Cracked Dry of Finely Ground High Moisture Shelled Corn as a Supplement for Grazing Cows

摘要

Feedign shelled corn as the primary supplement in cracked dry form or ground high moisture form to graz - ing cows was studied in an experiment using 32 cows in late lactation. Each of the two forms of corn accounted for 74.7/100 of the concentrate supplement, which was fed at 9 kg/d (DM). The experiment was 13 wk, during which cows grazed permanent native pasture con - taining mostly grasses and some clover. Milk yield was 2.4 kg/d higher for cows fed ground high moisture shelled corn that for those fed dry cracked shelled corn.
