Feeding a dry TMR was compared with partially (PHF) or totally (TLF) ensiled mixed rations based on sugar beet tops, focusing on ruminal and blood variables, estimated microbial protein synthesis (EMPS), nutrient digestibility, productive performance,…

Replacement beef heifers are often reared in drylots to facilitate feeding and management, or to intensify beef production as availability of grazing areas becomes limited. Our research group demonstrated that rearing heifers in drylots with high stocking…

Nutrient restriction due to limited dry matter intake during early lactation in dairy cows may be a limiting factor for farm profitability. Improvement of feed digestibility through the use of direct-fed microbials may help alleviate challenges faced…
