    The document discusses several dairy animal species including dairy cattle, dairy buffalo, dairy camels, and their nutritional needs. Dairy cattle produce the majority (82%) of the world's milk while buffalo produce 14%. The main feeds for dairy cattle and buffalo are forages like hay and grains, while camels can produce milk from poorer quality feeds in arid environments.

    DAIRY ANIMALS

    Dairy Cattle
    • Dairy cattle (also called dairy
    cows) are bred for the ability to
    produce large quantities
    of milk, from which dairy
    products are being made.
    • Dairy cows generally are of
    the species Bos taurus.
    • Cattles produce 82 percent of
    world milk production.
    Nutrition of Dairy Cows
    • Forages, which refer especially to hay or straw,
    are the most common type of feed used.
    • Cereal grains, as the main contributors of starch
    to diets, are important in meeting
    the energy needs of dairy cattle.
    • Barley is an excellent source of balanced
    amounts of protein, energy, and fiber.
    Dairy buffalo
    • The domestic water
    buffalo (Bubalus bubalis)
    contributes a significant share
    of global milk production and is
    the major milk producing
    animal in several countries.
    • Buffaloes produce 14 percent
    of world milk production.
    • Water buffalo like hanging out
    in water and wallowing the
    mud.
    Nutrition of Dairy Buffalo
    • The main diet for the buffalo is roughage such
    as grass, legumes and straw. The roughage can
    be fed either fresh as pasture or in a cut-and-
    carry-system or conserved as hay or silage.
    • Requirements for buffaloes are more or less the
    same as for cattle, therefore, nutrient
    requirement tables for dairy cattle may be used
    as a guidance.

    Dairy Camel
    • Camels are found in Africa
    and Asia and are kept mostly
    by nomads. There are two
    species of camels:
    – one-humped Arabian
    camels or dromedaries(Camelus
    dromedarius) – the camels of the
    plains; and
    – two-humped Bactrian
    camels (Camelus bactrianus) –
    the camels of the mountains
    • Camels are raised for milk,
    meat, fibre (wool and hair),
    transport and other work; their
    dung is used as fuel.
    Dairy Camel
    • Camels can produce more milk from poor feed
    than any other dairy species.
    • There is growing recognition of the value and
    benefits of camels for their milk, meat and fibre.
    • Camel dairy products could not only provide
    more food for people in arid and semi-arid areas
    but also give nomadic herders a rich source of
    income.
    Nutrition of Dairy Camel
    • The yield and quality of milk produced by an
    animal depend on the composition of the feed
    available, including liquids.
    • The main forage is obtained from trees and
    shrubs. The diet is made up of species
    of Acacia, Indigofera, Dispera, and Tribulus.
    • Camels have been successfully grazed on pure
    Alfalfa and overmature Panicum maximum in
    Ethiopia (Knoess, 1977).
