Effect of feeding mechanically processed alfalfa silage on production performance of mid-lactation dairy cows

Effect of feeding mechanically processed alfalfa silage on production performance of mid-lactation dairy cows

ABSTRACT: Improving the digestibility and utilization of feedstuffs through processing methods may result in improved production and efficiency of dairy cattle. Our objective was to determine the effect of an intensive mechanical processing technique applied to wilted alfalfa before ensiling on dair...
