Extract

This experiment was designed to evaluate whether milk yields could be maintained while reducing concentrate feed intake, and therefore placing greater reliance on forage intake, and including sugar beet pulp as a source of highly digestible but non-starchy concentrate, and fish meal as a source of high quality, undegraded dietary protein. It was undertaken on a commercial farm as the continuation of similar experiments on two other commercial farms reported earlier (Pike et al 1984).
