- Feeding & Selection High Generic Merit Cows15 January 10
A study where we investigated the relationships between milk production, metabolic measurements and fertility until 20 weeks post-calving in lactation dairy cows. - Feeding Stratagies to Maximise DM Intake15 January 10
A study from 3 weeks pre-calving to 16 weeks post calving, 60 high
yielding Holstein cows, were fed a high or low density diet during the dry period. - Homegrown Soya, Lupins and Naked Oats15 January 10
The study looks at how farmers on non-aided land should consider grass and clover forages if their aim is more dietary protein. - Hyperimmune Colostrum-Prevention Rotavirus15 January 10
In this experiment, the efficacy of hyperimmune colostrum from cows vaccinated against rotavirus, as a single feed, in preventing rotavirus infections in calves was tested - Improving Milk Protein with Wheat Starch15 January 10
Improving milk protein content through a better understanding of the characteristics of wheat starch. - 9000 litres from Home Grown Protein Sources14 January 10
In a 12 week study, 60 high yielding Holstein cows in early lactation, were fed complete diets based on high quality grass silage which contained one of five different combinations of protein sources. - Maize Additives15 January 10
An evaluation of additive for maize silage harvested at four stages of maturity. - Monitoring & Forcasting Herbage Growth15 January 10
This study looks at how herbage growth forecasts should be used on a regular basis to plan grassland utilisation by forward budgeting of available grass to match animal requirements. - Nutritional Management of the Transition Dairy Cow15 January 10
The overall objective of this program of research was to determine effects of transition and late dry period nutrition on feed intake, metabolism and lactation performance of high yielding dairy cows, using both applied and strategic studies at the Centre for Dairy Research. - Optimum Protein Levels For Dairy Heifers15 January 10
This study was to examine the effects of different dietary regimes in the peripubertal period on subsequent first lactation milk yield.
