Effect of Increasing Monensin Concentration on the Performance of Lactating Dairy Cows Fed Contemporary Diets
(2021-10-19)This paper discusses a recent study conducted to evaluate a dose titration of Rumensin on high producing lactating cattle. Four levels of Rumensin were fed and milk yield, milk composition, feed efficiency and overall ... -
Effect of Prepartum DCAD Strategy and Level of Dietary Calcium on Postpartum Calcium Status and Performance of Multiparous Holstein Cows
(2021-10-21)Periparturient hypocalcemia can be mitigated by reducing prepartum dietary DCAD; however, neither the extent of DCAD adjustment nor the level of dietary Ca fed with negative DCAD have been evaluated fully. This project ... -
