Abstract. This research was completed at PT. Moeria, Kudus Regency, Central Java Province,
Indonesia using 35 samples (Holstein Friesian cattle, lactation period II-III and lactation month
5-9). The observati onal method was used in this study. Data obtained were analyzed using
linear and quadratic regressions, to predict the production and quality of milk fat from crude
fiber (CF) consumption that describe the diet. Analysis of variance was used to test the
significance of model, then used root mean square prediction error (RMSPE), residual variance
(RV) and coefficient of determination (R
2
) to developed equations as an indicator of the
goodness of model fit. The result showed that no relationship between milk fat concentration
(%) with CF consumption as predictor. There were significant relationship on between milk
production (kg); milk fat production (kg) with CF consumption as predictor, on linear and
quadratic model. In addition, a quadratic change in milk production (kg) (P = 0.050) and milk
fat production (kg) (P = 0.044) were observed with changed CF consumption; whereas the
quadratic equation has smal ler RV, smaller RMSPE and bigger R
2
than linear equation. It was
concluded that the model fit for this research was quadratic equati on.
1. Introduction
Kudus Regency is one of the big regency in Central Java Province, Indonesia. Production of milk in
Central Java Province is around 98,860 ton/year or 11.67% of milk production in Indonesia, the third
position after West Java Province and East Java Province [1]. The same with other place, milk
production and milk quality including milk fat production was affected by the quality of feed given.
Feed nutrient especially crude fiber has effect on production and quality of milk [2, 3]. In rumen,
crude fiber as a part of carbohydrate will be degradation by rumen microbes to volatile fatty acids
(acetate, propionate and butyrate) that is substrate for milk biosynthesis. Acetate is use for milk fat
biosynthesis especiall y short chai n fatt y acids that around 50% of milk fat [4, 5, 6]. Forage is
important for dairy cattle. Crude fiber from high quality grass have good digestibility, then feed with
more crude fiber content will producing more proportion of acetate and butyrate. The grass intake will
lead to produce more acetic acid and make the value of Acetate/Propionate ratio higher [7, 8, 9]. The
ration with the low fiber will decrease fat milk. The increasing in milk production was in line with
decreasing of milk fat concentration [10]. It is reasonable to suspect relationships between the crude
fiber consumption with the production and quality of milk fat. Therefore this research will be
conducted to find the model fit for those relationships.

2. Materials and methods
2.1. Database
This research was completed at PT Moeria, Kudus Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia using
35 samples (Holstein Friesian cattle, lactation period II-III and lactation month 5-9). The observational
method was used in this study. The data were collected for 7 days for each cattle, including the amount
of feeding, feed consumption, milk production. Feed samples were analyzed proximate to determine
the content of feed ingredients especially crude fiber to calculate crude fiber consumption [11]. On the
7th day, 200 ml of milk samples from each cattle wer e obtained for the analysis of density and milk fat
concentration using Lactoscan. The production of milk fat was calculated from (concentration of milk
fat) x (milk production) [12].
2.2. Statistical analyses
Data were analyzed with regression analysis including linear and quadratic models using SPSS
software. T he crude fiber consumption was independent variable (X); milk production and milk fat
were dependent variables (Y). Analysis of variance was used to test the significance of model, then
used root mean square prediction error (RMSPE), residual variance (RV) and coefficient of
determination (R2) to developed equations as an indicator of the goodness of model fit [3]. RMSPE
calculated as:
 = (
−
)
/

Where Oi is the observed value, and Pi is the predicted value. Square root of the MSPE (RMSPE)
is an estimate of the overall prediction error predicti on, then expressed as a proportion of the observed
mean [13].
3. Results
The equations of linear and quadratic models are shown in table 1. P-value showed that the significant
relationship (P d 0.05) were found on between milk productions (kg); milk fat production (kg) with
CF consumption (kg) as pr edictor, both on linear and quadratic model. In addition, the relationship
between CF consumption and milk fat concentration (%) was not significant, both on linear and
quadratic (P t 0.298). Changed CF consumption (kg) was affected (P d0.05) in a quadratic increase on
milk production (kg) and in a quadratic increase on milk fat production (kg).
4. Discussion
In this research, a quadratic model was the best model for prediction milk production and milk protei n
content by CF consumption, because has bigger R2, smaller RV and RMSPE than linear equation [3,
13], shown in table 1. In quadratic model for milk production, the turning point of the curve was on X
= 2.38 kg and Y = 6.68 kg. It’s mean that after CF consumption more than 2.38 kg will have positive
effect on milk production. The feed consumption including CF consumption has positive effect on
milk production, and the nutrient requirement of dairy cattle increases with milk production [6, 14].
Production and composition of milk varies with nutrients intake that is influenced by blood flow and
utilization of nutrients by mammary gland [15].The ration with produce more high in
acetate/propionate ratio will produce more high in milk production [12].
The CF consumption have not significant relationship with milk fat concentration, but significant
with milk fat production on linier and quadratic. In this quadratic model, the turning point of the curve
was on X = -1.05 kg and Y = -0.212 kg. It’s mean that if dairy cattle cons ume CF will have positive
effect on milk fat production. This happens because acetate and butyrate from degradation CF in
rumen by microbes is precursor for milk fat biosynthesis [4, 6].The milk fat production and milk fatty

acid profile responds rapidly and is very sensitive to changes in diet [14].The increasing fiber
digestibility is in line with increasing of acetate/propionate ratio or acetate production [16].The ration
with produce more high in acetate/propionate ratio will produce more high in production and quality
of milk fat [12].So that’s mean CF from high quality forage is very important in dairy cattle diet.
5. Conclusions
There are relationships between milk production and milk fat production with crude fiber consumption
as predictor. The model fit was quadratic equation because has bigger R2, smaller RV and RMSPE
than linear equation.

Blueprints for Tropical Dairy Farming provides insight into the logistics, infrastructure and management required for the development of small and large dairy farms in tropical developing countries. Farmers will learn how to improve the welfare, milk quality and productivity of their dairy herds. This book complements author John Moran’s five previous books on the principles of tropical dairy farming. The manual covers a wide range of topics related to ensuring the sustainability of dairy production systems in tropical developing countries, such as South and East Asia, Africa and Central America. It also provides guidelines for the best management practices of large-scale, more intensive dairy systems. While smallholder farms are the major suppliers of milk in the tropics, many larger farms are becoming established throughout the tropics to satisfy the increasing demands for fresh milk. Blueprints for Tropical Dairy Farming will be a valuable resource for farmers and stockpeople who want to improve the productive performance of their dairy herds, farm advisers who can assist farmers to achieve this aim, educators who develop training programs for farmers or who train dairy advisers in the basics of dairy production technology, and other stakeholders in tropical dairy production, such as local agribusiness, policy makers and research scientists. National and international agencies will learn new insights into the required long-term logistics for regional dairy development, while potential investors will acquire knowledge into intensive tropical dairy farming.

This study was conducted to evaluate the fermentability and nutrient digestibility of concentrate feed containing Indigofera zollingeriana using in vitro technique. Randomized complete block design was used on 3 types of concentrate feed and 4 groups (replicates) of goat's rumen liquid. The concentrate feeds were R1, R2 and R3 containing I. zollingeriana at 0 (control), 20 and 40%, respectively. Variables observed were total gas production, in vitro dry matter digestibility (IVDMD), organic matter (IVDOM), and crude protein (IVDCP), volatile fatty acid (VFA) profiles and NH3 concentration. Data were analyzed using analysis of variance (ANOVA). Results showed that there was no significant effect of R3 on IVDMD, IVDOM and IVDCP as compared to R1 and R2. However, there was significant difference (P<0.05) of the parameters between R1 and R2 (P<0.05). There was no significant effect (P<0.05) of different Indigofera levels on total gas production. The partial VFA of each concentrate feeds was not significantly different, but the percentage of acetic acids of concentrates containing I. zollingeriana were higher than those of control (P<0.05). The concentration of rumen NH3 of R2 was lower than R1 and R3 (P<0.05) even though the IVCPD of R2 was higher than R1. It could be concluded that the inclusion of I. zollingeriana as concentrate feed ingredient at 20% maximum level .

This research was aimed to determine the impact of balanced energy and protein supplementation with high rumen undegraded protein (HRUP) to milk production and quality in early lactating dairy cows. Twelve early lactating Friesian Holstein cows were divided into two groups (control and HRUP). Both control and HRUP group were fed on a basal diet (forage to concentrate ratio was 60:40; DM basis), with rumen undegraded protein (RUP) levels were 27.47% and 32.78% for control and HRUP, respectively. The experimental diets were given to animals twice daily, morning and afternoon. Water was given by ad libitum. The observed parameters were nutrient intake, quantity and quality of milk production . Data were examined using t-test. Results showed that feed intake, milk production and 4% FCM, milk fat and lactose concentrations, and milk solid non-fat and total solid concentrations were not differed significantly between control and HRUP groups. However, milk protein concentration and production were differed (P

Each four young bulls of Madura cattle and Ongole Crossbred (OC) cattle were used to study the efficiency of ruminal fermentation by comparing the proportion of Volatile Fatty Acid (VFA) of these two breeds which were raised under intensive feeding. All the cattle were in about 1.5 years-old with an average body weight of 147.75 ± 14.57 kg and 167 ± 22.57 kg, for Madura and OC cattle, respectively. They were fed Napier grass (Pennisetum purpureum) hay, and concentrate feeding consists of pollard, soybean meal and rice bran for 10 weeks. Parameters measured were concentration of VFA at 0, 3 and 6 h post-feeding and pH. The concentration of VFA in both Madura and OC cattle was peaked at 3 h post-feeding, being 136.1 mmol and 158.9 mmol, respectively, and then were decreased at 6 h post-feeding at a level of 58.1 and 98.2 mmol, respectively. The proportion of acetic acid in Madura and OC cattle were 53.33% and 52.0% of total VFA, respectively, while the proportion of propionic acid and butyric acid were 28.80% and 17.87% for Madura cattle, and 30.71% and 17.28% for OC cattle, respectively. In addition, the Acetic/Propionic ratios were 1.85 and 1.69 for Madura and OC cattle, respectively. Rumen pH conditions of both cattle breeds tended to be basic, i.e. Madura cattle was ranged at 8.0-8.4, while the PO cattle was ranged at 7.6-8.4. In conclusion, both cattle breeds (Madura and OC cattle) have a similar efficiency to utilize the feeds in the rumen.

To investigate the effects of different sources of carbohydrates on intake, digestibility, chewing, and performance, nine lactating Holstein dairy cows (day in milk= 100+/-21 d; body weight=645.7 +/- 26.5 kg) were allotted to a 3 x 3 Latin square design at three 23-d periods. The three treatments included 34.91% (B), 18.87% (BC), and 18.86% (BB) barley that in treatment B was partially replaced with only corn or corn plus beet pulp in treatments BC and BB, respectively. The concentration of starch and neutral detergent soluble carbohydrate varied (22.2, 20.2, and 14.5; 13.6, 15.9, and 20.1% of DM in treatments B, BC, and BB, respectively). Cows in treatment BB showed a higher DMI and improved digestibility of DM, NDF, and EE compared with treatments B or BC. Ruminal pH was higher in cows fed on BB (6.83) compared with those that received B or BC treatments (6.62 and 6.73, respectively). A lower proportion of propionate accompanied the higher pH in the BB group; however, a greater proportion of acetate and acetate: propionate ratio was observed compared with cows fed either on the B or BC diet. Moreover, cows fed on the BB diet showed the lowest ruminal passage rate and longest ruminal and total retention time. Eating time did not differ among treatments, rumination time was greater among cows fed on the BB diet compared with the others, whereas total chewing activity was greater than those fed on BC, but similar to those fed on B. The treatments showed no effect on milk yield. Partially replacing barley with corn or beet pulp resulted in an increase in milk fat and a lower protein concentration. Changing dietary NFC with that of a different degradability thus altered intake, chewing activity, ruminal environment, retention time or passage rate, and lactation performance. The results of this study showed that beet pulp with a higher NDF and a detergent-soluble carbohydrate or pectin established a more consistent ruminal mat than barley and corn, thus resulting in higher mean retention time and chewing activity, whereas no changes in 3.5% FCM and milk fat were observed.

Canada is committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emissions to 6% below 1990 amounts between 2008 and 2012, and methane is one of several greenhouse gases being targeted for reduction. Methane production from ruminants is one area in which the agriculture sector can contribute to reducing our global impact. Through mathematical modeling, we can further our understanding of factors that control methane production, improve national or global greenhouse gas inventories, and investigate mitigation strategies to reduce overall emissions. The purpose of this study was to compile an extensive database of methane production values measured on beef cattle, and to generate linear and nonlinear equations to predict methane production from variables that describe the diet. Extant methane prediction equations were also evaluated. The linear equation developed with the smallest root mean square prediction error (RMSPE, % observed mean) and residual variance (RV) was Eq. I: CH(4), MJ/d=2.72 (+/-0.543) + [0.0937 (+/-0.0117) x ME intake, MJ/d] + [4.31 (+/-0.215) x Cellulose, kg/d] - [6.49 (+/-0.800) x Hemicellulose, kg/d] - [7.44 (+/-0.521) x Fat, kg/d] [RMSPE=26.9%, with 94% of mean square prediction error (MSPE) being random error; RV=1.13]. Equations based on ratios of one diet variable to another were also generated, and Eq. P, CH(4), MJ/d=2.50 (+/-0.649) - [0.367 (+/-0.0191) x (Starch:ADF)] + [0.766 (+/-0.116) x DMI, kg/d], resulted in the smallest RMSPE values among these equations (RMSPE=28.6%, with 93.6% of MSPE from random error; RV=1.35). Among the nonlinear equations developed, Eq. W, CH(4), MJ/d=10.8 (+/-1.45) x (1-e([-0.141 (+/-0.0381) x DMI, kg/d])), performed well (RMSPE=29.0%, with 93.6% of MSPE from random error; RV=3.06), as did Eq. W(3), CH(4), MJ/d=10.8 (+/-1.45) x [1-e({-[-0.034 x (NFC/NDF)+0.228] x DMI, kg/d})] (RMSPE=28.0%, with 95% of MSPE from random error). Extant equations from a previous publication by the authors performed comparably with, if not better than in some cases, the newly developed equations. Equation selection by users should be based on RV and RMSPE analysis, input variables available to the user, and the diet fed, because the equation selected must account for divergence from a "normal" diet (e.g., high-concentrate diets, high-fat diets).

Consumer perception of organic cow milk is associated with the assumption that organic milk differs from conventionally produced milk. The value associated with this difference justifies the premium retail price for organic milk. It includes the perceptions that organic dairy farming is kinder to the environment, animals, and people; that organic milk products are produced without the use of antibiotics, added hormones, synthetic chemicals, and genetic modification; and that they may have potential benefits for human health. Controlled studies investigating the differences between organic and conventionally produced milk have so far fallen short of a conclusion as to whether or not these differences exist. Controlled studies investigating whether differences exist between organic and conventionally produced milk have so far been largely equivocal due principally to the complexity of the research question and the number of factors that can influence milk composition. A main complication is that farming practices and their effects differ depending on country, region, year, and season between and within organic and conventional systems. Factors influencing milk composition (e.g., diet, breed, and stage of lactation) have been studied individually, whereas interactions between multiple factors have been largely ignored. Studies that fail to consider that factors other than the farming system (organic vs. conventional) could have caused or contributed to the reported differences in milk composition make it impossible to determine whether a system-related difference exists between organic and conventional milk. Milk fatty acid composition has been a central research area when comparing organic and conventional milk. Milk fatty acid composition has been a central research area when comparing organic and conventional milk largely because milk fatty acid profile responds rapidly and is very sensitive to changes in diet. Consequently, the effect of farming practices (high input vs. low input) rather than farming system (organic vs. conventional) determines milk fatty acid profile, and similar results are seen between low-input organic and low-input conventional milks. This confounds our ability to develop an analytical method to distinguish organic from conventionally produced milk and provide product verification. Lack of research on interactions between several influential factors and differences in trial complexity and consistency between studies (e.g., sampling period, sample size, reporting of experimental conditions) complicate data interpretation and prevent us from making unequivocal conclusions. The first part of this review provides a detailed summary of individual factors known to influence milk composition. The second part presents an overview of studies that have compared organic and conventional milk and discusses their findings within the framework of the various factors presented in part one.

Mixed ruminal microbes were incubated for 24h in vitro with mixed forage and concentrate rations under conditions that differed in starch level (200 or 300g/kg dry matter (DM)), initial pH (6.3 or 6.7) and corn oil (0 or 10g/kg DM), in order to determine effects on fermentation (fiber digestibility, volatile fatty acid (VFA) production) and relative population sizes (RPS) of various bacterial taxa (expressed as a percentage of 16S ribosomal RNA gene copies determined by quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR)). Within the range of in vitro conditions tested, monensin-adapted inocula incubated in the presence of monensin did not differ in in vitro fiber digestibility relative to inocula from the same cows prior to adaptation and incubated in the absence of monensin. Although total VFA production did not differ among in vitro treatments, a shift from acetate toward propionate production was generally observed at the higher starch level, lower pH, and presence of corn oil. Surprisingly, monensin cultures displayed slightly decreased proportions of propionate and increased proportions of butyrate and valerate. After 24h in vitro incubations containing 300g starch/kg DM and in the absence of monensin, the RPS of 13 of the 16 taxa examined differed (P

Colostrum samples for 93 Holstein cows and blood samples of 49 newborn calves fed only colostrum for 1 wk postpartum were collected to clarify the effect of parity on colostral and plasma mineral concentration. The concentrations of colostral Ca, P, Mg, Na, Fe, Zn, Cu, and Mn were highest at parturition and decreased rapidly by 24 h postpartum. Three cows had an extremely low concentration of colostral Ca and P. Colostral Ca, P, and Mg at parturition decreased as lactation number increased and stabilized after the third lactation. Colostral Zn of primiparous cows at parturition tended to be higher than that of multiparous cows, but no effect on colostral Fe, Cu, and Mn was due to parity. Blood hematocrit and hemoglobin of newborn calves increased with greater lactation number of the dams, and the blood values were lowest at d 6 postpartum for calves born from primiparous cows. Plasma Ca of calves born from primiparous cows tended to be higher than those of calves from multiparous cows, and blood hemoglobin and plasma inorganic P concentrations of female calves were higher than those of males at d 1 postpartum. Blood hematocrit and hemoglobin and plasma Mg decreased with time postpartum, but plasma Zn and Cu increased. In general, lactation number was a major factor for alteration of colostral minerals of cows and mineral status of newborn calves.
