Abstract:: Twenty-six Holstein and 18 Jersey multiparous cows in a randomized block design were assigned by calving date and breed to a non-anionic prepartum diet (CTRL) or a treatment diet containing a commercial anionic salt supplement (Animate®). Control and treatment diets were formulated to a dietary anion-cation difference (DCAD) of 21.3...

Abstract:: Our objectives were to determine if dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) and source of anions influence periparturient feed intake and milk production, and to characterize feeding behavior of dairy cattle during the transition period. Diets differed in DCAD (cationic or anionic) and anionic supplement (BioChlor®, Fermenten®, or anionic salts), and were...

Creator:: Buyserie, Annette C.
Abstract:: Ruminal microorganisms require nitrogen and energy for microbial crude protein (MCP) synthesis. High-quality grass provides an excess of readily available proteins relative to available carbohydrates which reduces the conversion efficiency of grass protein to MCP. Nonstructural carbohydrates (NSC) are the primary source of readily available energy. Objectives of trial 1...

Abstract:: A field study was conducted to assess phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) concentrations of both lactating and dry cow diets on Oregon's dairies. Thirty-seven dairy farms, located in western Oregon, were grouped according to geographic region, valley (V) or coast (C), and herd size, small (S) or large (L). Farms...
