Abstract:

This study was conducted with the purpose of evaluating the effect of food supplementation on the production and physical and chemical composition of milk from cows of the breed Curraleiro Pé duro in a grazing system in the semiarid area of Paraíba. Ten cows of the breed Curraleiro Pé duro, at the second lactation month, arranged in a double 5 x 5 Latin square design, were used in the experiment. Besides food supplementation, protein and mineral supplement and water were fed ad libitum to the cows. Cubic profile was observed (P<0.05) for acidity, density and non-fat solids in relation to food supplement concentrate. As for cryoscopy, quadratic effect (P<0.05) was observed. The supplement concentrate affected the physical and chemical composition, but did not change the amount of milk produced by Curraleiro Pé duro cows in the semiarid area of Paraíba.
