Extract

The investigation was designed to examine the use of draff ensiled with molassed sugar beet nuts (MSBN) as a concentrate replacer in silage based diets for dairy cows.

Twenty four British Friesian cows in early lactation were used in a changeover design experiment consisting of 3 x 3 week periods. The cows were allocated to the treatments listed below in such a way that one cow from each of the 12 pairs was allocated to proprietary concentrate treatments and the other to draff treatments for the duration of the experiment.
