The Value of Corn as a Hay Replacement for Cows

Effect of replacement of alfalfa hay with straw in iso-fibrous diets with different levels of cation-anion balance on dairy cows performance

The effects of partial replacement of corn silage on biochemical blood parameters in lactating primiparous dairy cows

The aim of this experiment was to investigate the effects of partial replacement of corn silage with long alfalfa hay and/or coarse chopped wheat straw on biochemical parameters in late lactating Holstein primiparous dairy cows. Twelve late lactating Holstein primiparous cows including four cows equipped with a rumen cannula, averaging 210 ± 20 days in milk and weighing 575 ± 50 kg were randoml...

اثر نسبتهای مختلف علوفه خشک یونجه و ذرت سیلو شده با دیواره سلولی و تعادل کاتیون - آنیون برابر، بر تغذیه و تولید گاوهای شیرده

To determine the best ratios of alfalfa hay to corn silage with similar dietary NDF, cation-anion balance, energy and protein content in the lactating dairy cows, eight mid-lactating Holstein dairy cows with average body weight of 570 kg, and milk yield of 22 kg/d with 3.5% fat, were assigned to each of four experimental diets with alfalfa hay to corn silage ratios of 100:0, 67:33, 33:67 and 0:...

The replacement value of corn silage with wild pistachio (Pistacia khinjuk) leaf in the diet of sheep and its effect on digestibility of fiber and protein

The aim of present experiment was to investigate the feeding value of wild pistachio leaf (khinjuk leaf, KL) for Arabi sheep. The digestibility and fermentation of diets containing different amounts of khinjuk (0, 5, 10, 15, 20, 25 and 30%) were measured. Then, the effect of presence of KL in the diet and its tannin content on the digestibility of alfalfa hay (Alfa), wheat straw (WS) and soybea...
