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 ...
In vitro fermentation of fodder beet root increases cumulative gas production of methane and carbon dioxide
(Elsevier, 2020-11)
The relationship between proportion of fodder beet root (FB: Beta vulgaris subsp. vulgaris L.) in a perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne) diet and gas production was investigated in vitro. Cumulative gas production and ...
Fodder beet to support early and late lactation milk production from pasture, is it worth the risk?
(Elsevier, 2021-02-01)
High yielding crops such as maize (Zea mays L.) and fodder beet (FB; Beta vulgaris L), are commonly used to extend lactation and increase animal productivity from pastoral dairy systems. Financial modelling to compare costs ...
Modelling feeding strategies to improve milk production, rumen function and discomfort of the early lactation dairy cow supplemented with fodder beet
(Cambridge University Press, 2020-05)
Feeding fodder beet (FB) to dairy cows in early lactation has recently been adopted by New Zealand dairy producers despite limited definition of feeding and grazing management practices that may prevent acute and sub-acute ...
Effects of N fertilisation, leaf appearance and time of day on N fractionation and chemical composition of Lolium perenne cultivars in spring
(Elsevier B.V., 2012-05-11)
New Zealand dairy systems are based on Lolium perenne pastures with low nitrogen use efficiency (NUE) and high urinary N losses. Modelling attempts to provide solutions to improve NUE are limited due to lack of data on ...
The potential of diverse pastures to reduce nitrogen leaching on New Zealand dairy farms
(CSIRO Publishing, 2014)
The largest contributor to nitrogen (N) leaching from ryegrass-clover pasture based dairy farms is the surplus feed N excreted as urinary N (UN) onto pastures. Pastures consisting of mixtures of ryegrass, herbs and legumes ...
The effect of feeding maize silage 1 h or 9 h before the herbage meal on dry matter intake, milk production, nitrogen partitioning and rumen function of lactating dairy cows
(CSIRO Publishing, 2016)
The study was conducted to evaluate the effect of the timing of feeding maize silage before a short herbage meal on dry matter (DM) intake, milk production, nitrogen (N) partitioning and rumen function of lactating dairy ...
Effect of time of maize silage supplementation on herbage intake, milk production, and nitrogen excretion of grazing dairy cows
(Elsevier on behalf of the American Dairy Science Association, 2016-09)
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of feeding maize silage at different times before a short grazing bout on dry matter (DM) intake, milk production, and N excretion of dairy cows. Thirty-six Friesian ...
