RESUMO

It was evaluated the effect of diets with levels crude protein - CP (10, 12, 14 and 16% in dry matter - DM) on the performance and efficiency of utilization of nutrients in dairy cows. Twelve Holstein cows with average body weight (BW) of 570 kg, milk production (MP) of 13 kg/day were distributed in three 4x4 Latin squares. The feed consisted of 75% of corn silage and 25% of concentrate. Increased (P <0.05) linear in the intake of all components of the diet, except for total carbohydrates and non- fibrous carbohydrates (NFC), which decreased (P <0.05) linearly with the increase CP in the diet. The intake of total digestible nutrients (TDN) presented quadratic effect (P <0.05) with increase of CP, and estimated the maximum value of 10.13 kg / day at level of 15.62% of CP in the diet. The digestibility of CP, ether extract, neutral detergent fiber without and corrected for ash and protein increased (P <0.05) linearly with increases of CP. But the values for digestibility of dry matter, organic matter, NFC and TDN showed quadratic effect (P <0.05) with increases of CP, with an estimated point of maximum of 65.09, 67.23, 78.35 and 67.92 at leves of 15.39, 15.22, 12.62 and 15.68% CP, respectively. The MP, without and with correction to 3.5% fat (MPC), body weight variation and composition of the milk increased linearly (P <0.05) as function of the leves of CP, except for lactose which had no effect. The efficiency of nitrogen compounds in milk (kg milk N/kg N intake) presented quadratic effect (P <0.05) estimated the minimum value of 0.21 at the level of 15.57% CP. The excretions of purine derivatives in urine and protein production, urine volume and concentration of urea in milk and blood plasma increased (P <0.05) linearly with increase the CP. However, the excretion of urea nitrogen in urine showed a quadratic effect (P <0.05), estimated minimum value of 16.27 at the level of 9.08% CP. The balance of nitrogen increased (P <0.05) linearly with the level of CP, BN is estimated to be zero in the level of 11.59% CP. The level of 14% CP in the diet is more suitable for feeding to cows with average production of 13kg/dia milk.
