Influence of protein level of supplement on diet selection by dairy cows given a choice of grass or maize silages, and on intake of forages when offered separately
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2017
Extract
In a previous study of forage choice (Syed and Leaver, 2000), cows selected a high proportion of grass relative to maize silage (0.87:0.13). Milk production level of cows and protein level in supplement were not influential in the proportion of forage selected. An understanding of forage preferences by cows should lead to the production of forages with improved intake characteristics. This experiment examined how intake of grass and maize silages offered as a choice compared with intake when offered separately with low or high protein supplements.
