Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of silage combination type total mixed ration on growth performance and blood parameters of fattening beef cattle. Thirty Simmental bulls with good body condition and similar body weight [(440.5±3.5) kg] were selected and randomly divided into two groups with fifteen cattle per group. Cattle in the control group (C group) were fed a single silage type total mixed ration, and the others in the test group (T group) were fed a silage combination type total mixed ration. The trial lasted for 180 days. The results showed as follows: 1) during days 1 to 60, days 61 to 120 and days 121 to 180, the average daily feed intake of T group was significantly lower than that of C group (P≤0.05), the average daily gain of T group was higher than that of C group (P>0.05); during days 61 to 120 and days 121 to 180, the feed to gain ratio of T group was significantly lower than that of C group (P<0.05). 2) On day 120 and day 180, the red blood cell number (RBC) and hemoglobin concentration (HGB) in blood of C group were significantly higher than those of T group (P≤0.05); on day 180, the hematocrit (HCT) and standard deviation of red blood cell distribution (RDW-SD) in blood of C group were significantly higher than those of T group (P<0.05). 3) There were no significant differences in plasma antioxidant parameters between two groups (P>0.05). 4) On day 60 and day 120, the plasma urea nitrogen (UN) content of C group was significantly lower than that of T group (P<0.05); on day 60, the plasma total cholesterol (T-CHO) content of C group was significantly lower than that of T group (P<0.05); on day 120 and day 180, the plasma glutamic-oxalacetic transaminase (AST) activity of C group was significantly higher than that of T group (P≤0.05); on day 180, the plasma glutamic pyruvic transaminase (ALT) activity of C group was significantly higher than that of T group (P<0.05). In conclusion, the silage combination type total mixed ration have no adverse effects on the antioxidant function and health condition of fattening beef cattle, can improve body metabolism to a certain extent, and improve the growth performance of beef cattle.
