Effects of cutting height at harvest of fermented whole crop wheat and supplement type on milk production by dairy cows
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 20 November 2017
Extract
Previous work conducted with fermented whole crop wheat (WCW) silage has focussed on the effects that stage of maturity can have on nutritive value and milk production (Sinclair and Wilkinson 1998, Phipps et al. 1998). An alternative means of manipulating the nutritive value of WCW is to alter the relative proportion of straw to grain through altering cutting height at harvest. Additionally, the form of energy supplied by the concentrate also offers the potential of manipulating milk production in cows fed diets containing WCW. The objectives of the current experiment were therefore to determine the effect of two cutting heights at harvest and supplement type on the performance of dairy cows offered fermented WCW silage.
