The effect of supplementary maize silage on rumen function in dairy cows grazing high quality pasture : A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Agricultural Science with Honours at Lincoln University
Maize (corn) silage is increasingly being used as a supplementary feed within the New Zealand dairy industry. Supplementing a high quality pasture diet with 4 kg DM/day of maize silage altered the diurnal pattern of rumen pH, with the pH of maize supplemented cows being significantly higher than …

Effects of pasture silage on yield and composition of milk from dairy cows
… level and diet type (notably unwilted pasture silage) may have independent effects on yield and composition of milk. The objective of this research was to investigate the separate effects of forage type and feeding level on milk yield and composition and to study some of the mechanisms that may …

Finite volume analysis and optimisation of a high pressure homogeniser
… release organic material to produce methane with maize crop. It is believed that breaking apart microbial walls of microbes in the sludge can release organic material that can further increase methane production and also reduce digester volume. In this case, the waste water sludge with microbes …

DEFATTED SEED CAKES RECOVERY TO INCREASE BIOFUEL PRODUCTION SUSTAINABILITY FROM SECOND-GENERATION OIL-CROPS
… to 337 ± 15 NmlCH4 g TS-1 ), was comparable to maize silage. Combining double cropping, biogas production, digestate fertilisation, and nitrification inhibitors resulted in an 81% GHG reduction. The second step focused on the valorisation of DSCs from C. sativa, Brassica carinata, and Brassica …

Development of a Novel Multi-Parameter Monitoring Tool for Optimisation and Environmental Compliance of Anaerobic Digestion Technology
… cattle slurry and was occasionally co-fed with maize silage. The reactor design for this AD plant was based on a plug flow system with gas mixing. The AD plant was chosen due to the diversity of feedstocks, the presence of a homogenisation tank, the type of reactor enabling process intermediates …

PLANT SECONDARY METABOLITES AS A STRATEGY TO REDUCE METHANE EMISSIONS AND IMPROVE FEED EFFICIENCY IN RUMINANTS
… anti-methanogenic potential when included to maize silage at a concentration of 12% of the feed dry matter. After 48 h of incubation in buffered rumen fluid, CH4 production was significantly reduced by 43% with addition of quercetin (but not the other flavonoids catechin, epicatechin, or …
