The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of addition of chitosan in the diets of dairy cows in lactation, containing or not soybean oil, over intake, and total apparent digestibility of dry matter and nutrients, ruminal fermentation and microbial protein synthesis, milk yield and composition, concentrations of blood parameters and energy and nitrogen balances. 24 Holstein cows were used , four rumen cannulated and 20 non-cannulated with 581.2 ± 73.6 kg of BW, DIM average of 174.7 ± 53.1 and 36,14 ± 5,32 kg per day of initial milk wield which were distributed in six Latin squares balanced and contemporary to receive one of four diets, that were obtained by a combination of factors chitosan (approximately 150 mg / kg body weight) and soybean oil (3.3% of diet DM): control (C) , chitosan (Q), soybean oil (O) and chitosan associated with soybean oil (QO). Diets The consumption was reduced by the addition of chitosan in the diets without oil, whereas the presence of this, the chitosan does not affect the intake. The addition of soybean oil reduced the intake of DM, OM , CP, NDF , NFC and TDN and increased consumption of EE, regardless of the addition of chitosan in the diet . The addition of chitosan increased the digestibility coefficients (DC) of DM, OM and CP and did not alter the NDFDC . The EEDC was changed positively by addition of soybean oil in the diet. Both the addition of chitosan as soybean oil increased the total serum cholesterol. In plasma urea interaction, where the highest concentration was observed in the diet Q over C , did not differ between diets containing soybean oil (O and QO) was observed. AST concentrations were affected by supplementation of soybean oil in the diets. Observed interaction for efficient use of energy and nitrogen, which showed increase by adding chitosan in diets without soybean oil and reduced upon addition in diets containing oil. The experimental diets did not affect the synthesis of rumen microbial protein. The addition of soybean oil increased the concentration of propionate and acetate and thus reduced the ratio C2:C3 rumen. Milk production was not affected by the addition of chitosan in the diets without soybean oil, and was reduced on diets containing soybean oil. The conversion efficiency of DM intake in milk was reduced in diets containing oil and increased in diets without soybean oil, adding the chitosan. Thus, considering mainly the productive performance of the animals, the addition of chitosan in the diets of dairy cows in mid lactating is feasible, provided that this is not associated with supplementation with lipid sources.
