Suplementación energético-proteica de búfalas (bubalus bubalis) en fase de lactancia en la Granja Villa Marina, Norte de Santander ubicada en el tropico medio.

Abstract

This research work was carried out in order to delve a little deeper into the issue of breastfeeding buffalo nutrition because its nutritional composition in milk is superior to the nutritional composition of beef milk, it generates an important area of work to study the compositional quality of said milk and evaluating the effect of a supplementation of an energy-protein food on milk production. The objective was to evaluate the effect of protein energy supplementation on the productive performance and composition of milk in buffaloes during lactation. For this work, 4 buffaloes with an average weight of 487.25 kilograms were selected at the beginning of the experimental phase. The animals were randomly selected and assigned to the two experimental groups: control (T1) where the animals consume prairie grass, and cut grass as the farm is normally managed. A treatment supplementing with said energy-protein food (T2) in which 2 kg / day is rationed to the chin at the time of milking. Weighing of the animals was carried out to obtain an average weight after this an individual milk collection was made on days 7,14,21 of the experiment, nutritional composition analysis of the pastures was performed. The composition of the milk was determined by a lactoscan julie C3 Scope Electric
