Milk production of fall-calving dairy cows during summer grazing of grass or grass-clover pasture.
Milk production of fall-calving dairy cows during subsequent summer grazing was evaluated in two consecutive years using a total of 80 mid- to late-lactation Holsteins. Cows calved during September and October and grazed from April to August in the following year. In yr 1, 27 cows grazed a native grass pasture and 13 cows grazed a native grass-clover mixed pasture containing 26% red clover and ...

متن کاملAdaptation and evaluation of the GrazeIn model of grass dry matter intake and milk yield prediction for grazing dairy cows.
The prediction of grass dry matter intake (GDMI) and milk yield (MY) are important to aid sward and grazing management decision making. Previous evaluations of the GrazeIn model identified weaknesses in the prediction of GDMI and MY for grazing dairy cows. To increase the accuracy of GDMI and MY prediction, GrazeIn was adapted, and then re-evaluated, using a data set of 3960 individual cow meas...
متن کاملHow Do Dairy Cows Perform When Fed Grass vs. Legume Diets?
INTRODUCTION Alfalfa is the primary forage fed to lactating dairy cows; however, there is renewed interest in utilizing grass forages in lactating dairy cow diets particularly because of farm nutrient management issues. Yield and perceived quality is generally lower for grass species compared to legumes while other agronomic factors such as longer stand life, requirement for nitrogen fertilizer...
متن کاملLactational responses to postruminal infusions of amino acids in dairy cows fed maize silage, hay or grass silage.
Duodenal infusions of methionine and ly-sine have been shown to increase milk protein yield in dairy cows given a dehydrated maize diet (Rulquin, 1987). As du-odenal amino acids (AA) profiles vary according to diet (Le Henaff, unpublished), a trial was undertaken to test the lactational responses of dairy cows to methionine and lysine infusions with 3 other diets based on either maize silage (M...
