Özet
Effects of feeding ground wheat (GW) and NaOH-treated wheat (SW) in the concentrate
and silage on dry matter intake, milk yield and composition, and blood metabolites were
compared using 16 Holstein dairy cows, distributed in two groups. SW did not affect DM intake
of concentrate and silage among cows. FCM 4% yield got improved (P<0.01) with SW as
compared to GW without affecting the milk composition. SW decreased (P<0.01) the blood urea
content without affecting total protein, glucose, Na or K content. Increasing the
concentrate level increased milk protein content, without affecting the blood metabolites. There
was a significant (P<0.01)interaction between the concentrate level and milk protein content.
