Abstract

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of diet with different concentrate-roughage ratios on growth performance, serum biochemical indexes and rumen fermentation parameters of yak in early stage of fattening. Forty-eight 3-year-old male yaks with good body condition and similar body weight [(164.9±12.9) kg] were randomly divided into 4 groups with 12 yak per group. Yak in four groups were fed diets with different concentrate-roughage ratios of 35:65 (C35 group), 50:50 (C50 group), 65:35 (C65 group) and 80:20 (C80 group), respectively. The pre-experimental period lasted for 15 days, and the experimental period lasted for 90 days. The results showed as follows: 1) the average daily gain (ADG) and dry matter intake (DMI) of C65 and C80 groups were significantly higher than those of C35 group (P<0.05), and the feed to gain ratio (F/G) of C35 group was significantly higher than that of other 3 groups (P<0.05). 2) The serum glucose content of C65 and C80 groups was significantly higher than that of C35 and C50 groups (P<0.05), the serum total protein content of C65 group was significantly higher than that of C35 group (P<0.05), the serum urea nitrogen content of C65 group was significantly lower than that of C35 and C80 groups (P<0.05), and the activities of alanine transaminase and aspartate aminotransferase in serum of C80 group were significantly higher than those of other 3 groups (P<0.05). 3) The rumen fluid pH of C80 group was significantly lower than that of other 3 groups (P<0.05), the rumen fluid ammonia nitrogen content of C65 group was significantly lower than that of C30 and C80 groups (P<0.05), the rumen fluid total volatile fatty acid content of C80 group was significantly higher than that of other 3 groups (P<0.05), the rumen fluid acetic acid content of C35 and C80 groups was significantly higher than that of C50 and C65 groups (P<0.05), the contents of propionic acid, butyric acid and isobutyric acid in rumen fluid of C65 and C80 groups were significantly higher than those of C35 and C50 groups (P<0.05), and the rumen fluid acetic acid/propionic acid of C65 group was significantly lower than that of other 3 groups (P<0.05). To sum up, the concentrate-roughage ratio of 65:35 produces the optimal results according to growth performance, serum biochemical indexes and rumen fermentation parameters of yak in early stage of fattening.
