    (KARNATAKA VETERINARY, ANIMAL AND FISHERIES SCIENCES UNIVERSITY, BIDAR, 2019-09) CHANDRASAGARA, A. N.; Dr. UMASHANKAR, B. C.
    A study was undertaken to evaluate the effect of extruded feeding finger millet straw based complete feed on the lactational performance of dairy cows. Six crossbred cows in late lactation were used in a switch over design study. Treatment diets were T1 group fed compounded feed mixture (CFM) and finger millet straw (FMS) as a roughage source offered separately and T2 group fed with finger millet straw based extruded complete feed (ECF). The total milk and 4 per cent FCM yield were significantly higher (P≤0.05) in T2 group (5.97, 6.66) compared to T1 group (5.32, 5.65). Considering the milk constituents (per cent), of T1 and T2 groups, the fat (4.37 and 4.71), SNF (9.02 and 9.23), protein (3.3
