Other claims from this paper (13)
- Intervention effect Plasma glucose, insulin and haptoglobin concentrations were unaffected by corn silage or starch treatment.
- Intervention effect Serum amyloid A concentration was unaffected by corn silage or starch treatment.
- Intervention effect Fecal pH was greater for cows fed ENO corn silage than CON.
- Intervention effect Starch digestibility was greater for ENO than CON in week 1; differences were smaller by week 6.
- Intervention effect The HI starch diet depressed neutral detergent fiber digestibility compared with LO.
- Intervention effect Dry matter intake was not affected by corn silage type.
- Intervention effect By week 6, cows fed the HI starch diet had 1.8 kg/d lower dry matter intake than LO cows.
- Intervention effect Dry matter intake was similar for HI and LO starch diets in week 1.
- Intervention effect Milk yield was 1.7 ± 0.94 kg/d greater for the HI than the LO starch diet.
- Intervention effect Energy-corrected milk was 1.3 ± 0.70 kg/d greater for the HI than the LO starch diet.
- Intervention effect Milk protein yield was 65 ± 27 g/d greater for the HI than the LO starch diet.
- Intervention effect ENO corn silage did not affect milk yield or component yields, although it increased digestibility.
- Intervention effect Increasing dietary starch improved feed efficiency.
