C.J. Ziemer; A.J. Heinrichs; C.J. Canale; et al. Journal of Dairy Science 1990. doi:10.3168/jds.s0022-0302(90)78926-6
Other claims from this paper (6)
- Intervention effect Drying agent treatment had a greater effect on initial nutrient composition than no treatment for all fractions of second-cutting alfalfa.
- Intervention effect In situ OM disappearance was not affected by drying agent treatment in the first cutting for any fraction.
- Intervention effect Rate of OM and ADF disappearance decreased for treated second-cutting leaves and stems compared with untreated samples.
- Intervention effect Lag time for NDF disappearance increased in second-cutting leaves and stems treated with the drying agent.
- Intervention effect Potentially digestible ADF and lag time increased in second-cutting stem.
- Intervention effect Lag time decreased for the whole plant.
