Dry matter intake and body condition score change of dairy cows grazing fodder beet, kale and kale-oat forage systems in winter
(NZGA, 2014)
Crop dry matter (DM) yield, DM utilisation and body condition score (BCS) of dairy cows were measured over two winters on an irrigated stony, free-draining Balmoral soil for three crop grazing systems: fodder beet (FB); ...
Does mowing before grazing increase dry matter intake and milk yield?
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production, 2016)
Mowing pasture before allocation of herbage to dairy cows is one management strategy suggested to improve feed quality, increase herbage dry matter (DM) intake and increase milk solids yield. To test these hypotheses, ...
Milk production and urination behaviour of dairy cows grazing diverse and simple pastures
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production (Inc), 2015-07)
Milk production and urination patterns were measured for mid-lactation dairy cows grazing a simple perennial ryegrass-white clover pasture (n = 15) and a more diverse pasture (n = 15) containing herb (chicory and plantain) ...
Urine volume of non-lactating dairy cows in late gestation fed forage based diets in winter
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production (Inc), 2016)
Quantitative information on urine volume of dairy cows fed winter forages is required to accurately evaluate nitrate leaching risks on these diets. Thirty-two Friesian x Jersey non-lactating, pregnant dairy cows were fed ...
Milk production and urinary nitrogen excretion of dairy cows grazing perennial ryegrass-white clover and pure plantain pastures
(New Zealand Society of Animal Production (Inc), 2016)
Milk production and urinary nitrogen (N) concentration were measured in late lactation dairy cows grazing a perennial ryegrass-white clover pasture, pure plantain and an area that is comprised of 50% perennial ryegrass-white ...
Efficacy of near infrared spectroscopy to segregate raw milk from individual cows between herds for product innovation and traceability
(Codon Publications, 2020-07-08)
Cows with specialised characteristics and requirements can be aggregated into different herds for targeted nutritional management and to facilitate on-farm segregation of raw milk for the production of high-value niche ...
Integrating plantain (Plantago lanceolata L.) and Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) into New Zealand grazing dairy system: The effect on farm productivity, profitability, and nitrogen losses
(MDPI AG, 2021-02)
A two-year farm system study was conducted at Canterbury, New Zealand to evaluate the effects on farm productivity, profitability, and nitrogen (N) losses of integrating plantain (Plantago lanceolate L.) and Italian ryegrass ...
