Abstract
A total of 8 Murrah buffalo on thier first stage of lactation with apparently similar milk yield from the project record were used in the study to determine the effect of betaine on milk yield and milk components. The treatments were randomly assigned to the buffaloes with 4 replicates per treatment. The diets were basal diet without Betaine (BD), and BD with 30 g Betaine (BD + FA). Results disclosed that the milk production of the dairy buffaloes fed BD + FA in the diet had numerically higher amount of production on the 3- month study period. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences between the average nilk production throughout the duration of the study. The average milk nutrient components of the milk of dairy buffaloes such as fat, protein, solid non fat and total solid did not show statistical differences.
