Extract

The response of grazing dairy cows to level of concentrate supplementation and to the concentration of protein in the supplement remains poorly defined. The response is of particular importance in view of the high costs associated with the concentrate feedstuffs, especially protein ingredients. The current study was designed to examine the response of grazing dairy cows to level of concentrate supplementation and to level of protein in the concentrate.
