Adaptation strategies to manage summer forage shortages improve animal performance and better maintain milk and cheese quality in grass- versus corn-based dairy systems

Adaptation strategies to manage summer forage shortages improve animal performance and better maintain milk and cheese quality in grass- versus corn-based dairy systems

ABSTRACT: In semi-mountainous grass-based dairy systems, summer droughts frequently reduce grass availability, with implications for animal performance as well as milk and cheese quality. The objective of our study was to investigate the effect of a simulated summer forage shortage in a traditional...
