Differentiating Affects of Effective Fiber Sources on Performance of Lactating Dairy Cows
Abstract: The aim for this research was to determine if corn stover and straw can be efficiently added to lactating dairy cow diets as physically effective fiber sources. A 5x5 Latin square design was used with 5 multiparous rumen cannulated Holstein cows. The treatments were: 1) CS; corn silage as sole forage source (44.1% forage), 2) ALF; corn silage and 11.5% alfalfa hay (45.5% forage), 3) STW-5; corn silage and 5% wheat straw (39% forage), 4) STW-10; corn silage and 10% straw (46.2% forage), and 5) STV; corn silage and 5.5% corn stover (39.5% forage). The dry matter intake (DMI) was lowest for STW-10 (P
