Fat supplementation for milking cows
Abstract
Energy defficiency in diets of milking cows at the fi rst third of lactation will result in a decrease in production and weight. In order to increase the energetic density of the diet without raising troubles to the animal, attention has been directed to fat supplementation and feeds with high levels of ether extract. Several sources of fats may be utilized such as tallow, oleaginous seeds and the “by pass” fat. The objective of this review was to check the effects of utilizing diets supplemented with different sources of fats during lactation of milking cows.
