Effect of Curcumma, Zn-Proteinate, and Cu-Proteinate Supplements on Milk Production of Subclinical Mastitis Fries Holland Cows

The objective of the research was to find out the effect of Curcumma, Zn-proteinate, and Cu-proteinate supplementation on subclinical mastitis status in term of 4% FCM milk production. The research was conducted using 24 heads of lactating dairy cows in Randomized Block Design with six treatments, and four groups of milk production as replication i.e. I=  >14 kg/day ; II= 12-13.99 kg/day ; III= 10-11.99 kg/day;  IV= <10 kg/day.  Treatments were:  R 1 (Control); R 2 (R 1 + 2% Zn proteinate); R 3 (R 1 + 2% Cu-proteinate); R 4 (R 1 + 2% Curcumma); R 5 (R 1 + 2% Zn-proteinate + 2% Cu-proteinate); R 6 (R 1 + 2% Zn-proteinate + 2% Cu-proteinate + 2% Curcumma). Parameters observed were 4%FCM milk production and subclinis status.  The results showed that ration supplemented with Curcumma, Zn-proteinate, and Cu-proteinate decreased mastitis subclinic status and 4% FCM milk production increased significantly.  Supplementation of Curcumma, Zn-proteinate, and Cu-proteinate resulted is the best for  decrease in subclinical mastitis indicator and increase 4% FCM milk production.
