A meta-analysis was performed to determine effects of DM content, kernel processing (PROC), and theoretical length cut (LOC) whole-plant corn silage (WPCS) on intake, digestion, lactation performance by dairy cows using a data set composed 106 treatment means from 24 peer-reviewed journal articles 2000 2011. Categories for content at silo removal PROC LOC harvest were ≤28% (VLDM), >28 32% (LDM), >32 36% (MDM), >36 40% (HDM), >40% (VHDM) DM; 1 3 or 4 8 mm roll clearance unprocessed; 0.48 0.64...
We evaluated the effects of supplementing bacterial direct-fed microbial (DFM) on performance, apparent total-tract digestibility, rumen fermentation, and immune parameters lactating dairy cows. One hundred fourteen multiparous Holstein cows (41 ± 7 DIM) were used in a randomized complete block design with an experiment comprising 14 d covariate (pre-experimental sample data collection) 91 experimental period. Cows blocked based energy-corrected milk (ECM) yield during period following...
ABSTRACT Two experiments were carried out to evaluate whether the addition of cellulase and/or xylanase enzymes interacts with regrowth age (RA) in mombasa grass ( Megathyrsus maximus ) and elephant cv. BRS Capiaçu Cenchrus purpureus alter nutritive composition fermentation profile. Mombasa plots mowed harvested at two different RAs (7‐ 11‐week for grass; 12‐ 16‐week grass). After forages chopped, they received one following additive treatments: no (control), enzyme (300 mg/kg DM; XYL), (1...
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect ensiling time and hybrid type on fermentation profile, N fractions, ruminal in vitro starch (ivSD; 7 h) NDF (ivNDFD; 30 digestibility whole-plant corn silage (WPCS). Samples from 8 hybrids [4 leafy (LFY) 4 brown midrib (BMR)] were collected at harvest, vacuum-sealed plastic bags, ensiled for 0, 30, 120 240 d. Starch DM concentration unaffected (P > 0.10) by or type. Ethanol pH greater = 0.01) LFY than BMR, but lactate acetate did not...
Ensiling corn for longer periods is a strategy used to increase rumen bacteria access starch. In fact, when ensiled insufficient periods, starch digestibility decreases, as evidenced by excreted This study investigates the effects of silage ensiling time on dairy cows through fecal analysis. The trial was conducted during spring 2013 and fall 2014 twenty herds located in state Paraná, southern Brazil. Total mixed ration (TMR), whole-plant (WPCS) samples were collected determination dry...
