Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementation of Pennisetum sp. silage and Pennisetum sp. hay on ruminal fermentation, nutrient digestibility and performance of dairy cows. Forty-five healthy Chinese Holstein lactating dairy cows were randomly assigned into 3 groups with 15 cows in each group by milk yield, parity and days in milk. Roughages in control group (CG) were whole corn silage, Chinese wildrye and alfalfa hay, those in trial group Ⅰ were Pennisetum sp. silage, whole corn silage, Chinese wildrye and alfalfa hay, and those in trial group Ⅱ were Pennisetum sp. hay, whole corn silage and alfalfa hay. Nutrient levels of the three diets were close. The pre-trial lasted for 10 days, and the trial lasted for 60 d. The results showed as follows:1) compared with CG, the content of ammonia nitrogen of acetate in rumen fluid, and milk protein percentage in trial group Ⅰ were significantly increased (P<0.05). The other milk composition, dry matter intake, milk yield and nutrient digestibility had no significant differences (P>0.05). The benefit per cow per day improved 1.19 yuan. 2) Compared with CG, the milk composition and nutrient digestibility in trial group Ⅱ were not significantly changed (P>0.05), and the content of ammonia nitrogen in rumen fluid was significantly decreased (P<0.05). The dry matter intake and milk was slightly increased (P>0.05). The benefit per cow per day improved 2.07 yuan. It is concluded that partial replacement of whole corn silage with Pennisetum sp. silage and partial replacement of alfalfa hay with Pennisetum sp. hay in diets can bring in better economic benefit without influencing cows' performance.
