Effects of brown midrib 3 mutation in corn silage on productivity of dairy cows fed two concentrations of dietary neutral detergent fiber: 1. Feeding behavior and nutrient utilization.

Abstract excerpt

The effects of digestibility of corn silage neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and dietary NDF content on feeding behavior, dry matter intake (DMI), and energy utilization were evaluated with eight multiparous high producing dairy cows in a duplicated 4 x 4 Latin square design with 21-d periods. Experimental diets contained corn silage from a brown midrib (bm3) hybrid or its isogenic normal control at two...
