Effect of paddy straw based complete rations with different levels of neutral detergent fibre on microbial protein synthesis in dairy cows during early and mid lactation
A study was conducted in 18 lactating dairy cows (mean milk yield 10 kg/day) for 6 months by feeding paddy straw based complete rations containing different levels of NDF, in two phases, viz.early and mid lactation, to assess the microbial protein synthesis using purine derivatives (PD) excreted in urine.Isonitrogenous and isocaloric complete ratio
