Effect of roughage to concentrate ratio on ruminal fermentation and protein degradability in dairy cows
… effects of increasing levels of dietary concentrate on some rumen parameters and ruminal crude protein (CP) degradability. The in situ method was used to determine the ruminal protein degradability of sunflower oilcake, cottonseed oilcake and roasted soya. The three treatments differed in …

Intake capacity of the Icelandic dairy cow. Effect of animal factors, concentrate ratio and feeding method
… intake (DMI) is crucial to formulate a feed ration that maximizes feed efficiency. The model predicting the DMI of the Icelandic dairy cow in the co-Nordic feed evaluation system NorFor needed an update to be able to predict the DMI more accurately. The aims of this study were to collect new …

Lactational Evaluation of Recombinant Bovine Somatotropin with Corn and Barley Diets
… 80% corn silage and 20% alfalfa hay. Forage to concentrate ratio in total mixed diets varied from 50:50 to 70:30 with milk production. For the entire lactation, milk production of (29.7 and 29.1 kg/d) and 4% FCM (27.3 and ·25.9 kg/d) was lower for cows fed barley based diets. Percentages of milk …

Canola Meal Replacing Dried Distillers Grains with Solubles in Diets for Lactating Dairy Cows
… protein. All diets contained a forage to concentrate ratio of 55:45, with forage being 50% corn silage and 50% alfalfa hay. Diets were formulated to be similar in crude protein (16.0%) and ether extract (4.7%). No difference (P > 0.05) was found among treatments for dry matter intake. An …

Intake and Digestibility of Brown-Midrib Corn Silage by Lactating Dairy Cows
… 1, five cows per group were individually fed a ration of silage and grain (60:40 ratio, dry matter basis) from week 2 through 8 of lactation. Lignin percentages for bm<sub>3</sub> and normal silages were 4.9 and 6.4. Cattle fed the bm<sub>3</sub> ration consumed 19% more total dry matter as …

Digesta Passage, Fermentation, and Microbes in the Hindgut and Its Relative Contribution to the Nutrition of Cattle
… and colon was greatly affected by the forage to concentrate ratio; physical form of the forage had little effect. Contribution of the cecum and colon to total tract digestion of nutrients was greatest with the high grain diets. With the high grain diets, the cecum and colon accounted for up to 9, …

The role of higher protein forages and home grown protein sources within Northern Ireland dairy production systems
… requirements of higher yielding dairy cows, concentrate feed levels have increased, and this has led to an increased demand for quality protein ingredients such as soya bean meal and rapeseed meal. As some protein ingredients, especially soya bean meal (SBM), are often imported from countries …
