Abstract

The objective of this study was to investigate the comparison of feeding a total mixed ration (TMR) containing imported alfalfa hay and TMR containing hot-air dried domestic alfalfa on rumination activity, milk production, and composition in lactating dairy cows. Ten Holstein dairy cows were divided into two groups: control (imported alfalfa hay + TMR) and treatment (hot-air dried domestic alfalfa + TMR) groups. The study was conducted over a total period of 18 days, including a 13-days adaptation period and a 5-days main experimental period. The results indicated no differences in total digestible nutrient and net energy intake between the imported and hot-air dried alfalfa. Body weight was not significantly different between the two groups (p>0.05), however, total feed intake and rumination time were significantly and tendentially higher in the treatment group compared with control group, respectively (p<0.001; p=0.075). Milk yield was not significantly different between the two groups (p>0.05), however, milk fat (kg) and lactose (%) concentration were significantly higher in the treatment group compared with control group (p=0.016; p=0.02). This study confirms that feeding TMR with hot-air dried domestic alfalfa results in no differences of feed intake, rumination activity, and milk productivity. Therefore, it is considered that hot-air dried domestic alfalfa can be used as a substitute for imported alfalfa on lactating dairy cows.

본 연구는 수입산 알팔파와 열풍 건조 국내산 알팔파를 이용한 TMR의 혼합 급여가 착유우의 우유 생산량, 유질 및 반추 시간 비교 분석 등을 통해 열풍 건조 국내산 알팔파의 사료가치 평가를 수행하였다. 두 종류의 알팔파 내 TDN, NEL 및 체중은 차이를 보이지 않았고, 사료 섭취량은 열풍 건조 국내산 알팔파의 TMR 혼합 급여구에서 높았으며, 반추 활동 시간은 차이를 보이지 않았다. 우유생산량, 유지방과 유단백질 함량, FPCM, FE 및 SCC는 차이를 보이지 않았으며, 유지방 생산량과 lactose 함량은 열풍 건조 국내산 알팔파 TMR 혼합 급여구에서 높았다. 따라서 본 연구에서 이용된 열풍 건조 국내산 알팔파와 TMR의 혼합 급여는 착유우의 사료 섭취량, 반추 활동 및 생산성에 차이를 보이지 않았으므로, 열풍 건조 국내산 알팔파를 수입산 알팔파로 대체하여 착유우에게 이용될 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.
