Abstract:. 2006. Effect of maceration of bromegrass-alfalfa silage on ruminal degradability and performance of lactating dairy cows. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 86: 311-315. Maceration of bromegrass-alfalfa sward increased effective ruminal degradability of dry matter, neutral detergent fibre, and gross energy, but decreased the degradability of protein.Despite improvement in ruminal degradation kinetics, inclusion of the macerated silage (43% of total mixed ration dry matter) between weeks 7 and 15 of lactation had limited eff… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
