CATTLE FEED AND PRODUCTION THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: A method of producing a cattle feed using rice straw as a main component of a roughage material and pineapple silage as a main component of a feed additive and then fermenting the components under anaerobic conditions is provided. The produced cattle feed increases the fecundity of ruminants, in particular dairy cattle, promotes fertility and lowers somatic cell count in the milk of lactating ruminants. CONSTITUTION: A cattle feed is prepared by mixing a roughage material containing rice straw as a main material and 1 to 20% by weight of a feed additive containing pineapple silage as a main material, based on the weight of the roughage material, compressing and fermenting the granular feed. The roughage material contains 40 to 70 parts by weight of rice straw and 30 to 50 parts by weight of alfalfa and the feed additive contains 40 to 90 parts by weight of seaweeds selected from kelp, brown algae, laver and green laver and 10 to 60 parts by weight of pineapple silage.
