Extract

Cow genetics, forage supply and quality, and feeding systems are relatively fixed in the short term. Therefore, it is important to establish the effect on intake and performance of a range of nutritional strategies. The purpose of the current study was to determine the effects on milk production and composition of nutritional strategies designed to increase forage intake by altering the composition of the concentrate supplement, and reducing the level of concentrate feeding.
