Offering soybean molasses adsorbed to agricultural by‐products improved lactation performance through modulating plasma metabolic enzyme pool of lactating cows
Background Agricultural by‐products, such as corncob powder (CRP), wheat bran (WB), rice husk (RH), defatted bran (DB), and soybean hulls (SH), were widely used as ruminant feed. However, the combination effect of soybean molasses mixed with agricultural by‐products on cow lactating performance rema...

Summary: | Background
Agricultural by‐products, such as corncob powder (CRP), wheat bran (WB), rice husk (RH), defatted bran (DB), and soybean hulls (SH), were widely used as ruminant feed. However, the combination effect of soybean molasses mixed with agricultural by‐products on cow lactating performance remains poorly understood.
Methods
In vitro fermentation simulation technique was used to select the high ruminal fermentation performance of agricultural by‐products mixed with soybean molasses. The selected mixtures were conducted to further explore the feeding effect on milk performance and blood metabolic enzyme on lactating dairy cows.
Results
In in vitro simulation, it was confirmed that SH‐SM showed better fermentation performance (including higher maximum gas production, acetate, propionate, and total VFA, but less initial fractional rate of degradation) than other four molasses‐adsorbents, while WB‐SM had the greatest DM and NDF disappearance and NH3‐N and butyrate concentrations among substrates. After the simulation selection, we performed the feed experiment with SH‐SM and WB‐SM compared to the control. For lactating performance, higher (p |
