Effect of feed additives on nutrient intake and feed efficiency of lactating crossbred cows

This study was conducted to evaluate the nutrient intake of crossbred cows fed different feed additives based diets using twelve lactating crossbred cows of Holestein Fresian X Sahiwal (HFXS) and Jersy X Sahiwal (JXS) nearly similar stage of lactation. The cows were assigned into treatments having, T1 = Feed Additive-A based diet, T2 = Feed Additive-B based diet, T3 = Feed Additive-C based diet with similar concentrate mixture, using randomized complete block design into three blocks of four animals. The Feed intake and milk production were assessed.
