Influence of Formaldehyde-Treated Soybean Meal on Milk Production^{1, 2,}

Department of Animal Science, University of Minnesota, St. Paul 55108

ABSTRACT

Forty-eight Holstein cows were fed one of four diets containing 12.5% crude protein (negative control); 15.5% crude protein with untreated soybean meal; 15.5% crude protein with formaldehyde (.3%)-treated soybean meal; or 18% crude protein (positive control). Diets were 60% concentrate, 22% corn silage, 14% alfalfa hay, and 4% beet pulp (dry matter). Data were collected during the first 200 d of lactation. Dry matter intake, milk, and milk component yields did not differ among cows fed the untreated soybean meal, treated soybean meal, and positive control diets. Cows fed negative control diet consumed less dry matter and produced less milk than cows fed the other diets. Milk protein yield was lower for cows fed the negative control diet compared with the other diets. Nonprotein nitrogen content of milk increased as dietary protein increased.
