Protein Requirement in Cow
Protein Requirement in Cow
Whereas excess dietary protein can impair reproduction and may contribute to
lameness, there's no evidence to suggest that reducing dietary CP levels to around 40
to 60 kg CP/kg DM may have any detrimental effect on either cow fertility or health.
Q 5: - Justify figure 5.2.
Cows must calve to make milk and the lactation cycle is the period among one calving
and the accompanying.
The cycle is a part into 4 phases: the early, mid and overdue lactation and the dry time
span.
Figure five.2 display the interrelations between milk yield, feed consumption and live
weight for a Friesian cow with a 14-month inter calving duration, subsequently a 360-
day lactation.
To do this, cows need to have sufficient body situation available to lose, and therefore
they want to have placed on weight past due within the preceding lactation or at some
stage in the dry period.
