Abstract

Interactions of bST injections with dietary protein sources of different rumen degradability were tested for their effects on milk production and N metabolism. The diet was formulated to contain either 36 or 40% of CP as ruminally undegradable protein. Supplemental CP was a combination of soybean meal and sunflower meal (control diet) or a combination of soybean meal and herring meal (low ruminally degradable protein diet). One hundred Italian F riesian dairy cows were randomly divided into four treatment groups: control diet, low ruminally degradable protein diet, control diet plus bST, low ruminally degradable protein diet plus bST. Recombinant bST in a sustained-release formulation (640 mg/28 days) was injected for two cycles. Milk production increased in response to bST but was not influenced by the low ruminally degradable protein diet. No significant bST effects on milk composition were found. Cows fed the diet low in ruminally degradable protein produced milk with lower fat and higher protein percentage. Somatotropin treatment and dietary treatment with low ruminally degradable protein showed additive effects on milk yield and quality parameters. At 7 d postinjection, bST increased plasma NEFA and decreased uric acid, and urea in cows receiving the control or the low ruminally degradable diet; however, bST increased plasma creatinine, and . decrased or-amino N in cows receiving the control diet. The low ruminally degradable protein diet increased plasma uric acid, and lowered plasma NEFA.
