Effect Of Variation In The Quality Of Forage Maize Silage In Ireland On Forage Intake And On Milk Production Of Dairy Cows, J J. Fitzgeald
Effect Of Variation In The Quality Of Forage Maize Silage In Ireland On Forage Intake And On Milk Production Of Dairy Cows, J J. Fitzgeald
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
In three experiments maize silages which varied in quality, i.e. starch content and dry matter digestibility (DMD) replaced a high proportion (60-67%) of grass silage in the diet of cows in early or mid-lactation. In each experiment the forages were supplemented with concentrates (4 or 6 kg/cow/day). Replacing high quality grass silages (DMD 750 g/kg) with high quality maize silages (starch 219 or 355 g/kg DM, DMD 694 or 754 g/kg) significantly increased forage intake, milk yield, milk protein concentration and the yield of fat and protein (Experiments 1 and 3). Replacing grass silage with a low starch maize silage …

Foliar Supplementation Of Minerals To Prevent Calcium And Magnesium Deficiencies In Dairy Cows, G F. Wilson, W J. Courtney
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
The objectives of this study were to examine the possibility of reducing the incidence of calcium and magnesium deficiencies in cows by feeding anionic salts and by manipulating the mineral concentrations in pastures with foliar sprays during late pregnancy. Cows provided with a mineral supplement of magnesium chloride and ammonium sulphate before calving produced more milk solids and experienced less health problems. The foliar application of anionic salts, with and without sodium chloride, altered the cation balance in pastures grown on 6 different soils.

Potassium Accumulation In Perennial Cool-Season Grass Forage, J H. Cherney, D.J R. Cherney
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
Perennial grasses are well adapted to the northern U.S.A. and Canada, but the potassium (K) content of grass forage is a major concern in regard to dairy cattle nutrition. Our goal was to identify factors influencing potassium content of grasses, so that a grass management strategy for controlling potassium content could be formulated. Separate experiments were conducted with several perennial coolseason grass species and varieties. Nitrogen fertilization and harvest management also were evaluated. Aside from the obvious positive effect on K concentration caused by commercial K fertilizer or by animal manure application, K concentration was influenced by grass species, grass …
Influence Of Different Cutting Frequencies And Fertilization On Grass Silage Quality, U Wyss, R Vogel
Influence Of Different Cutting Frequencies And Fertilization On Grass Silage Quality, U Wyss, R Vogel
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
The influence of different cutting frequencies and fertilization on dry matter yield, botanical composition, nutrient concentration and fermentation quality of grass silage was investigated. Altogether four treatments were compared; two 5-cut-treatnents with two different fertilizer levels, one 3-cut-treatment with fertilizer and one 2-cuttreatment without fertilizer. In the 5-cut-treatments the double fertilizer amount produced a 10% higher dry matter yield and also a higher proportion of grasses. The fermentation quality of these silages was mostly good, especially in autumn when the high nitrate content improved the quality. The 3- cut and 2-cut-variants showed a higher grass proportion, a higher crude fibre …
Seasonal Changes In Forage Quality Of C3 Grasses On Sagebrush Grassland, H F. Mayland, G E. Shewmaker
Seasonal Changes In Forage Quality Of C3 Grasses On Sagebrush Grassland, H F. Mayland, G E. Shewmaker
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
Annual and perennial grasses growing in the semiarid, west-central North American continent mature by early to midsummer. Forage mineral concentrations in these C-3 grasses decrease curvilinearly as the season advances from day of year (DOY) 75 to 300. Total digestible dry matter (TDDM) and digestible cell wall (DCW) decrease linearly with DOY while neutral detergent fiber (NDF) increases curvilinearly. By midsummer; energy, N, P, and Zn usually become deficient for ruminant nutrition.

Use Of Nir To Estimate Nitrogen Degradability Of Forage, R Agneeseens, P Dardenne, Ph Lecomte
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
Near infra red spectrometry (NIRS) is commonly used to characterise animal feeds at the level of their intrinsic composition (dry matter, protein, fat, fiber) as well of their digestibility (Dardenne et al.,1991). The use of new systems in the evaluation of the protein value has induced the necessity to determine parameters such as the theoretical ruminal degradability of nitrogen (DT).
The definition of this criterion necessitates the implementation of the nylon bag technique which is time consuming and costly and is reserved to reference laboratories. An alternative to this technique, based on an enzymatic hydrolysis of the proteinic content, has …
Energetic Feed Value Of Grassland Products In Ruminants, A Chudy
Energetic Feed Value Of Grassland Products In Ruminants, A Chudy
IGC Proceedings (1993-2023)
A method for calculating the energetic feed value, based on the digestible nutrients and on the relations of the utilisation of the energy of the nutrients (carbohydrates = 100) for ATP syntheses is described. This relative scale is a nominal feed value (NFV). It characterises the ATP potential of the feedstuffs and is therefore equivalent to the efficiency of utilisation of the feed energy in the catabolic metabolism (non-thermal maintenance, muscular work (movement)) and energy costs for syntheses as well as the productive performance as energy retention in animal products. Therefore this scale secures a precise precognition of the animal …

Indium-based amorphous metal oxides (AMOs) are important materials that enable a wide range of electronic and optoelectronic applications. The metal cations that substitute for In are known to effectively tune the material properties as well as to retain the desirable amorphous state when subjected to high operating temperatures. While much attention focuses on property tuning, there is less focus on those fundamental factors that enhance thermal stability. Hence, in this paper, we employ in situ X-ray scattering and ab initio molecular dynamics (MD) to systematically study the effects of secondary cations on the crystallization process. A series of amorphous (In …
