Abstract
This study was conducted to determine
the effect of microbial feed supplement on
dairy cows at farm and field level with regard
to nutritional quality of milk. Rumicell®Dry is
a powder feed supplement composed of yeast,
fungal and probiotic bacterial culture with
their growth media. Daily 20 g Rumicell®Dry
was supplemented to two group of dairy
animals in addition to their diet; one group
maintained at a farm and another group
(randomly selected) reared by village farmers
and all the animals were belonging to 2nd or
3rd lactation. Microbial feed supplementation
significantly (P<0.01) increased milk quality
with respect to fat, SNF and Protein
percentage. As a conclusion a microbial feed
supplement to the dairy animals irrespective of
the environment, improves the nutritional
quality of milk.
