This aim this study was evaluate the use of different concentrations of sodic monensin the feed of dairy cows and its effects on consumption and total apparent digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, milk yield and milk composition, ruminal fermentation, synthesis microbial protein, blood parameters and sodic monensis residues in milk. Twelve Holstein cows were allocated in three balanced Latin squares 4x4, and fed with the following rations: 1) control (C), basal diet without sodic monensin addition, 2) monensin 24 (M24), addition of 24 mg/kg DM of monensin in the ration, added to concentrate, and 3) monensin 48 (M48), addition of 48 mg/kg DM of monensin in the ration, added to concentrate. Milk yield and dry matter intake were measured daily throughout the experimental period. The samples used for analysis of milk composition were collected on the 16th day of each period, and from the two milkings. Blood samples were collected in vacuolated tubes by puncture or coccygeal vein or artery. Samples of rumen fluid were collected with use of esophageal probe three hours after the morning feeding. The digestibility was determined by means of an internal indicator iADF. There was linear effect dry matter intake, organic matter, crude protein, ether extract, total carbohydrates, neutral detergent fiber, non-fiber carbohydrates and total digestible nutrients. There was no difference on apparent total tract digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, ether extract, total carbohydrates, non-fiber carbohydrates and total digestible nutrient values observed for the experimental diets. There was no difference in total apparent digestibility of dry matter and nutrients depending on the experimental diets, except for the total apparent digestibility of crude protein and neutral detergent fiber, wich effects were observed linear ascending and descending, respectively. There was no effect for ruminal pH values. Supplementation with sodic monensin in the diets resulted inchanging the molar proportion of propionate in ruminal fluid while decreasing the acetate:propionate. The rations containing monensin had higher molar ratio of acetate propionate and smaller relation to the control diet and similary had a lower acetate:propionate ratio. There was no effect in total daily urine excretion of allantoin and uric acidin urine and total purine derivates. There was no difference in the percentage of allantoin in the purine derivates, absorbed purines and microbial nitrogen to the experimental diets. We observed increase in milk yield for cows fed the intermediate concentration of monensin in the feed. There was no effect of monensin in feed on the blood parameters glucose, total cholesterol, total protein, albumin, aspartate aminotransferase and γ-glutamyltransferase. Increased linearly, with the addition of monensin in the feed on the urea and serum urea nitrogen. The detected residues of sodic monensin in milk was smaller that the maximum limit established for FAO/WHO. The use of monensin in diets cows in the middle third of lactation influences growth performance depending on the dose used, and does not result in residues in milk regardless of dose. (AU) | |
