Abstract |
This study was performed to
determine the effect of B1 and B12 vitamin injection on milk
production, milk composition and some blood biochemical in Holstein
dairy cows. A total 40 Holstein dairy cows with average milk production
30±50 kg, initial weight 600±50 kg and 28 days after calving were
evaluated. The treatments were control diet, and intramuscular injection
of 15 IU vitamin B1, 10 IU vitamin B12
or combination of vitamin B1 and B12 on a weekly
basis. Milk production and its composition were measured after 4, 6, 8
and 14 week. Data from this study showed that although milk production
was not influenced significantly The results of the study indicated that
milk protein was increased significantly in B1 and B2 treated groups
while milk lactose decreased significantly in B1. Total protein
increased significantly in B1 while cholesterol and triglyceride
increased significantly in B12 in lactating cows. The results indicated
that treatment of vitamin B1 and B12 impacted milk composition and blood
biochemical profile in lactating Holstein cows.
