least 3.35±0.22 percent fat. CSC had no significant (P>0.05)
effect on protein content in milk as cows on 35% CSC diet produced the least
2.7±0.09 percent protein, while the control group produce the highest
3.00±0.09 percent. The concentration of Lactose and total milk solid
not fat (SNF) content was higher (P>0.05) for control group than the cows
fed on other diet. There was significant (P<0.05) difference in daily feed
intake as the cows on 35% CSC diet had the highest daily feed intake of 32.478±0.31kg/day
while the control group had the least intake 29.138±0.31kg/day. Experimental
rations had no significant (P>0.05) effect on mean changes in BCS. The Live
weight was not effected significantly (P>0.05) by rations, However highest
mean change in weight gain of 7.66±4.95kg/45day was recorded for cows
fed ration having 35% CSC while least 5.00 ±7.90 kg/45day was recorded
for cows fed zero% CSC in the ration. Economically ration having 35% CSC had
the lowest cost of milk production (Rs: 17.14/kg) as compared to ration having
20% (Rs.19.68/kg) and Zero% CSC (Rs.21.6/kg). These results concluded that milk
yield; milk fat and feed intake was increased with supplementation of high level
of cotton seed cake in the dairy cattle ration. Higher proportion of CSC (35%)
has shown the best efficiency of production as compare to other rations.
