Abstract

An experiment was conducted to evaluate the impact of sodium bentonite (SB) on milk yield, digestibility and feed intake of Holstein dairy cows fed phosalone pesticide-contaminated alfalfa silage. Twenty Holstein dairy cows (average weight 577±37 kg) were used as a completely randomized design with repeated measurements. Experimental treatments were 1) control: containing alfalfa silage without pesticide phosalone and SB, 2) control + SB alone (330g SB/head/day), 3) control + contaminated alfalfa with phosalone, and 4) control + SB (330g/day) + contaminated alfalfa with phosalone. Dry matter intake (DMI) and milk efficiency were not affected by the treatments, but the milk production, digestibility of DM and organic matter were higher in treatments containing SB compared to control (P<0.05). Fecal contents were significantly (P<0.05) lower in the treatment containing SB (especially treatment 4). The phosalone transfer from contaminated feed to milk was evident, as its transfer coefficient for treatments of 3 and 4 were 1.35 and 0.79% respectively. The transferring of phosalone to milk decreased significantly by the SB application (p<0.05). Also excreted phosalone via urine and fecal increased significantly in treatments with SB (p<0.05). Results indicated that phosalone is transferred to the milk via the contaminated feed, and SB as well as improvement of animal performance can be prevented from entering phosalone to the milk.
