The objective was to evaluate the provision of oat silage (Avena sativa) to supplement
grazing dairy cows on pastures of perennial ryegrass (Lolium perenne), festulolium (Lolium …

Accounting and mathematical modeling methods were combined to analyze the cost
structure and economic optimization of small-scale dairy production systems in the present …

The conservation of forage as silage allows its application during the dry season in dairy
cattle feeding. The most commonly used forage for this purpose is maize (Zea mays L.), but …

The work assessed the productive response and estimated enteric methane (CH 4)
emissions of dairy cows grazing in small-scale dairy systems. Treatments were grazing …

Simple Summary The present study simulated the effects of different dairy cow diets based
on local feeding strategies on enteric methane (CH4) emissions and surpluses of crude …
