Abstract
The present study was conducted to evaluate the effects of supplementation of bypass fat one month before parturition and during early lactation on milk production and reproductive performance of buffaloes. Twenty four multiparous pregnant buffaloes (2–3 lactation) were selected for on-farm trial at a dairy farm of village Gopalpura in Anand District. These buffaloes were divided in two groups on the basis of their stage of pregnancy (one month before parturition), milk production and fat % during previous lactation. The animals in T1 (n=12, control group) were fed on farm feeding schedule and those in T2 group were supplemented with bypass fat @ 100 g/h/d during prepartum and 15 g/kg of milk yield in addition to farm feeding schedule.
