Description Feeding experiment of 7 months duration was conducted on 18 lactating cows (Kankrej and Jersey x Kankrej) in 3 groups fed concentrate mixtures containing 0 (T1)' 10 (T2) and 20% (T3) level of mahua seed cake. 'NB 21' green fodder (5 kg) wa.s given to each cow to meet vitamin A requirement Pearlmillet(Pennisetum typhoides) straw and mature pasture grass (ad lib.) formed the basal fodder. Sen et al. (1978) feeding standards were followed for providing nutritional requirements of lactating cows. Mahua seed-cake had 18.34% CP, g. 16% EE, 1.04% CF, 66.43% NFE, 6.03% ash, 1.20% silica, 0.37% P and 0.25% Ca on DM basis. Inclusion of mahua seed-cake in concentrate mixtures of lactating cows did not adversely affect the dry-matter intake, nutrients intake, digestibilities of nutrients, balances of N,P and Ca, milk production, milk composition and economics of feeding.
