Genetic variation of maize silage ingestibility in dairy cattle

Abstract: -During a three-year experiment, twelve registered or experimental maize hybrids were investigated for their ingestibility in dairy cows. Their digestibility values in sheep were also available from simultaneous experiments. Significant intake differences were observed between maize hybrids, ranging from 14.4 to 17.9 kg·cow -1 ·day -1 . The highest intake was observed for the bm3 hybrid. Among normal hybrids, DK265 had a higher ingestibility than other hybrids. However, two recently registered hybrids and an e… Show more

“…The range was large similarly to digestibility determinants from 5.31 to 7.24 MJ kg -1 DM. This is comparable with Barrière et al (2003) who measured the content of NEL in the range 5.82-6.95 MJ kg -1 DM. Prediction of NEL from datasets of chemical parameters (Petrikovič et al, 2000) is often more attributed to DM content than to reality of in vivo degradability of organic nutrients (Vencl, 1990).…”

“…Degradation of hemicelluloses and partially lignin during extraction is the major drawback of crude fibre analysis (Huhtanen et al, 2006). NDF content presented cell walls of whole plant maize silage consisted of structural polysaccharides and lignins observed in content 384.1-414.6 g kg -1 DM (Argilier et al, 1998) and 357.0-451.0 g kg -1 DM (Barrière et al, 2003) of maize hybrids harvested at DM 300 g kg -1 . This fraction was markedly variable due to other than environmental factors as the differences in DINAG among tested hybrids are huge.…”

“…This decrease in cell wall digestibility resulted in a concomitant decrease in a silage energy value of nearly 0.7 MJ/kg silage DM in dairy cow diets (Barrière et al, 2003a). This decrease in cell wall digestibility resulted in a concomitant decrease in a silage energy value of nearly 0.7 MJ/kg silage DM in dairy cow diets (Barrière et al, 2003a).…”

“…50, SEPTEMBER-OCTOBER 2010 2002 met this criterion. This decrease in cell wall digestibility resulted in a concomitant decrease in a silage energy value of nearly 0.7 MJ/kg silage DM in dairy cow diets (Barrière et al, 2003a). This resulted in the need for supplemental feed, corresponding to nearly 1 kg of grain maize per cow per day.…”

“…Besides the physical form of maize kernels, there are differences in rumen digestibility due to maize cultivars. Variation in digestibility among cultivars is mostly related to degradation of plant cell wall and their breakableness susceptibility (Barriere et al, 2003(Barriere et al, , 2004.…”
