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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 × ...
