Article Synopsis
- - A review of 32 research papers assessed the impact of rumen-protected choline (RPC) supplementation on metabolic and reproductive performance in transitional dairy cows, with doses ranging from 10 to 100 gm/day and feeding periods varying from 40 to 140 days before and after calving.
- - Findings highlighted that adding herbal choline to dairy cows' diets increased milk production and quality, improved energy balance, and reduced oxidative stress, while also enhancing colostrum IgG concentration for better immunity in calves.
- - The review suggested that a daily RPC dosage of 45-50 gm from 3 weeks pre-calving to 8 weeks post-calving could boost milk yield by at least 10%, although the effects on
Objective: The objectives were to determine the appropriate level of dried cassava top (DCT) in total mixed ration (TMR) based on production performance and carcass characteristics of fattening Charolais crossbred steers.
Materials And Methods: Fifteen fattening Charolais crossbred steers were randomly assigned to a randomized complete block design with initial body weight to receive three treatments, including without DCT, 15% DCT, and 30% DCT in TMR, on a dry matter (DM) basis. The production trial lasted 120 days; then, the fattened steers were slaughtered to study the carcass characteristics.
The effect of protein intake on nutrient metabolism and growth performance of female ≥ 50% Boer crossbred goats was investigated, along with protein requirements for their maintenance. Sixteen does were divided into four groups that were fed different levels of crude protein relative to the level recommended for purebred Boer by NRC (2007): 85% (0.85 M), 100% (1.

Four multiparous early-to-mid-lactation Holstein-Friesian crossbred cows were randomly allocated in a 4 × 4 Latin square design. Cows were fed a balanced total mixed ration (TMR) on a dry matter (DM) basis containing 0, 1.

Three Ruzi grass sub-fields were used for twenty heads of beef cattle for a 7-month experiment from February to August 2017. Yeast, molasses, and urea-fermented cassava starch residue was offered at 1.
