Milk Production of Dairy Cows Fed Grass-Clover Silage Pulp

Silage pulp (SP) is a byproduct from biorefinary of silage that can be used as forage source for ruminants. However, there lack information regarding the complete replacement dietary SP on performance dairy cows. The purpose this study was to evaluate substitution grass-clover milk production Grass-clover mixture harvested, wilted, and ensiled in bunker silos. screw pressed biorefinery solid liquid (protein-rich juice) separation. Seventy-two lactating cows were completely randomized block design, receiving either original silage- or SP-based diets. diet had lower concentrations water-soluble carbohydrates crude protein but greater fibre concentration compared silage-based diet. Milk yield energy corrected generally Cows yields fat, tended have lactose than composition, body condition score weight not affected by reduced lactation over time.
