Download or read book Nutrition During Lactation written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 1991-02-01 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On the basis of a comprehensive literature review and analysis, Nutrition During Lactation points out specific directions for needed research in understanding the relationship between the nutrition of healthy mothers and the outcomes of lactation. Of widest interest are the committee's clear-cut recommendations for mothers and health care providers. The volume presents data on who among U.S. mothers is breastfeeding, a critical evaluation of methods for assessing the nutritional status of lactating women, and an analysis of how to relate the mother's nutrition to the volume and composition of the milk. Available data on the links between a mother's nutrition and the nutrition and growth of her infant and current information on the risk of transmission through breastfeeding of allergic diseases, environmental toxins, and certain viruses (including the HIV virus) are included. Nutrition During Lactation also studies the effects of maternal cigarette smoking, drug use, and alcohol consumption.

Download or read book New Approaches to Assess and Improve Protein Efficiency in Lactating Dairy Cows written by Enhong Liu and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The long-term goal of the work is to improve protein efficiency in lactating dairy cows. To achieve this goal, four specific objectives were proposed: 1) determine the relationship of residual feed intake (RFI) to protein efficiency in lactating Holstein cows fed high or low protein diets, 2) determine whether low protein resilience (LPR) is an indicator of protein efficiency in individual dairy cows, 3) examine the association of digestibility with RFI and LPR in lactating dairy cows, and 4) quantify the importance of including body weight (BW) change in the cow response to decreased dietary protein content and develop models for predicting BW change when dietary protein is altered. Lactating Holstein cows (n= 166; 92 primiparous, 77 multiparous) with initial milk yield (MY) of 41 ± 9.8 kg/d were fed high (HP) and low (LP) protein diets in crossover experiments of two 28-35 d periods. Experiments were repeated in 69 of the 166 cows (42 primiparous, 27 multiparous) in late lactation. Low protein diets were 14% CP in peak lactation and 13% CP in late lactation and were formulated to contain adequate rumen-degraded protein to maintain rumen function. Expeller soybean meal was added to formulate the HP diet, which contained 18% CP in peak lactation and 16% CP in late lactation. Cows were milked twice daily; DMI and MY were recorded once daily. Milk composition was measured over 4 consecutive milkings weekly, and BW was measured 3 times weekly. Samples of feed ingredients, orts and feces were collected in the last 5 days of each period and analyzed to determine digestibilities of DM, NDF, and CP for each cow on each diet. Fixed effects of diet, parity, treatment sequence nested in experiment, treatment period nested in experiment, interaction of parity and diet, and random effects of experiment and cow nested within experiment were included in models to compare production of cows fed different levels of CP. Protein efficiency was calculated for each cow on each diet in both peak lactation and late lactation. Residual feed intake was estimated for each cow on each treatment based on the actual intake, milk energy output, metabolic BW, and body energy change (estimated from BW change and BCS). Low protein resilience was estimated for each cow in peak lactation and also late lactation, based on protein captured in milk and body tissue when fed the LP vs HP diet. A negative correlation was observed between RFI and protein efficiency in cows fed the HP and LP diets in peak lactation and cows fed the HP diet in late lactation. Cows with higher LPR values had similar protein efficiency on the HP diet but significantly higher protein efficiency on the LP diet. Neither RFI nor LPR was correlated with digestibility regardless of diets or lactation stages. When dietary protein content was reduced, 40-50 % of the total energy loss, 10-20 % of total protein loss, and 15-25% of total income loss were due to BW loss, indicating that considering only changes in milk production underestimates the impact of dietary protein changes. In conclusion, 1) cows with lower RFI values utilized protein more efficiently, and protein efficiency will be improved in the process of selecting dairy cattle for low RFI, 2) cows with higher LPR values are better able to maintain production and have higher protein efficiency to adapt to low-protein feeding conditions, 3) variation in digestibility cannot explain the variations of RFI or LPR among lactating dairy cows, and we suggest that post-absorptive metabolism explains most of the variation in RFI and LPR when lactating cows are fed diets with minimal NDF in peak lactation and 40% NDF in late lactation, and 4) body reserve mobilization should not be neglected when assessing the cow response to changes in dietary protein.

Download or read book Feeding Concentrates written by Roy Kellaway and published by Landlinks Press. This book was released on 2004-02-19 with total page 190 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents strategies for feeding energy and protein supplements to pasture-fed dairy cows and examines the potential economic benefits. Effective supplementary feeding of concentrates is critical to the success of all dairy farms. This book is a substantially revised edition of 'Feeding Concentrates: Supplements for Dairy Cows' DRDC 1993. It focuses on feeding concentrates to pasture fed cows to achieve high milk production per cow per hectare, and will assist farmers to decide which supplements give the best results in their particular situation. The benefits that arise from supplementary feeding include higher stocking rates, promotion of growth in heifers and young cows; better body condition score and increased lactation length when pasture is less available; improved pasture use; reduced cost per tonne of pasture eaten; flexibility to increase milk production when milk prices are high; and increased milk protein content when the energy content in pasture is low. This edition has thoroughly reviewed the issues and clearly documents the results of research particularly for grains supplementation. The summaries and recommendations in each chapter will be particularly helpful to dairy farmers in making best management decisions relating to concentrate feeding.

Download or read book The gestating and lactating sow written by Chantal Farmer and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2023-09-04 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last book on the lactating sow was published over 15 years ago. This new book brings us up to date in current knowledge on the gestating and lactating sow. It covers new and important topics such as conditioning of gilts for optimal reproductive performance, feeding high fibre diets to gestating sows and providing various fat sources in gestation and lactation. It also describes the several key success factors to group-housing systems in gestation, which is a must due to the current move towards group-housing. The new concept of transition feeding for sows is discussed, as well as the factors involved in mammary development of gilts and sows, both of which are instrumental for maximum colostrum and/or milk yields. The impact of the human-animal interactions on sow welfare and performance is discussed with focus on new handling practices that could be developed to overbalance the negative interactions inherent to pig management systems. Updates on must-have topics, such as amino acid and energy requirements of sows, colostrum and milk yield and composition, and sow health are also provided. The subjects covered in this book will assist animal scientists, nutritionists, veterinarians and swine producers in learning the most recent information on relevant and current topics affecting sow production, and in knowing which areas are in need of further research efforts.
