Abstract: | Two groups of 12 Holstein cows past peak lactation were fed complete mixed diets containing either brown midrib corn silage or its normal genetic counterpart. All cows were fed a standardization ration containing another corn silage prior to and after the experimental period. Performance during the experimental period was expressed as deviation from standardization. Cows fed brown midrib silage produced .66 kg more milk per day that tested .28 percentage units less fat during the 4-wk experimental period than during standardization. Control cows produced .10 kg more milk per day in the experimental period as compared to standardization without difference in fat test. On a fat-corrected basis (4%) there was no difference in milk yield between treatments. |
