Biodiversification of nitrogen from feed to milk in does kept under buffer feed technology

Buffers viz. Sodium bicarbonate and Magnesium oxide in combination at the rate of 0.00 and 0.00, 0.50 and 0.25, 1.00 and 0.50 and 1.50 and 0.75 per cent of DMI assumed to be 4% of live weight were administered in four treatments viz. A,B,C and D, respectively. Twenty four lactating Barbari goats were divided into six groups on the basis of their productive and phenotypic features. One animal from each group was randomly allotted to one of the four treatments. In addition to buffers each animal received 200g concentrate (gram chuni) and ad-lib leguminous straw (Cajanus cajan). The metabolic trial after 21 days and milk production trial after 30 days of the start of the experiment, respectively were conducted. Application of buffer feed technology (BFT) in goat ration enhanced biodiversification of nitrogen from feed to milk. Thus it can be advocated that application of BFT in lactating goat's ration may be a powerful implementation to increase conversion of vegetable protein into milk protein.
