Description Pregnant dry crossbred co~I4) were divided into 2 equal groups and were fed with cationic and anionic diets 45 days prepartum. The dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) value of the diet was 14.58 and -11.82 meq/l00 g (Na++K++0.38Ca+2+0.30 Mg+2)-(CI+0.60S0/+0.50P-3 ) in cation and anion groups respectively. After parturition, both the groups were fed with cationic diet upto 90 days of lactation. Prepartum feed intake in both the groups was not affected by dietary treatments. However, there was significant increase in feed intake in anionic group of cows during postpartum period. The DM intake/IOO kg body weight increased during postpartum period as compared to prepartum in both the groups ofcows. Colostrum and milk fat per cent in anionic group was significantly increased. Feeding of anionic diet during prepartum period resulted in significant increase (P
