Cows at each station were randomly assigned to diets with or without,* gof RPMet daily, during a. wk prepartum through a +. wk postpartum, and were fed a total mixed ration consisting of timothy hay, alfalfa hay, and concentrate mixture, containing +..0 crude protein (CP) in the first year (Exp. +) and +0.* CP in the second year (Exp.,). In Exp. +, the+..0 CP diet with RPMet increased milk yield. kg per day a compared to that without RPMet (.*.- and -0., kg, respectively). Also, the milk protein yield was increased with the supplementation of RPMet (+.,- and +.+* kg/day, respectively). The percentages of fat, protein, and urea in milk were una#ected by RPMet supplementation. However, in Exp., showed no responses in lactation performance by the supplementation of RPMet to the +0.* CP diet. Nitrogen excretion in the feces and urine of cows fed the +..0 CP diet was estimated --/g /day, and this value was lower than those fed the +0.* CP diet (.*. g/day). Blood profiles except methionine concentration and reproductive performance were una#ected by RPMet supplementation. These results indicate that the supplementation of RPMet to low CP diets improve milk production and decrease nitrogen excretion during early lactation. Nihon Chikusan Gakkaiho, 1.
