Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of dietary supplementations of Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. silage and Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. hay on ruminal fermentation, nutrient apparent digestibility, blood indicators and performance of dairy cows. Forty-five Holstein dairy cows with similar milk yield, parity and days in milk were randomly assigned into 3 experimental groups with 15 cows in each group. Roughages in control group were whole corn silage, Chinese wildrye and alfalfa hay, 30% corn silage in trial group Ⅰ was substitute with Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. silage, and 30% alfalfa hay in trial group Ⅱ was substitute with Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. hay. Nutrient levels of the three diets were close. The pre-trial lasted for 10 days, and the trial lasted for 60 days. The results showed as follows: 1) compared with control group, the apparent digestibility of crude protein, the content of ammonia nitrogen in rumen fluid and total amino acid in blood in trial group Ⅰ were significantly increased (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in the other nutrient digestibility, blood indicators and milk composition (P>0.05). 2) Compared with control group, the content of total AA in blood in trial group Ⅱ was significantly increased (P<0.05), and there were no significant differences in the other blood indicators, ruminal fermentation indicators, nutrient digestibility and milk composition (P>0.05). It is concluded that dietary supplementation of Amaranthus hypochondriacus L. at proper level can bring in better economic benefit without influencing cows, performance.
