Effects Of A Proteolytic Feed Enzyme On Intake, Digestion, Ruminal Fermentation, And Milk Production, Jong-Su Eun, K. A. Beauchemin
Effects Of A Proteolytic Feed Enzyme On Intake, Digestion, Ruminal Fermentation, And Milk Production, Jong-Su Eun, K. A. Beauchemin
Animal, Dairy, and Veterinary Science Faculty Publications
The effects of exogenous proteolytic enzyme (EPE) on intake, digestibility, ruminal fermentation, and lactational performance were determined using 8 lactating Holstein cows in a double 4 ×4 Latin square experiment with a 2 ×2 factorial arrangement of treatments. Diets based on barley silage and alfalfa hay as the forage sources were formulated to maintain different forage to concentrate ratios [60:40 vs. 34:66, dry matter (DM) basis]. Four dietary treatments were tested: high forage (HF) without EPE (HF−EPE), HF with EPE (HF+EPE), low forage (LF) without EPE (LF–EPE), and LF with EPE (LF+EPE). The EPE, which contained proteolytic activity but negligible …

Feeding Milking Shorthorn Steers, M. L. Baker, V. H. Arthaud, C. H. Adams
Feeding Milking Shorthorn Steers, M. L. Baker, V. H. Arthaud, C. H. Adams
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
The objectives of the feeding work were to provide the producer with feed-lot data and where possible with slaughter data for Milking Shorthorn steers. As a definite breeding research program with the Milking Shorthorn herd was planned, it also was believed that information about the beef-making qualities of the steers should be of equal importance with milk and butterfat production records.
Selection, Breeding, Methods Means More Milk, H. P. Davis
Selection, Breeding, Methods Means More Milk, H. P. Davis
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Milk good cows. It pays if you know how. Good dairy cows will always make money. Scrub, poor, or common cows never bring a good profit and usually cause a loss. Why waste feed and labor on inefficient producers, the kind that never make a satisfactory profit? Join a cow testing association. Let the tester keep books on your cows and let the milk scale and the milk sheet point out the money makers. Improvement comes only from selection and breeding.
Dairy Calf Care And Management, H. P. Davis, R. F. Morgan
Dairy Calf Care And Management, H. P. Davis, R. F. Morgan
Nebraska Agricultural Experiment Station: Historical Circulars
Calf raising begins before the calf is born. A cow that is healthy and in good physical condition will, in all probability, drop a strong, vigorous calf. The feeding and care of the cow before calving is therefore of the greatest importance for the future development of the calf.
Feeding The Dairy Cow, H. P. Davis
Feeding The Dairy Cow, H. P. Davis

Cows produce milk from feed and water only. Therefore feed in proper quantity and quality is usually the limiting factor governing a cow's production up to the limit of her capacity.
