Neither milk nor ECM production were affected by feeding Bovamine. Feeding Bovamine, however, decreased DMI by 3.59%, resulting in an improvement in milk production efficiency and ECM production efficiency of 6.1% and 5.3%, respectively. Inclusion of Bovamine in dairy cattle diets should be considered to increase milk production efficiency.</p>enarticleisulib-bepress-aws-west19865090774ans_air/vol660/iss1/42https://doi.org/10.31274/ans_air-180814-1162AgricultureAnimal SciencesDairy ScienceAnimal Science
