| Abstract | The effects of the offer of kikuyu grass and oats silage on production and compositional quality of milk was evaluated using 18 Holstein cows in early and mid lactation, between 2 and 4 births, with a live weight (LW) of 585 kg and a milk production of 22.0 L/d. The experiment was carried out at Marengo Agricultural Center of the National University of Colombia. Three offers of silage (dry matter, DM); 0%, 0.7% y 1.4% of LW) were evaluated complemented with kikuyu grass in grazing to reach a total offer of 4%. The animals were supplemented daily with a balanced supplement. Kikuyu grass intake was estimated using chromium (external marker) and acid detergent indigestible fiber (internal marker). Kikuyu intake decreased (p < 0.001) to increase the proportion of silage in early and mid lactation cows. The milk production was affected by interaction kikuyu-silage offer, lactating stage and time of sampling (p < 0.01). Protein (0.2 units) (p < 0.05) and casein (0.35 units) concentration (p < 0.05) increased in early lactation cows offered oat silage at a level of 0.7% LW milk, while an offer of 1.4% LW decreased protein concentration (0.15 units) and slightly increased casein concentration (0.05 units) (p < 0.05). Milk fat tended to increase as oat silage was offered in the diet (p < 0.1). |
