Abstract

In order to evaluate the effects of supplementation of N'Dama dairy cows through potato vines (V₁= 366 kg) and rice straw (V₂= 366 kg) in times of scarcity, a trial was set up in Modiya, from March 3 to April 28, 2023 with 18 dairy cows from the 4th and 5th lactation divided into three (3) variants (V₀; V₁= supplemented with potato vines; V₂= supplemented with straw rice) with (3) repetitions (R₁, R₂, R₃) in a random block with simple classification. Each animal received its supplementary ration once a day after milking. A weekly milk sample for eight (8) weeks provided the average production: V₀=13.67; V₁= 16.20 and V₂= 18.44 liters. A chemical analysis of the milk gave the protein and fat levels which are respectively for V₀: 4.48 and 3.20%; V₁: 7.10 and 3.90%; V_2:5.60 and 3.89 %. The results show that in Modiya supplementation increased the quantity and quality of the milk of the cows which received the supplement compared to the control group.
