Abstract
This study was done to determine whether rice straw and molasses-urea mixture as feed supplements to Thai native first-calf heifer cows on pasture during dry season could be applied in practice. The experiment was divided into two regimes: the supplemented, designed to fall on the dry season and the unsupplemented, designed to fall on the start of the rainy seasob. Two by two factorial in randomized complete block design was used in the analysis of the data. No significant differences were found in weight gain among treatments during the supplemented, non-supplemented and whole experimental periods. A high correlation coefficient between body weight and heartgirth which had a value of 0.7844 was obtained.
