Evaluación del efecto de la suplementación con (Moringa oleífera) y Caña de azúcar (Saccharum officinarum) sobre la producción y calidad composicional de la leche de vacas Costeño con Cuernos en primer tercio de lactancia en un Sistema Silvopastoril en época de sequía en la microrregión del valle del Cesar

Abstract

In order to evaluate the effect of sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum) and Moringa oleífera supplementation on milk production and nutritional quality, the experiment was carried out in the municipality of Agustin Codazzi (Cesar) in the Silvopastoral System AGROSAVIA Motilonia Research Center during the dry season. 6 cows -Costeño con Cuernos- with 430 kg of body weight (BW) in the firth lactation stage were used distributed in a completely randomized 3 treatments, one of which received only grazing (T0) and the others fed with grazing plus a 1% supply of BW in Dry Matter with two inclusion levels: 70 – 30 % (T1) y 50 – 50 % (T2) of Sugarcane and Moringa oleifera, respectively. Data collection was performed together with milk samples for 3 days after the adaptation period. All data were run in Microsoft Excel. The results obtained didn't show a significant effect (P < 0,05) on milk production, protein and solids-not-fat, whereas, existed significant effects (P < 0,05) on fat concentration, observing that in the T1 and T2 had a higher % fat (4,53 y 4,69 %, respectively). One can conclude from this study that by providing supplementation energy – protein was found to have positive effects on the milk Fat concentration.
