Comparison of Ad Libitum Grain and Restricted Roughage Feeding with Conventional Dairy Cattle Feeding Practices

Dairy Cattle-selection, Feeding and Management

ORGANIC ANALYTICAL REAGENTS By JOHN H. YOE, Professor of Chemistry, University of Virginia, and LANDON A. BARVER, Director of Research, American Viscose Corporation. A comprehensive treatise on organic analytical reagents. It represents probably the first attempt to collect in one volume the data hitherto scattered throughout the literature. A glossary of reagents is included, and a bibliograph...

Fat-Feeding Practices for Lactating Dairy Cows

Supplementing cows with fat can have several beneficial effects. It usually increases the energy density of the diet as starch or fiber is replaced with fatty acids. If milk production is increased, then feed efficiency may be improved. Less heat may be produced in the rumen during digestion of fat-supplemented diets as fatty acids are not digested in the rumen. Less heat produced during digest...

Control of feeding in aplysia with ad libitum access to food: presence of food increases the intervals between feeding bouts.

The patterning of feeding and the quantity eaten in Aplysia californica with ad libitum food access cannot be explained by the effects of three variables previously shown to control the patterning of consummatory feeding responses and the quantity eaten in animals hand-fed individual meals. Feeding in ad libitum conditions is regulated primarily by varying the time between feeding bouts rather ...

Preservation and Feeding of Wet Distillers Grains to Dairy Cattle

Distillers’ grains continue to be one of the most readily available co-products in use in the Midwest. Its price is driven not only by that of other concentrate feeds (such as corn and soybean meal) but also by supply and demand. Its popularity has increased in recent years among dairy producers, grain elevators, and nutritionists due to its high nutrient density, competitive price, and availab...
