Milk production strategies focusing on longevity and limited use of concentrate are receiving increasing attention. To evaluate such strategies, knowledge of the development with age of animal characteristics, particularly digestion, is indispensable. We therefore investigated the development of feed intake, chewing activity, and digestion in 30 lactating Brown Swiss cows (876–3,648 d old) and 12...
Grazing young, highly digestible swards with and without supplemental hay or corn silage (5.5kg of DM/d) offered overnight was tested for its effects on ruminal pH and chewing activity. A double 3×3 Latin square arrangement with 6 rumen-cannulated Brown Swiss cows (29 kg/d of milk) was applied. Herbage intake was quantified by controlled-release alkane capsules. Chewing activity was determined using...
