Methane, both enteric and from manure management, is the most important greenhouse gas
from ruminant livestock, and its mitigation can deliver substantial decreases in the carbon …

Evaluation of feed efficiency (FE; calculated as energy-corrected milk yield/dry matter intake)
and milk nitrogen efficiency (MNE; calculated as milk N yield/N intake) is needed to help …

Production of high-quality grass-based silages by microbial-mediated anaerobic
fermentation is an effective strategy in livestock farms. In the present study, an ensiling …

Accurate measurements of concentration and ruminal degradability of corn silage starch is
necessary for formulation of diets that meet the energy requirements of dairy cows. Five corn …

ABSTRACT Eight lactating Italian Friesian cows were housed in individual respiration
chambers in a repeated Latin square design to determine their dry matter intake (DMI) and …

The use of triticale (X Triticosecale Wittmack) in dairy-crop** systems has expanded
greatly in recent years, partly to improve land stewardship by providing winter ground cover …

This study investigated the effects of feeding an amylase-enabled corn silage (ACS) on the
performance and enteric gas emissions in lactating dairy cows. Following a 2-wk covariate …

Double crop** and increasing crop diversity could improve dairy farm economic and
environmental sustainability. In this experiment, corn silage was partially replaced with 2 …

Accurate analysis of degradability of silage neutral detergent fiber (NDF) is important for diet
formulation and to predict lactational performance of dairy cows. In this study, 5 corn silage …

Cereal forages, such as triticale forage, progressively gain interest as alternative crop for
maize. The main study objective was to investigate the variation in potential feeding value of …
