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...
