Impact of an Agroforestry System on Grazing, Ruminating, and Resting Behaviors of Dairy Cows
The present study aimed to evaluate the effects of agroforestry system on the feeding behavior of dairy cows in the Brazilian Amazon region. Nineteen cross breed dairy cows (14.0±3.30 kg/d of milk yield and 450±40.1 kg body weight) were used. The following treatments were evaluated: A) animals were maintained in opened pasture of Brachiaria brizantha during all the day; B) animals were...
متن کاملEffect of Grazing Pressure and Supplemental Level on Weight Gain in Dairy Heifers
An experiment designed to assess the effect of two grazing pressures (GP, expressed as kg MS/100 kg LW) and four levels of supplement (0, 0.25, 0.50 and 0.75 expressed as kg/100 kg LW) fed to yearling heifers (212 kg) on live weight gain, was carried out at the Dairy Unit of INIA La Estanzuela (Uruguay). The experiment consisted of 8 treatments. Forty animals were used in the experiment, 5 per ...
متن کاملEffect of Restricted Grazing in Early Lactation on Milk Production from Dairy Heifers
Dairy heifers had an estimated grazed pasture intake of either 11.8 (H) or 6.0 (L) kg DM/heifer/day for four weeks in early lactation and a common pasture allowance thereafter. Group L produced less milk (2202 vs. 2433 R) and milk protein (75.0 vs. 81.6 kg) than Group H in 31 weeks but milk fat yield (104.9 vs. 109.8 kg) and milk composition were not significantly affected. All heifers lost bod...
متن کاملIncreased Fecal Ethanol and Methanol Concentration in Dairy Heifers after Grazing
To clarify fermentative alterations in the large intestine (hindgut) during grazing, fecal alcohol and volatile fatty acids (VFAs) concentrations were evaluated in 30 dairy heifers. The heifers were kept in pasture growing mixed grass herbage from spring (mid May) until October, and their rectal feces were collected periodically. Concentrations of ethanol, methanol and isopropanol were increase...
متن کاملFeeding Behavior of Pregnant Dairy Heifers during Last Trimester under Loose Housing System
Thirty pregnant heifers (Jersey, Holstein Friesian and Hariana) were divided into three groups (10 animals/group) according to their stage of pregnancy viz. seven-month (181-210 days) pregnancy (SMP), eight-month (211-240 days) pregnancy (EMP) and nine-month (241-280 days) pregnancy (NMP) group. Time spent in various feeding activities (eating fodder, eating concentrate, standing rumination, si...
