Twenty four cross breed dairy cows with early lactation mean initial milk yield of 10±1.34 (mean ±SE) lit per cow per day and average initial body weight 388.75 ± 2.41 kg (mean ±SE) was used for this research work. The experiment had four treatments with six replications by using a randomized complete block design to which villages was used for blocking. The treatments were; T1, Harvested fresh natural pasture and sole wheat bran 100 %. T2, Harvested fresh natural pasture and concentrate mix comprised with wheat bran 66%, noug seed cake33% and salt 1%. T3, Harvested fresh natural pasture and concentrate mix comprised with cotton seed cake 33%, wheat bran 66% and 1% salt and .T4, harvested fresh natural pasture and Urea molasses block. There was significant (P<0.05) differences on average crude protein and acid detergent fiber intakes among treatment groups. The average daily Milk yield have significant difference (P<0.05) among treatment diets. The daily average milk yield increment among treatments liter per cow per day was 3.00± 0.47, 2.89± 0.38 , 2.66± 0.38, and 0.42± 0.38; for T4, T2, T3 and T1 correspondingly. The partial budget analysis describes monthly gross profit obtained from milk sale among the treatments was for T4= 1038.75 birr, T2=956.40 birr, T3= 844.20 birr and T1=-190.80 birr was observed. Thus, it was concluded that Holstein Frisian cross breed dairy cows at early stage of lactation fed a basal diet of fresh natural grass supplemented with 3 kg wheat bran and 500 gm UMB per day per cow could be a better strategy to improve the milk yield and income under small hold farmers' management.

Twelve second parity and twelve third parity dairy cows with mid lactation mean initial milk yield of 4.36± 0.29 lit per cow per day and average initial body weight (243.78 ± 3.07 kg) was used for this research work. The experiment had three treatments with eight replications by using a randomized complete design. The treatments were; T1, Harvested fresh enset corm (Ensete Ventricosum)) 6kg mixed with 1.5 kg wheat bran, T2,3 kg Sole wheat bran and T3, 3 kg concentrate mix with comprised 33 % noug seed cake, 66% wheat bran and 1% salt. There was significant (P<0.05) differences in crude protein and acid detergent fiber intakes among treatment groups. The Milk yield have significant difference (P<0.05) among treatment diets. The daily milk yield increment per supplemented treatment diets in 30 days of experimental period of time (liter/cow/day) was 2.1, 1.93 and 1.5 for T3, T1 and T2 correspondingly, It could be concluded that Holstein Frisian cross breed dairy cows maintained on a basal diet of natural grass supplemented with 1.5 kg wheat bran and 6 kg/day/ cow chopped fresh enset corm have similar milk yield with the supplementation of 3kg/day/cow concentrate mix for mid lactation Holstein Frisian cross breed dairy cow under farmers management condition; it could be a better strategy to improve the milk yield under small hold farmers with locally available feed resource supplemented with wheat bran is economically feasible at enset production area.
