8 Take Home Message VT research P from forages appears higher than NRC. P is lower in byproduct feeds. P is higher in fermented feeds and forages. Take home message Given the new information on what is impact on rations and nutrient balance? Diets with low inclusion of byproduct feeds in rations appear to have adequate P without inorganic P supplementation. Rations with higher inclusion byproduct inclusion rates have modest surpluses of dietary P. Nutrient analysis of feeds from large scale testing labs and field trials show substantial variation in P levels Supplementation of inorganic P may only be necessary for: High producing early lactation cows Farms with low P soils which is uncommon in much of the U.S. Additional studies by Va. Tech workers have demonstrated that achieving low P rations adds additional expense to dairy rations. 8

9 Rations with high inclusion rates of byproduct feeds were higher in CP. Our example with similar DMI and energy balance there was 0.75 lb. more protein per cow per day. Impact on P balance on dairies? Improved feeding management showed trends for improvements in N balance on 8 study herds over 5 year period. Improved feeding management had little impact on P balance on these same study herds. Impact of byproduct feeds. Higher levels of P in feeds than anticipated. Lack of supplemental inorganic P supplement. 9
