EFFECT OF COMMONLY USED GRASSES ON MILK YIELD AND COMPOSITION IN MILITARY FARM SAVAR

Abstract

In our country, milk production is highly connected with grass and fodder management and utilization. Good quality grass and fodder is always essential to reduce farm management cost as well as increase milk yield. It also decreases feed cost, manure handling and labour cost. There by continuous flow of milk yield depend on ability to optimize grass and fodder yield and quality. The objectives of this study was to determine the effect of feeding different fodders like German Grass, Para Grass, Napier Grass and Maize on yield and composition of milk from cross breed 1.0313±0.00, 1.0313±0.00 and 1.0325±0.00, the Fat contents were 3.53±0.21, 4.02±0.20, 3.46±0.15 and 4.02±0.22, and the SNF contents were 8.12±0.05, 8.50±0.32, 8.40±0.20 and 8.56±0.08.The composition of milk in all groups showed significant changes. It was found that Fat and SNF contents were increasing in trend in case of T2
