Feeding of untreated soybean straw (T2) and 2 per cent urea treated soybean straw (T3) was evaluated on the performance of lactating cows in reference to conventional jowar straw diet (T1). It was found within 120 days trial that, the Hb levels showed a increase from the initial level of 9.83 to 9.96, 9.76 to 10.08 and 9.86 to 10.80 g/dl/cow, blood glucose levels increased from 48.68 to 48.89, 45.89 to 53.36 and 45.16 to 56.24 mg/dl in T1, T2 and T3 groups, respectively The STP levels increase from initial content was 5.89 to 6.05, 5.76 to 6.38 and 5.70 to 6.58 g/dl, Significantly more BUN (17.82 mg/dl) was noticed in cows offered with T3 followed by T2 (13.85 mg/dl) and T2 (16.66 mg/dl) while blood urea pooled means were noticed as 29.65, 38.13 and 35.67 mg/dl in cows offered T1, T2 and T3 groups, respectively The pooled means of STL were 278.15, 298.22 and 302.30 mg/d, the pooled means of STC content were 69.18, 68.64 and 77.06mg/dl and the serum triglyceride content of blood increased were 16.72, 16.79 and 17.57mg/dl, in cows offered T1, T2 and T3 groups, respectively. The results do suggest that 2 per cent urea treated SBS can find a place in the ration of lactating cows without any adverse effect on health of cows.
