Effect of Bypass Fat Supplementation on Productive Performance of Buffaloes

One farm trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness of bypass fat on overall performance of milch buffalo during 2022-23 in the Khijrabad, Sohali and Khubahedi village of SAS Nagar district of Punjab. Twenty lactating Murrah buffaloes were selected and distributed equally in two groups of ten buffaloes in each group, i.e. T1 (control) and T2(supplementation bypass fat @ 100g/day/ buffalo) up to 150 days. The results of study revealed supplementation of bypass fat had significantly (P<0.05) increased the milk production in milch buffalo. The mean milk yield during the recoding was found to be 10.19 ±0.36 and 11.29±0.34 l/day in group T1 and T2, respectively; which was 10.78 percent higher in group T2 than the control. The average length of the postpartum estrus cycle (67.70±6.20 days) and service period (91.43±8.33days) was significantly (P<0.05) reduced in T2 than T1 (86.40±11.57days and 131.00±12.33days, respectively).AIperconceptionwassignificantly(P<0.05)lowerinT2group(1.57±0.40)thantheT2 (2.71 ±0.44). The study indicate that supplementing bypass fat in the diet had a significant (P<0.05) positive impact on both milk yield and postpartum reproductive performance in milch buffalo.
