Kandungan Lemak, Total Bahan Kering dan Bahan Kering tanpa Lemak Susu Sapi Perah Akibat Interval Pemerahan Berbeda

Abstract

This study aimed to compare the milking interval on milk fat content, Total Solid and Solid Non Fat (SNF). The dairy cattle used was 16 Frisien Holstein cows at the second and third milking periods and at fourth and fifth months of lactation. The average of body weight and milk production were 373.27 ± 27.32 kg (CV 7.32%) and 12.50 ± 0.06 liters (CV 0.46%). The experimental design used was Crossover Design. The treatment was T1 (milking interval 12:12 hours) and T2 (milking interval 16:8 hours). The parameters observed were milk fat, total solid and solid non fat. The data were analysed by F test. The results showed that milk fat content was 0.56 and 0.50 kg/head/day (P<0.05), total solid content was 1.80 and 1.56 kg/head/day (P<0.05), Solid non fat on milk was 19.76 and 17.34 kg/ head/day (P<0.05 ) for P1 and P2, respectively. In conclusion, the milking interval used by 12:12 hours was better than 16:8 hours to increase milk quality
