Extract

It is well established that the dairy cow experiences a period of dietary energy deficit in early lactation. With its high energy density, fat has tremendous potential as a dietary supplement at this time providing it is included in a form and at a level which does not interfere with rumen function. The paper presents results from a trial investigating dairy cow performance when fed concentrates containing either a liquid (LF) or a dried protected fat (DF).
