Abstract

This experiment was conducted to study the effects of different niacin supplemental levels on dietary nutrient digestibility and performance of lactating water buffalo in summer. Thirty-six healthy crossed Guangxi lactating water buffalo (Guangxi water buffalo × Nili-Ravi water buffalo × Murrah water buffalo) were randomly assigned into 4 groups by milk yield and lactation period. The water buffalo in control group were fed a basal diet, and those in experimental groups were fed the basal diet supplemented with 4, 8 and 12 g/d niacin, respectively. The experiment lasted for 56 days, which consisted of a 14-day pre-experiment and a 42-day formal experiment.The results showed as follows: 1) rectal temperature and respiratory frequency of experimental lactating water buffalo were at normal level under the condition of summer high temperature; 2) compared with control group, dietary supplementation of 12 g/d niacin increased dry matter intake by 4.82% (P<0.05); 3) dietary supplementation of niacin could improve the digestibility of gross energy and crude protein in diets of lactating dairy water buffalo at different degrees, and the supplementation of 8 g/d niacin increased the digestibility of crude protein by 6.36% (P<0.05); 4) compared with control group, dietary supplementation of 8 and 12 g/d niacin increased 4% fat corrected milk yield by 11.51% and 8.09% (P<0.05), respectively, and dietary supplementation of 4, 8 and 12 g/d increased milk protein percentage by 9.31%, 9.31% and 4.41%, respectively (P<0.05). In conclusion, under the condition of summer high temperature, lactating water buffalo are in normal physical status, dietary supplementation of niacin can improve nutrient digestibility and performance of water buffalo, and the optimal supplemental level is 8 g/d.
