Effect of Concentrate Feeding Level on Production of Holstein Cows Grazing Winter Annuals
A replicated randomized block trial was conducted to determine the response of Holstein cows rotationally grazing annual ryegrass-Crimson clover pasture to supplemental concentrate. Within each of 2 yr, 16 Holstein cows were assigned to one of four blocks by energy-corrected milk yield, days in milk, and parity. Treatments included one of four levels of concentrate based on the following grain ...
متن کاملGrazing System Effects on Enteric Methane Emissions from Cows in Southern Iowa Pastures
and Implications Forage mass and nutritional quality were measured in the total forage monthly from May through September and in live forage in the upper half of the sward in June and August and related to body weights, body condition scores and daily methane emissions in pastures grazed at a stocking rate of 1.98 cows per hectare by continuous, rotational or strip-stocking at a limited forage ...
متن کاملDoes diverse grazing behavior of suckler cows have an impact on predicted methane emissions?
A modeling study based on a dataset from a large-scale grazing study was used to identify the potential impact of grazing behavior and performance of diverse cow genotypes on predicted methane (CH4) emissions. Lactating cows grazing extensive seminatural grassland and heath vegetation were monitored with Global Positioning System collars and activity sensors. The diet selected by cows of 3 diff...
متن کاملAlcohol, volatile fatty acid, phenol, and methane emissions from dairy cows and fresh manure.
There are approximately 2.5 million dairy cows in California. Emission inventories list dairy cows and their manure as the major source of regional air pollutants, but data on their actual emissions remain sparse, particularly for smog-forming volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and greenhouse gases (GHGs). We report measurements of alcohols, volatile fatty acids, phenols, and methane (CH4) emitt...
متن کاملDirect measurements of methane emissions from grazing and feedlot cattle.
Methane (CH4) emissions from animals represent a significant contribution to anthropogenically produced radiatively active trace gases. Global and national CH4 budgets currently use predictive models based on emission data from laboratory experiments to estimate the magnitude of the animal source. This paper presents a method for measuring CH4 from animals under undisturbed field conditions and...
