Types of Hay I have to say that I always thought hay was just tall grass. Not sure when I realized that there were different types of hay but I do remember I was a bit surprised to find out how much I had oversimplified things. Oh, and by types of hay, I don’t just mean it ...
Dairy-cowsParticle-sizeSampling siteIngestaThe influence of fibre content of hay (H) and concentrate level (C) on local differences in the composition of ruminal digesta (ratio of solid to fluid digesta, DM, NDF, ADF and ADL content), particle size (MPL), specific gravity (SG) and ...
1 tended to give higher MRTtot than the hay and grass diets in Exp. 2 but the decrease in retention time with intake was also more marked. A very small effect of intake on MRTint and MRTpr, was seen in both experiments. Lag as a proportion of MRT for individual parts of the ...
The Nutritive Value of Alfalfa Hay. I. Cystine as a supplement to an all Alfalfa Hay Ration for Milk Production Twelve cows which had been depleted of their reserve milk-producing factor (s) on an all-alfalfa hay ration were used in 15 trials to study the effect on m... CF Huffman,CW...
Based on Hay et al. (2003). Statistical analysis The experimental data were statistically analysed using the software Statistical Product and Service Solutions (SPSS 23.0; IBM Institute Inc., Chicago, IL, USA). Before statistical analysis, all data were tested for normal distribution with the one...
Typically, dairy herds are fed total mixed rations (TMR) and cows with greater milk production have greater dry matter intake (DMI) [3]. In TMRs for dairy cattle, carbohydrates constitute nearly 70% of the dietary dry matter (DM) and provide the major energy source for rumen microbes [4...
We did not analyze the hay for its limonene content; however, the ration consumed by the animals was the same for all groups and this “basal level” of dietary limonene remained constant during all test periods of the trial. Thus, the systematic error affected all experimental conditions ...
Cows received daily doses of an antibiotic mixture (1 g neomycin and .125 g bacitracin) or saline in the duodenum. Prairie hay dry matter (DM) intake increased (P less than .05) linearly with SBM supplementation, being 25 and 40% greater for L and H than for C, respectively. Ruminal...
Type of milk:Cow or water buffalo. Aging:None. Tasting Notes:Mozzarella is a fresh, pulled-curd cheese made from the milk of water buffalo (for mozzarella di bufala) or cows (for mozzarella fior di latte). The curds are heated in warm water and stretched by hand before being rolled into...
The present study examined the effects of age at group housing and age at incremental hay supplementation in calf starters from 7.5 to 15% (dry matter, DM) and their interaction on growth performance, behavior, health of dairy calves, and development of heifers through first breeding. A total...
