“…The advantages of TMR feeding are to stabilise rumen function and to avoid self-selection by animals. 2 In addition, the labours incurred in mixing prior to feeding rations are avoidable when the TMR silage is used. Unpalatable by-products may be incorporated into rations, because they can improve odour and flavour through fermentation during ensiling.…”

“…For lactating dairy cows, various grouping strategies have been proposed (Coppock et al, 1981;McGilliard et al, 1983;Nocek et al, 1985;Schuker et al, 1988;Pecsok et al, 1992;Williams and Oltenacu, 1992;Spahr et al, 1993). Williams and Oltenacu (1992) found that the most effective grouping strategy was based on required nutrient density by kg of dry matter intake whereas an approach similar to this study was the least effective one.…”

The aim of this study was to develop an efficient strategy for ration formulation for milking ewes of the Chios breed in Greece. The strategy involved two and three groupings according to production level and challenge feeding using lead factors. Lead factors, that adjust upwards the average production of a flock or a group of ewes, were calculated for the 83rd and the 90th percentile, using 49,237 milk test-day records from 549 flock-test-days, referring to 64 flocks and 97 complete lactations. Lead factors were 1.25 for the single-group, 1.14 and 1.17 for the two-group, and 1.11, 1.07 and 1.15 for the three-group strategy for the 83rd percentile. Regarding the 90th percentile, these were: 1.33 for the single-group, 1.18 and 1.19 for the two-group, and 1.15, 1.09 and 1.16 for the three-group strategy. Analysis of variance was used to assess the influence of several effects on lead factors. Flock-year and mean and standard deviation milk yield were significant (P b 0.05) in nearly all cases, leading to calculation of different lead factors for high (N 250 kg of milk/ewe/year) and low (b250 kg of milk/ewe/year) producing flocks. Higher producing flocks were associated with somewhat lower than average lead factors, while the opposite was true for lower producing flocks. In order to allow the sufficient expression of the genetic potential of the best ewes and accurately estimate their genetic value under Greek conditions, the 90th percentile strategy can be adopted for the higher producing groups and the 83rd for the lower ones.

“…In the nutrition of dairy cows, is currently mostly used total (complex) mixed ration (TMR), which improves the digestibility of ration (Amaral-Phillips, Bicudo, Turner, 2002, 2010). Total mixed rations are designed as a homogeneous mixture to help minimize the selective consumption of individual feed components by dairy cattle (Coppock et al, 1981). When cows are provided a total mixed ration (TMR) most feeding occurs soon after the delivery of fresh food (DeVries and von Keyserlingk, 2005), likely reflecting the higher nutritional value of the fresh TMR (DeVries et al, 2005 and Hosseinkhani et al, 2008).…”
