Lactating grazing dairy cow performance:influence of chopped fresh maize supplementation

摘要：

Lactating dairy cows face the problem of low dry matter intake when grazing.In order to alleviate this problem, supplementing with maize silage has been suggested (Hernández‐Mendo and Leaver,2006) ; however,space and labor are needed to preserve,store and hand out the silage.Offering chopped fresh maize could be a better supplementation option,which even though a common practice in many Mexican dairy farms,there is a lack information aboutthe method.Therefore the aim of this study was to examine the production of dairy cows grazing alfalfa‐orchard with access to a chopped fresh maize supplement.
