Maize silage for dairy cows
This paper reviews the use of maize silage in pastoral dairying systems in New Zealand. The evolution of dairying systems to make profitable use of maize silage and other supplementary feeds has occurred during the last decade in conjunction with an increased use of maize silage. When used within recommended levels of feeding, maize silage provides a low cost source of starch and fibre which co...
متن کاملDigestion, rumen fermentation and circulating concentrations of insulin, growth hormone and IGF-1 in steers fed diets based on different proportions of maize silage and grass silage.
Replacing grass silage with maize silage results in a fundamental change in the ratio of structural to non-structural carbohydrates with commensurate changes in rumen fermentation patterns and nutrient utilisation. This study investigated the effects of feeding four forage mixtures, namely grass silage (G); 67 g/100 g grass silage + 33 g/100 g maize silage (GGM); 67 g/100 g maize silage + 33/10...
متن کاملMethane production, digestion, ruminal fermentation, nitrogen balance, and milk production of cows fed corn silage- or barley silage-based diets.
This study evaluated the effects of replacing barley silage (BS) with corn silage (CS) in dairy cow diets on enteric CH4 emissions, ruminal fermentation characteristics, digestion, milk production, and N balance. Nine ruminally cannulated lactating cows were used in a replicated 3 × 3 Latin square design (32-d period) and fed (ad libitum) a total mixed ration (TMR; forage:concentrate ratio 60:4...
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 As du-odenal amino acids (AA) profiles vary according to diet (Le Henaff, unpublished), a trial was undertaken to test the lactational responses of dairy cows to methionine and lysine infusions with 3 other diets based on either maize silage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...
متن کاملRumen and blood variables in steers fed grass silage or whole-crop fodder beet silage
The objectives of this study were (i) to examine the effects on rumen and blood variables when grass silage (GS) was replaced with whole crop fodder beet silage (FBS) in the diet of beef cattle, and (ii) an abrupt change from GS to FBS. Six rumen-fistulated Friesian steers (initial bodyweight (BW) 416 kg, SD 43) were offered GS ad libitum for four weeks. The dry matter (DM) consumed daily by ea...
