Supplementation with dehydrated coffee pulp in dairy cows and its effect on productive performance

The effect of including dehydrated coffee pulp in the diets of dairy cows in a grazing system, in Copey of Dota area of San Jose, Costa Rica, was evaluated. The experiment was conducted with 30 cows grouped according to similar characteristics in terms of birth number, milk production, days in milk, and body condition score. Three treatments with 10 repetitions each were used: Non-supplemented control, Treatment 1 (1 kg as fed of coffee pulp/animal/day replacing 1 kg of ripe banana peel), and Treatment 2 (2 kg as fed of coffee pulp/animal/day replacing 1 kg of balanced feed). Weekly records were kept on milk production and quality, somatic cell count (SCC), milk ureic nitrogen (MUN), as well as body condition score of the animals. Information on the costs of the evaluated diets was also collected. Repeated measures were analyzed over time using a mixed linear model with the statistical software R, with a Tukey test to determine the significance (p < 0.05) between treatments. No significant differences (p ˃ 0.05) were found for any of the variables of production, milk quality, and body condition score for the evaluated treatments. However, a 3.4% reduction in the cost of the diet was achieved with the inclusion of 2 kg of dehydrated coffee pulp (Treatment 2), maintaining the same performance in milk production and quality. Under the conditions of this research, it is concluded that supplementation with dehydrated coffee pulp did not affect the productive performance of cows in milk production but reduced the cost of feeding the animals, which should be valued as an advantage in dairy cattle diets.

Se evaluó el efecto de la inclusión de pulpa de café deshidratada en dietas de vacas lecheras en un sistema de pastoreo, en la zona de Copey del cantón de Dota, en San José, Costa Rica. El experimento se realizó con 30 vacas agrupadas de acuerdo con características similares en cuanto a número de parto, producción de leche, días en lactancia y condición corporal. Se utilizaron 3 tratamientos con 10 repeticiones cada uno: Control no suplementado, Tratamiento 1 (1 kg MF de pulpa de café/animal/día sustituyendo 1 kg de cáscara de banano maduro) y Tratamiento 2 (2 kg MF de pulpa de café/animal/día sustituyendo 1 kg de alimento balanceado). Se llevó un registro semanal por animal de la producción y calidad de leche, de células somáticas (CCS) y nitrógeno ureico en leche (NUL), así como de la condición corporal de los animales. También se recolectó información sobre los costos de las dietas evaluadas. Se utilizó un análisis de medidas repetidas en el tiempo con un modelo linear mixto, analizado con el software estadístico R y una prueba de Tukey para determinar la significancia (p < 0.05) de los posibles efectos de los distintos tratamientos. No se encontraron diferencias significativas (p ˃ 0.05) para ninguna de las variables de producción, calidad de leche ni condición corporal en los tratamientos evaluados. Sin embargo, sí se logró una reducción de un 3,4% en el costo de la dieta con la inclusión de 2 kg MF de pulpa de café deshidratada Tratamiento 2), logrando un mismo rendimiento en la producción y calidad de la leche. Bajo las condiciones de esta investigación, se concluye que la suplementación con pulpa de café deshidratada no tuvo efecto sobre el desempeño productivo de vacas en producción de leche, pero sí una reducción en los costos de alimentación de los animales, lo cual debe valorarse como una ventaja en el uso de este suplemento en dietas de ganado lechero.
