Supplementation of spring pasture with harvested fodder beet bulb alters rumen fermentation and increases risk of subacute ruminal acidosis during early lactation
(MDPI, 2020-08)
In a cross-over design, eight rumen cannulated dairy cows were used to explore the industry-recommended method for dietary transition to fodder beet (FB: Beta vulgaris L.) on changes to rumen fermentation and pH, milk ...
Milk production and milk fatty acid composition of grazing dairy cows supplemented with fodder beet
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production (Inc), 2018)
A study was conducted to evaluate the effect of supplementing a perennial ryegrass-based diet with fodder beet on milk production and milk fatty acid (FA) composition, of dairy cows in early lactation. Sixty Friesian × ...
Plantain: It is not only the dietary content, but also how we graze it…
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production (Inc), 2018)
A mechanistic and dynamic model of a grazing ruminant, MINDY, was used to explore the effect of both the proportion dietary inclusion of plantain (PL) and its grazing management, compared with ryegrass (RG), on urinary N ...
In vitro fermentation characteristics of ryegrass-white clover sward containing different proportions of chicory
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 2017)
Chicory (Cichorum intybus) is a deep-rooted grazeable forage used to overcome production and nutritive value shortfalls of perennial ryegrass (Loliun perenne) and white clover (Trifolium repens) swards during summer drought ...
