Effects Of Varying Rates Of Tallgrass Prairie Hay And Wet Corn Gluten Feed On Productivity Of Dairy Cows (2010), D.J. Rezac, K.N. Grigsby, Barry J. Bradford

Kansas Agricultural Experiment Station Research Reports

Productivity of lactating dairy cows was assessed when fed diets containing wet corn gluten feed (WCGF; Sweet Bran, Cargill Inc.) as the primary energy substrate and prairie hay as the primary source of physically effective neutral detergent fiber (peNDF) compared with a control diet. Treatment diets were: 1) a control diet with 18% alfalfa, 18% corn silage, 33% WCGF, and 15% forage NDF (CON); 2) a diet with 20% tallgrass prairie hay, 46% WCGF, and 13% forage NDF (TPH20); and 3) a diet with 14% tallgrass prairie hay, 56% WCGF, and 9% forage NDF (TPH14). Midway through period 2, the …
