Effects of Corn Silage Hybrids and Dietary Nonforage Fiber Sources on Productive Performance in Early Lactating Dairy Cows Fed High Forage Diets

Holt, Michael Shane 01 May 2010 (has links)
This experiment was conducted to determine the effects of corn silage hybrids and nonforage fiber sources (NFFS) in high forage diets formulated with high dietary proportion of alfalfa hay (AH) and corn silage (CS) on ruminal fermentation and productive performance by early lactating dairy cows. Eight multiparous Holstein cows (4 ruminally fistulated) averaging 36 ± 6.2 d in milk were used in a duplicated 4 × 4 Latin square design experiment with a 2 × 2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Cows were fed 1 of 4 dietary treatments during each of the four 21-d periods. Treatments were: 1) conventional corn silage (CCS)-based diet without NFFS, 2) CCS-based diet with NFFS, 3) brown midrib corn silage (BMRCS)-based diet without NFFS, and 4) BMRCS-based diet with NFFS. Diets were isonitrogenous and isocaloric. Sources of NFFS consisted of ground soyhulls and pelleted beet pulp to replace a portion of AH and CS in the diets. In vitro 30-h NDF degradability was greater for BRMCS than CCS (42.3 vs. 31.2%). Neither CS hybrids nor NFFS affected intake of DM and nutrients. Digestibility of N, NDF, and ADF tended to be greater for cows consuming CCS-based diets. Milk yield was not influenced by CS hybrids and NFFS. However, a tendency for an interaction between CS hybrids and NFFS occurred with increasing milk yield due to feeding NFFS with the BMRCS-based diets. Yields of milk fat and 3.5% FCM decreased when feeding the BMRCS-based diet, and there was a tendency for an interaction between CS hybrids and NFFS by further decreased milk fat concentration because of feeding NFFS with BMRCS-based diet. Although feed efficiency (milk/DM intake) was not affected by corn silage hybrids and NFFS, there was an interaction between CS hybrids and NFFS because feed efficiency increased when NFFS was fed only with BMRCS-based diet. Total VFA production and individual molar proportion were not affected by diets. Dietary treatments did not influence ruminal pH profiles except that duration (h/d) of pH < 5.8 decreased when NFFS was fed in CCS-based diet but not in a BMRCS-based diet, causing a tendency for an interaction between CS hybrids and NFFS. Overall measurements in our study reveal that high forage NDF concentration (20% DM on average) may eliminate potentially positive effects of BMRCS. In the high forage diets, NFFS exerted limited effects on productive performance when they replaced AH and CS. Although the high quality AH provided adequate NDF (38.3% DM) for optimal rumen fermentative function, the low NDF concentration of the AH and the overall forage particle size reduced physically effective fiber and milk fat concentration.

Substituição do milho em grãos por subprodutos da agroindústria na ração de vacas leiteiras em confinamento / Substitution of Byproducts for Corn Grain in Confined Lactating Cows Diets

Pedroso, Alexandre Mendonça 06 September 2006 (has links)
Com o intuito de avaliar a substituição do milho em grãos por alimentos alternativos em rações de vacas em lactação, foram conduzidos três experimentos iguais, em que a única diferença foi o alimento testado: No experimento 1 avaliou-se a inclusão do farelo de glúten de milho 21 (FGM-21) em três níveis (0, 10 e 20% da MS) em substituição ao milho moído das rações. A ingestão diária de MS (21,19 kg/an), a produção de leite (24,88 kg/an), a produção de leite corrigido para 3,5% de gordura (25,34 kg/an), o teor de gordura (3,62%), e o teor de sólidos totais (11,86%) não foram afetados pelos tratamentos (P>0,05). A inclusão do FGM-21 afetou os teores de proteína e lactose do leite e a concentração de nitrogênio uréico do leite (P>0,05). No experimento 2 avaliou-se a inclusão da casca de soja (CS) em três níveis (0, 10 e 20% da MS) em substituição ao milho moído das rações. A inclusão da CS não afetou o consumo de matéria seca (22,84 kg/d), nem a produção de leite (28,33 kg/d) e produção de leite corrigido para gordura (28,48 kd/d) (P>0,05). No entanto a inclusão do subproduto aumentou linearmente a produção total de gordura (P<0,05) e a concentração de nitrogênio uréico (P<0,01) no leite. No experimento 3 avaliou-se a inclusão do farelo de trigo (FT) em três níveis (0, 10 e 20% da MS) em substituição ao milho moído das rações. A inclusão do FT reduziu (P<0,05) o consumo de matéria seca (média de 22,20 kg/d) e a produção de leite (P<0,01) (média de 31,65 kg/d), a produção de leite corrigido para 3,5% de gordura (média de 27,44 kg/d), a produção de proteína, gordura e lactose do leite (P<0,05), e consequentemente, a produção de sólidos totais do leite (P<0,05). No entanto os teores dos componentes do leite não foram afetados pelos tratamentos. A inclusão do subproduto causou aumento no teor de nitrogênio uréico no leite (P<0,01). / Four identical experiments were conducted to evaluate the substitution of some byproducts for corn grain in confined lactating cows diets. The only source of variation among them was the byproduct tested. In trial 1 the inclusion of three doses of corn gluten feed (FGM-21) (0, 10 and 20% DM) in substitution for ground corn was evaluated. Treatments did not affect (P>0.10) daily dry matter intake (DMI) (21.19 kg/cow), milk yield (24.88 kg/cow), 3,5% fat corrected milk yield (FCM) (25.34 kg/cow), milk fat content (3.62%), and milk total solids (11.86%). Inclusion of corn gluten feed affected milk protein, lactose and urea concentrations (P<0.05). In trial 2 the inclusion of three doses of soy hulls (0, 10 and 20% DM) in substitution for ground corn was evaluated. Inclusion of soy hulls had no effect on daily dry matter intake (DMI) (22.84 kg/d), milk yield (28.33 kg/d) or fat corrected milk (FCM) yield (28.48 kd/d) (P>0.05). However, inclusion of CS linearly increased total milk fat yield (P<0,05) and linearly decreased MUN (P<0,01). In trial 3 the inclusion of three doses of wheat middlings (FT) (0, 10 and 20% DM) in substitution for ground corn was evaluated. Inclusion of FT reduced (P<0,05) dry matter intake (22.20 kg/d average) and milk yield (P<0,01) (31.65 kg/d average), FCM yield (27.44 kg/d average), total milk fat, protein and lactose, and milk total solids (P<0,05). Milk components concentration was not affected by treatments. Inclusion of the byproduct increased MUN concentration (P<0,01).
