Changes in rumen capacity of dairy cows during the periparturient period

Park, A.F.; DeFrain, J.M.; Titgemeyer, Evan C.; Ferdinand, E.E.; Cochran, R.C.; Schmidt, D.G.; Ives, S.E.; Nagaraja, Tiruvoor G.; Shirley, John E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-12-10)

Four-ruminally fistulated, multiparous, pregnant Holstein cows were studied to characterize ruminal adaptations during the transition from gestation to lactation. Cows were fed typical far-off and close-up diets, a late ...
Performance of holstein cows fed wet corn gluten feed or soyhull-steep liquor pellets during early lactation

Ferdinand, E.E.; Titgemeyer, Evan C.; Park, A.F.; DeFrain, J.M.; Shirley, John E. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-12-10)

Wet corn gluten feed and soyhull-steep liquor pellets tended to increase dry matter intake and milk yield. Combining condensed corn steep liquor with raw soybean hulls provides a convenient source of digestible fiber ...
Effects of a biological additive and sealing technique on the aerobic stability of whole-plant corn silage

Uriarte, M.E.; Bolson, K.K.; Pope, Ronald V. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-12-10)

The objectives of this whole-plant corn study were to determine the effects of a biological additive and sealing technique on yeast and mold populations; and to examine the relationship between the microbial and chemical ...
Effect of fan placement on milk production and dry matter intake of lactating dairy cows housed in a 4-row freestall barn

Smith, John F., 1962-; Harner, Joseph P.; DeFrain, S.E.; Brouk, Michael J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-12-10)

Heat stress reduces milk production, feed intake, and reproductive efficiency each summer in Kansas. Without heat abatement procedures, milk production may decline 20- 30% during the summer months. Research has shown that ...
Drinking water requirements for lactating dairy cows

Smith, John F., 1962-; Harner, Joseph P.; DeFrain, S.R.; Brouk, Michael J. (Kansas State University. Agricultural Experiment Station and Cooperative Extension Service, 2010-12-10)

A study to determine the amount and location of water consumption in dairy freestall barns located in northeastern Kansas was conducted during the summer of 2000. Three farms, two Holstein farms with either 2-row or 4-row ...
