|January 1, 1988
Abstract:
The variations in digestibility of the same diet (65% maize silage-35% concentrates) in dairy cows during pregnancy and lactation are explained both by dry matter (DM) intake variations (more than 1 pt of decrease in digestibility per kg of increase in DM intake) and physiological stage: digestibility is lower in early lactation than in late pregnancy or mid-lactation.
