Relationship between processing score and kernel-fraction particle size in whole-plant corn silage.
Kernel processing increases starch digestibility in whole-plant corn silage (WPCS). Corn silage processing score (CSPS), the percentage of starch passing through a 4.75-mm sieve, is widely used to assess degree of kernel breakage in WPCS. However, the geometric mean particle size (GMPS) of the kernel-fraction that passes through the 4.75-mm sieve has not been well described. Therefore, the obje...
متن کاملCase Study: Fermentation of frozen whole-plant corn silage and high-moisture corn after thawing
The study objectives were to evaluate (1) the effect of thawing unfermented whole-plant corn (WPC; Exp. 1) on fermentation capacity after several months of frozen storage, and (2) the effect of temperature on fermentation profile of thawed high-moisture corn (HMC; Exp. 2) stored frozen for a longer period and then fermented at 2 ambient temperatures. Unfermented WPC and HMC samples were obtaine...
متن کاملStage of maturity, processing, and hybrid effects on ruminal in situ disappearance of whole-plant corn silage
Five in situ trials with whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) were conducted in two ruminallycannulated Holstein cows to determine 24-h ruminal disappearance of dry matter (DM), starch, and neutral detergent ®ber (NDF). In Trial 1, the effect of maturity of WPCS on ruminal nutrient disappearance was evaluated. Treatments were early dent (ED), 1/4 milk-line (1/4 ML), 2/3 milkline (2/3 ML), and black-l...
متن کاملDegree of Starch Access (DSA): Starch Digestibility in Forages and Grains fed to Dairy Cattle
Starch, supplied in Midwest diets primarily from high-moisture and dry corn grain and whole-plant corn silage, is an important source of energy for dairy cattle. However, the digestibility of corn starch can be highly variable. Various factors, particle size (fine vs. coarse grind), grain processing (steam flaked vs. dry rolled), storage method (dry vs. high-moisture corn), moisture content of ...
متن کاملThe effect of corn silage particle size and cottonseed hulls on cows in early lactation.
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of reducing forage particle length (FPL) and the inclusion of cottonseed hulls (CSH) on intake, digestibility, chewing activity, and milk production of cows in early lactation. Sixteen multiparous cows averaging 17 +/- 3 d in milk and 677 +/- 58 kg BW were assigned to one of four 4 x 4 Latin squares. One square contained ruminally cannulat...
