Other claims from this paper (7)
- Intervention effect Leafy and conventional corn silage hybrids produced no milk production differences.
- Intervention effect The high-forage diet with brown-midrib corn silage lowered milk yield.
- Intervention effect The high-forage diet with brown-midrib corn silage raised milk fat percentage and yield.
- Intervention effect Brown-midrib corn silage in a high-forage diet increased milk fat percentage and yield compared with conventional silage in a normal-forage diet.
- Intervention effect Milk production did not differ between corn silage hybrids in the third trial.
- Intervention effect Increased concentrate supplementation increased dry matter intake and milk production.
- Intervention effect Feeding leafy or low-fiber corn silage hybrids gave minimal benefits.
