چکیده انگلیسی
Nitrogen utilization in grazing cows is often low due to high concentrations of rapidly soluble and degradable protein in the pasture-based diet. Broadly, opportunities to improve N utilization lie in either reducing the amount of N consumed by the animal, or incorporating more N into milk protein. The goal of this study was to compare the relative importance of dietary N intake and productive N output for improving N utilization in grazing cows fed either starch-, fiber-, or sugar-based supplements. Also, the Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS; Cornell University, Ithaca, NY) was evaluated as a tool to assess cow performance and improve N utilization in pasture-based systems. Eighty-five cows were randomly assigned to 1 of 5 treatments at parturition (17 cows per treatment). Treatments consisted of a pasture-only control and pasture with a starch- (St and StN), fiber- (FbN), or a sugar-based supplement. The StN and FbN treatments contained additional dietary N. Diets were formulated using the CNCPS to supply similar levels of dietary metabolizable energy, but differing levels of dietary N and metabolizable protein. Nitrogen utilization ranged from 22 to 26% across the 5 groups. Cows fed the St diet had the lowest levels of milk urea N, blood urea N, and urinary N excretion and had the highest productive N output (149Â g/d). Cows fed the FbN treatment had similar productive N output (137Â g/d) and consumed approximately 100Â g/d more dietary N than the St treatment, resulting in greater urinary N excretion. Although milk protein yield was moderately greater in the St treatment, quantitatively the difference in N intake (100Â g/d) had the greatest effect on N utilization and suggests that controlling dietary N intake should be the first priority when attempting to improve N utilization in grazing cows. No effect was observed of supplementing pasture-fed cattle with sugar on production or N utilization under the conditions of this experiment. Predictions of metabolizable energy and protein availability for milk yield from the CNCPS were similar to actual milk yield for all treatments. Model-predicted N utilization and excretion reflected the trends observed in the measured data and suggests that the CNCPS can be a useful tool for formulating and evaluating diets to improve N utilization in pasture-based systems.
