Abstract

Aim of this work was to evaluate the effect of the inclusion of sodium bentonite (BS) on milk production, physicochemical quality of milk, placenta retention, services per conception, conception rate and pregnancy rate in low-income dairy cattle. semi-intensive conditions in mountain area. Twenty cattle were used, and two groups were formed, T1(n=10) without BS and T2(n=10) with BS at 2 % dry matter (DM). Milk production showed (p≤0.05) where T2 exhibited an increase of 36.87 % compared to T1. Variables: fat, protein, lactose, and non-fat solids showed (p≤0.05) with the use of BS (T2). Placenta retention, services per conception, conception rate and pregnancy rate showed (p≤0.05) with the addition of BS. In conclusion, sodium bentonite can be used at 2 % in cattle feed to increase production and improve the physicochemical quality of milk and optimize reproductive parameters in semi-intensive production systems in mountain areas.
