- -
- Group I included six lactating cows (n = 6), who were fed twice daily (6:00 am and 4:30 pm) on a conventional lactation diet (LD) (Table 1). In this group, cows were chosen randomly from healthy lactating cows, regardless of their age or days in milk (DIM).
- -
- Group II included five (n = 5) non-lactating late pregnant cows (7 to 9 months of pregnancy), which were fed twice daily (6:00 am and 4:30 pm) on a conventional far-off diet (FD) (Table 1). In this group, cows were randomly chosen from healthy non-lactating cows.
