Utilization of Sugarcane By-Products as Complete Rations for  Milk Production in Buffaloes

Earlier studies at the Centre for Dairy Research have examined the effect on feed intake and milk production of a range of by-products used in a total mixed ration (TMR) based on maize silage. These studies showed that distillers grains and molassed sugar beet feed (MSBF) could be used to replace cereal and protein supplements, with no effect on milk yield and dry matter (DM) intake but with a large reduction in milk fat and a little change in milk protein content. The aim of the current study was to examine the effect on feed intake and milk production of lactating dairy cows offered a TMR in which Stockmol 20, a molasses supplement (92 g/kg DM crude protein and 12.3 MJ ME/kg DM) and Regumaize 44, a high protein molasses urea based liquid (440 g/kg DM crude protein and 10.7 MJ ME/kg DM) were used to replace conventional energy and protein sources.

Different Levels

In recent years sugarcane had been farmed in large quantities in Iran especially in Khoozestan state due to proper climate. By-products that remain after processing of sugarcane are Lignocellulosis materials contain more than 20% lignin. 700000 ton bagasse pith is produced yearly at Khoozestan that might be used in animal nutrition because industrial usage is limited. Supplying fiber requirement of ruminants in Iran because of hot and dry climate needs attention to new sources of fiber. Bagasse had been used intact in some countries or just with molasses and urea in fattening farms. Bagasse had been used in low milk production cows (1). A new technology (Steam treatment) had open new zones to apply bagasse as steam treated bagasse in ruminant nutrition and had been shown that it is more digestible (2). This study was conducted to use hydrolyzed bagasse pith in high producing dairy cows in early lactation.

Previous experiments have shown important differences in milk production when mixed starch sources were replaced by mixed high quality by-products in high concentrate diets with hay as the forage (Sutton et al. 1987). The purpose of the present experiment was to compare rolled barley with sugar beet feed (SBF) in both molassed and unmolassed forms when given alone with grass silage in a high-concentrate diet. Additionally the effect of altering protein concentration of the concentrates was examined.
