- Abstract
This study aimed to determine the effect of different feeding methods on feed intake, milk production, and milk quality of lactating Holstein-Friesian (HF) cows. The materials used in this study were 16 lactating cows (2nd–3rd) with the bodyweight of 550-650 kg, which were divided into 2 treatments based on feeding methods. The treatments were the TMR method (T0) and the component feeding method (T1). Data on feed intake, milk production, and milk quality were tabulated and then analyzed using t-test. The results showed that the average dry matter intake, organic matter intake, and milk production in T1 was significantly (P<0.05) higher than T0 (15.54 vs. 11.53 kg, 14.89 vs. 11.01 kg, and 21.06 vs. 15.89 kg, respectively). However, the effect of feeding methods on milk quality was not significant (P>0.05). The relationship between dry matter intake and milk production could be explained by the following equation: Ymilk production = 0.6X DMI + 11.6, indicating that milk production was significantly affected by DMI. Based on this regression equation, it can be interpreted that an increase in DMI of 1 kg can increase milk production by 0.6 kg. The relationship between organic matter intake and milk production could be expressed by the following equation: Ymilk production = 0.7X OMI + 11.6, indicating that milk production was significantly affected by OMI. Based on this regression equation, it can be interpreted that an increase in OMI of 1 kg can increase milk production by 0.7 kg. In conclusion, feed consumption, milk production, and milk quality of the dairy cows in the component feeding method were higher than in the TMR method.
