Moringa oleifera (MO) leaf contains higher level of crude protein, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can improve animal health, productivity and growth. This study aimed to investigate the effects of Moringa oleifera (MO) silage on milk yield, milk quality and serum metabolites of lactating Pabna cattle. A total twelve (n = 12) lactating cow were selected for two dietary groups, where one was farm practice: 60% German + 40% concentrate and another one was MO silage: 60% MO silage + 40% concentrate, using a Randomized Complete Block Design (RCBD) with six replication for 60 days. The statistical analysis was done using R studio (4.2.2) software. The results revealed non-significant differences for dry matter intake between two dietary groups, whereas significantly (p < 0.05) higher digestibility of DM, CP, ADF and NDF were observed in MO silage group. Moreover, MO silage had significant (p < 0.05) effects on milk yield, milk protein and lactose content. In serum metabolites, MO silage significantly (p < 0.05) decreased glucose and creatinine, whereas calcium also increased (p < 0.05) compared to farm practice group. Furthermore, alanine transaminase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol had significantly (p < 0.05) decreased in MO silage than farm practice. A correlation was found among blood metabolites, milk parameter and their interaction. Considering the results, it could be concluded that, MO silage can be a valuable alternative feed resources for increasing milk production of dairy cattle.
辣木（MO）叶含有较高水平的粗蛋白、维生素、矿物质和抗氧化剂，可改善动物健康、生产力和生长。本研究旨在探讨辣木（MO）青贮饲料对泌乳的帕布纳牛产奶量、牛奶品质和血清代谢产物的影响。总共挑选了12头泌乳奶牛，分为两个日粮组，一组采用农场常规日粮：60%德国黑麦草+40%精饲料，另一组采用MO青贮饲料：60%MO青贮饲料+40%精饲料，采用随机完全区组设计（RCBD），重复6次，为期60天。使用R studio（4.2.2）软件进行统计分析。结果显示，两个日粮组之间的干物质摄入量无显著差异，而MO青贮饲料组的干物质、粗蛋白、酸性洗涤纤维和中性洗涤纤维的消化率显著更高（p<0.05）。此外，MO青贮饲料对产奶量、乳蛋白和乳糖含量有显著（p<0.05）影响。在血清代谢产物方面，与农场常规日粮组相比，MO青贮饲料显著（p<0.05）降低了葡萄糖和肌酐，而钙含量也有所增加（p<0.05）。此外，MO青贮饲料组的谷丙转氨酶、γ-谷氨酰转移酶、胆固醇和低密度脂蛋白胆固醇显著（p<0.05）低于农场常规日粮组。发现血液代谢产物、牛奶参数及其相互作用之间存在相关性。考虑到结果，可以得出结论，MO青贮饲料可以作为一种有价值的替代饲料资源，用于提高奶牛的产奶量。
