Dry matter intake prediction of Holstein heifers
… heifers and 5409 observations of individual dry matter intake (DMI) were used to develop an equation to predict DMI. Data were contributed by Pennsylvania State University, University of New Hampshire, Purina Mills, Kansas State University, University of Minnesota, and Virginia Tech. …

The Feeding Value of High Dry Matter Corn Silage
<p>The important of corn in dairy cattle feeding is generally acknowledged. A popular way of preserving the crop is to make corn silage, thus using the whole plant for feed and preserving maximum feed per acre. The increased utilization of corn silage by dairymen may be due to its high energy …

Grain hardness and slow dry matter disappearance rate in barley
… of grain hardness, variety and environment on dry matter disappearance rate (DMDR); identify accurate and efficient hardness selection tools; and study environmental effects, inheritance and heritability of hardness.To study grain hardness and genetic and environmental effects on DMDR, two …

Verification of equations to predict dry matter intake of dairy heifers
… of an prediction equation to accurately predict dry matter intake (DMI). Heifers ranging from 120 to 430 kg body weight, were randomly assigned to treatments with forage bases of 1) 100% corn silage, 2) 75% corn silage : 25% alfalfa haylage, 3) 50 % corn silage : 50% alfalfa haylage, or 4) 25% …

Development of equations to predict dry matter intake of dairy heifers
Equations to predict daily dry matter intake (DMI) of individual animals were developed with 118 Holstein heifers fed totally mixed rations (TMR). Animals grouped according to body weight (136, 227, 317 kg) were fed TMR (corn silage, ground hay, high moisture corn, soybean meal) once daily for 28 …

Distribution of dry matter production in twenty families of Virginia pine (Pinus virginiana)
… among the 20 families in the distribution of dry matter. Families differed in branch weight and cone weight but not in stem, stem bark, leaf, and total wood weight (stem + bark + branch weights). Proportionate distributions of stem, branch and stem bark dry weights were significantly different …

Dry matter estimation and potassium fertilization of intensively managed soft red winter wheat
Dry matter production must be predicted to utilize nitrogen recommendation models for winter wheat at growth stage 30. Four methods of dry matter estimation were evaluated for their ability to predict dry matter production. The pasture probe, height, and rising plate methods did not have adequate …

Design and evaluation of a grain respiration measurement system for dry matter loss of soybeans
… was designed, fabricated and tested to estimate dry matter loss (DML) of soybeans through monitoring carbon dioxide (CO2) from grain respiration by gravimetric analysis. The system consisted of three parts: conditioned air input, grain respiration column, and moisture and carbon dioxide …

Impacts of postweaning dry matter intake classification on beef heifer performance, prebreeding intake, and reproduction
Submission original under an indefinite embargo labeled 'Open Access'. The submission was exported from vireo on 2023-09-01 without embargo terms

Dry matter loss and compositional analysis of large switchgrass round bales during ambient storage in Virginia
… weathered layer to the inner core, depending on drying conditions since the last precipitation. In one instance weathered layer moisture content was three times the core moisture content Netwrapped bales were drier than string-wrapped bales. Negligible dry matter loss (DML) was reported at four …

The Relationship between Residual Feed Intake, Dry Matter Intake, and Reproductive Performance in Holstein Dairy Cows
… Decreasing the feed consumed, measured here as dry matter intake (DMI), would therefore be advantageous to producers. However, this decrease could result in cows that do not supply the necessary energy to maintain high production, growth, and reproduction. Measures of feed efficiency try to …

Effect of Forage Physical Form on Chewing Activity, Dry Matter Intake, and Rumen Function of Dairy Cows
… been extensively investigated as a modifier of dry matter intake (DMI), chewing activity, and digesta passage in sheep and steers fed all forage diets, but has not been examined using dairy cows in early lactation. The purpose of this study was to determine effect of reducing FPS on production, …

Water stress and remobilization of dry matter and nitrogen in wheat and barley genotypes / by Zeinolabedin Tahmasebi Sarvestani.
… genotypes. The study tests the accumulation of dry matter (DM) and nitrogen (N) in the grain and also their remobilization from the shoot to the grain. Water stress during grain filling was found to reduce DM and N accumulation and also to increase N concentration in both wheat and barley grain.

Influence of supplemental chromium picolinate on nitrogen balance, dry matter digestibility and carcass traits in growing-finishing pigs
… 200 ppb Cr as chromium picolinate (CrPic) on dry matter digestibility, nitrogen balance and leanness in growing-finishing pigs. In three similar trials, 12 crossbred barrows (littermate pairs) were used in each trial for two nitrogen balance periods (end of grower and end of finisher). After …
