Effects of brown midrib 3 mutation in corn silage on productivity of dairy cows fed two concentrations of dietary neutral detergent fiber: 2. Chewing activities.

Abstract excerpt

The effects of digestibility of corn silage neutral detergent fiber (NDF) and dietary NDF content on chewing activities 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 concentrations of dietary NDF (29 and 38%). The NDF...
