Abstract

This study evaluated the weekly fluctuations of bovine milk quality from cows fed Legume Stover (LS) and feed grade urea fertilizer (UET). The study involved feeding Maize Stover (MS) improved using UET, Chopped Groundnut Stover (CGS), Chopped Soybean Stover (CSS), Mineralized Groundnut Stover Solution (MGS) and Mineralized Soybean Stover Solution (MSS) to lactating dairy cows. The feeding trial involved twelve (12) dairy cows in their second parity. Effect of supplementation with MS improved with UET, cGS, cSS, mGS and mSS on milk quality was evaluated following on-station feeding trials. The study involved 22 factorial experiments within a Completely Randomised Design (CRD). Milk samples were analysed for protein, lactose, fat and solid not fat (SNF) and milk density.
