Abstract:

The objective of the present study was to optimizing the dietary forage NDF (FNDF) and rumen degradable starch (RDS) content and ratios by using the meta-analysis in dairy cows.We collected 39 peered review manuscripts,which were related to FNDF or RDS content on rumen health and milk performance in dairy cows.In this study,we adopted FNDF to RDS ratio (CBIR) or their intake difference (CBID) as carbohydrate balance indexes (CBI),and evaluated their regression relationship to the ruminal pH,fermentation characteristics,milk fat and feed efficiency.The results revealed that the CBIR and CBID showed strong linear or quadratic correlation with the dependent variables.Dietary CBIR and CBID above 1.28 or 1.09 kg•d-1 could minimize the risk of subacute ruminal acidosis,respectively.To obtain appropriate feed efficiency (≥1.5),milk fat (≥3.5%) and acetate to propionate ratio (2.2:1-3:1) in dairy cows,the CBID and CBIR should be set in the range of -0.42-0.99 kg•d-1 and 0.93-1.30,respectively.In this study,the appropriate CBID and CBIR ranges were calculated based on meta-analysis,the CBID and CBIR can reflect the change of rumen health and performance of dairy cow.
