EFFECT OF USING CHEMICALLY TREATED BARLEY ON MILK PRODUCTION & COMPOSITION AND SOME BIO-CHEMICAL CHARACTERISTICS IN CROSS BRED FRESIAN CATTLE by Kassem M. M

“…This study has been achieved in the field of the agricultural college in Salah-Aldeen University, to investigate the effect of using barley treated with formaldehyde (9 liter/ ton) with Soya bean meal or urea in feeding hybrid dairy cows (fresian x karadi) with barley straw ad libtum on milk production and composition . 4 cows were used with 4 experimental rations and 4 periods (3 weeks each) using (4 × 4) latin square design. The 1st ration contained untreated barley with Soya bean meal (UB + SBM), the 2nd formaldehyde treated barley with Soya bean meal (TB+SBM), the 3rd ration (UB + urea) and the 4th ration (TB + urea). …”
