In experiment 1 a duplicated 4 X 4 Latin square design was used in which 8 Finnish Ayrshire cows in mid-lactation were given 8 kg of oats and barley and grass/red clover silage ad libitum with or without (controls) commercial rapeseed meal (218 g/kg DM; RSM), crushed organic field pea (Pisum sati...

Foods produced from two cereal-legume cropping systems were evaluated in a 250-day growth trial using Friesian X Boran crossbred steers. Crops and crop combinations in cropping system 1 were oat-vetch (Avena sativa-Vicia dasycarpa; OV), wheat-trifolium (Triticum aestivum-Trifolium steudneri; WT),...

In a 4 X 4 Latin square design trial with 4-week periods, 20 Friesian cows with average milk yield 28.4 kg were given a diet of grass silage ad libitum plus concentrates based on barley, oats and barley fibre (250, 250 and 500 g/kg) at 8.5 kg/day (control) or with rapeseed oilmeal, dried distille...

The paper evaluates the effects of forage type and level of concentrate supplementation on forage intake, diet apparent digestibility, purine excretion and milk production. Twelve crossbred cows (Bos taurus X Bos indicus), in early lactation were allocated to the following six dietary treatments:...

Forty-five Friesian X Zebu crossbred calves (4 days old) were used to evaluate the effect of feeding different levels of whole milk and weaning at different ages. A total of 252 litre whole milk offered over 12 weeks was compared with a feeding level of 134 litre milk offered over 8 weeks. Water ...

An experiment was conducted with Friesian X Zebu (Boran) crossbred growing steers to compare an agro-industrial by-product, wheat middling cowpea hay, and wilted forages of leucaena and tagasaste as cattle feed. These feeds were fed daily to supplement the basal diet of native hay. A mineral supp...
