Cassava leaves silage as feed supplement in ration of lactating dairy cows

摘要：

Protein is often the most limiting nutrient for dairy cattle in the tropics, especially during the dry season.This is due to the low crude protein content of concentrate feeds and in available forages such as fresh elephant grass, maize forages, and rice straw.To alleviate the problem, cassava leaves silage (CLS) was introduced as a feed supplement for lactating dairy cows in the dairy farms center of Batu district, East Java province,Indonesia through participatory training and on‐farm feeding trials.CLS is known to contain CP more than 16％ in DM basis (Dao Lan Nhi et al., 2001; Kavana et al., 2005).Increased livestock productivity including milk yield and body weight gain due to feeding CLS was reported by Dao Lan Nhi et al.(2001), Wanapat (2001), and Kavana et al.(2005).
