Role of Dietary Inclusion of Phytobiotics and Mineral Adsorbent Combination on Dairy Cows′ Milk Production, Nutrient Digestibility, Nitrogen Utilization, and Biochemical Parameters

Our research purpose was to study the effect of the inclusion of a combination of phytobiotics in the form of dry <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i> grits (FG) and a mineral adsorbent from the heat-treated mineral shungite (TMS) on milk productivity, nutrient digestibility, and biochemical paramet...

description Our research purpose was to study the effect of the inclusion of a combination of phytobiotics in the form of dry <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i> grits (FG) and a mineral adsorbent from the heat-treated mineral shungite (TMS) on milk productivity, nutrient digestibility, and biochemical parameters of the Suksun dairy cows. A total of 80 dry-hardy cows of the Suksun breed were divided into four groups (20 heads each), balanced primarily by breed, age, body weight, body condition score, and indicators of milk yield for the previous lactation. The selected cows were with an average live body weight of 512.0 ± 1.28 kg, BCS 3.0–3.5, and parities of 6250 kg milk. The control group (CON) were fed the basic ration only; the second (TMS), third (FG), and fourth (TMS + FG) groups were fed the basic ration provided by 50 g of the mineral adsorbent from heat-treated shungite, 100 g of Fucus grits (<i>Fucus vesiculosus</i>), 50 g of the mineral adsorbent from heat-treated shungite, and 100 g of dry grits from <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i>, respectively. The total protein content in milk was significantly higher in the group receiving <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i> by 0.05% and the group receiving a combination of mineral adsorbent and <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i> by 0.03%. The percentage of milk fat content recorded the highest significant value in (TMS) group when compared to the control and represented (4.37 vs. 3.95). The group of cows that received (TMS + FG) revealed a significant difference in the digestibility of both ether extract and crude fiber when compared to the control group and represented (54.74 vs. 51.71 and 60.68 vs. 55.15%), respectively. The cows supplemented with a mineral adsorbent or a combination of mineral adsorbent and <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i> revealed a significant difference in the digestibility of ether extract and crude fiber in the group receiving TMS + FG by 3.0% (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and 5.5% (<i>p</i> < 0.05), respectively. The intake of nitrogen with the diet increased in (FG) and (TMS + FG) groups by 11.3 g (<i>p</i> < 0.05) and 13.4 g (<i>p</i> < 0.05) of nitrogen. There was an increase (<i>p</i> < 0.05) in the concentration of rumen ammonia in the control group compared to the other groups. The glucose content of those cows that received FG and TMS + FG combination increased (<i>p</i> < 0.05) by 0.76 mmol/L and 0.90 mmol/l in relation to the control group. The globulin, albumin/globulin ratio, and the level of triglycerides revealed a significant difference between the different experimental groups. In brief, the inclusion of a combination of phytobiotics in the form of dry <i>Fucus vesiculosus</i> grits and a mineral adsorbent from the heat-treated mineral shungite in Suksun dairy cows’ diets improved milk composition, digestibility of nutrients, utilization of nitrogen, and did not cause deleterious effects on blood biochemical indicators.
