We conducted a study evaluating the growth performance and total tract nutrient digestion of heifers fed diets high in distillers dried grains with solubles (DDGS) with different forage particle size. Particle size is important for rumen fermentation and rumination. Large forage particles help stimulate rumination which aids in buffering with saliva. Buffering may be important when considering feeding DDGS because it is considered an acidic feedstuff with a pH...

1. INTRODUCTION Pressed sugar beet pulp (PBP) silage represents a highly nutritive component for dairy cow rations in many European countries, but the hygienic quality often renders the silages produced from it unfit for feeding due to fungal spoilage. For this reason, farmers are hesitant to use this valuable dietary component in summer periods when the susceptibility to aerobic deterioration is most obvious....

Introduction Traditionally, ensiling was used to preserve forage material for feeding animals after the cropping seasons. Recently, this method has a potential to store the large quantities of biomass feed stocks to produce energy through lignocellulosic ethanol production (Sipos et al., 2009). Similarly, there is a growing interest in sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor) in recent years because it has the potential to be used...

Introduction Sweet sorghum (Sorghum bicolor var. saccharatum) is a C4 plant with high photosynthetic activity, resistant to drought and salinity (Almodares et al., 2008), contains a high level of energy (Negro et al., 1999) and can be cultivated in most tropical areas. Also, sweet sorghum stem juice can be used for production of ethanol as a bio fuel (Almodares and Hadi, 2009). There has been a growing tendency to produce...

Introduction There continues to be a lot of interest in corn silage harvested with a self-propelled forage harvester (SPFH) equipped with an aftermarket processor having cross-grooved processing rolls set for 2- to 3-mm roll gap and greater roll speed differential than has typically been used (32% versus 21%). Also, the developer of this processor recommends that the SPFH be set for a longer theoretical length of cut...

Grain producers are often looking for ways to increase revenues from their land. In the Upper Plains it might not be economical, or even practical, to plant another grain crop during the growing year; however, it may be in the producer’s interest to consider a cover crop. Cover crops provide multiple benefits to the producer and the environment. The primary benefit is additional forage production from the growth of the cover crop which can be used by the...

As a dairy farmer consider the following questions: How high is your herd performance? How high is the milk yield from basic fodder? And how high are your production costs per liter of milk (full cost calculation)? Quite possibly you will come to the conclusion that you could well increase your herd performance through your own basic fodder. High fodder efficiency corresponds with high milk yields. You should aim to produce over 60% of your milk production from...

1. Potential Did you know how high the energy density of your grass patches is or which kinds of grasses and weeds grow there? Is grass mixture really decisive for the production of high quality grass silage? If need be consult the expert opinion of grass specialists and have them assess the state of your cultivated patches. Also, routinely conduct plant appraisals. Additionally, the examination of the Nmin content can also be useful for...

A new concept in enzyme technology has allowed farmers to increase the amount of energy and protein they get from home grown forages. The new enzymes acting together, separate the energy containing cellulose from the lignin to make the cellulose more available to bacteria for fermentation. For some years it has been apparent that enzymes could play an important part in the improvement of forages but only now with the event...
