Abstract
Ten lactating buffaloes in their 2nd to 6th lactating season with average body weight of 563± 5kg were divided into two equal groups(5 teu.ates each ). The buffalo groups were SUbjeded to two treatments during late pregnancy ( two monthes prepartum) and postpartum ( 305 days of lactation) periods. The first group was served as a conuo: group (G1) whereas, the other was tested group(G2), received one inlramuscular injection of 4ml saline containing 160mg folic acid weekly dosage. All animals were Ied on ration consist of concentrate feed milcture and rice straw accordinq to Shehata requirements ( 1971).
The obtained results showed that folic acid treatment had no effect on air nutrients digestibility. Similar trend was observed for TON and OCP values of the experimental rations. Moreover daily intake as OM, TDN and DCP of the treated group (G2) was higher lhan thai in control group (G1). The dif1crences were not significant. The daily milk yield as fat corrected milk (7% FCM ) was significantly (p < 0.05) higher with G2 (7.14) than that of Gl (5.1S Kg) by 45.02%. Milk composition from tactating buffaloes treated with folic add had significantly (p < 0.05) higher contents of milk protein and solids not fat (SNF) compared with the control on birth weight and weaning weight of new born cawes were relatively higher in group G2 than that in group Gl.Also.treated lactating buffaloes by folic acid improved the economic efficiency by 26.35 % compared with control.
