A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing a perennial ryegrass-based diet with fodder beet on milk production and milk fatty acid (FA) composition, of dairy cows in early lactation. Sixty Friesian × ...
The effects of feeding maize silage at different times prior to an herbage meal on dry matter intake, milksolids production and nitrogen excretion in late-lactation dairy cows
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 2015-06)
The objective of this study was to determine the effect of feeding maize silage at different times before the herbage meal on dry matter (DM) intake, milksolids (MS) production and nitrogen (N) excretion of late lactation ...
