Rumen health is of vital importance in ensuring healthy and efficient dairy cattle production.
Current feeding programs for cattle recommend concentrate-rich diets to meet the high …

Carbohydrates are the major component of most ruminant feeds. The digestion of
carbohydrates in the rumen provides energy to the ruminants but also contributes to enteric …

Abstract The Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) is a nutritional model
that evaluates the environmental and nutritional resources available in an animal production …

The Cornell Net Carbohydrate and Protein System (CNCPS) predicts cattle requirements
and nutrient supply for site-specific situations. This paper describes the CNCPS version 6 …

Two 4× 4 Latin square trials (4-wk periods; 16 wk total) were conducted to see whether
supplementing rumen-protected Met (RPM; fed as Mepron) would allow feeding less crude …

Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in ruminants. Their site, extent and kinetics of
digestion highly impact the amount and profile of nutrients delivered to peripheral tissues …

The objective of this experiment was to partially replace corn silage with 2 alternative
forages, wheat (Triticum aestivum) or triticale (X Triticosecale) silages at 10% of the diet dry …

Dairy cows are customarily given grains and highly digestible byproduct ingredients as
additions to forage to support milk production. In many parts of the world growing seasons …

Protein supply and requirements by ruminants have been studied for more than a century.
These studies led to the accumulation of lots of scientific information about digestion and …

The hypothesis of the current study was that steam-flaking corn grain will increase ruminal
available starch, but reduce undegradable protein reaching the small intestine and hence …
