Extract

Maize distillers grains (MDG) are a traceable and valuable energy and protein feed for dairy cows (Owen and Larson, 1991) but little is known about the ability of UK MDG to replace more conventional protein sources, particularly their effects on the supply of protein to the cow. The purpose of the present experiment was to examine the effects of replacing soyabean meal with MDG on digestion in the rumen and flow of protein to the duodenum of lactating dairy cows.
