Dr. D. Roseler- LOL Strive for Highly Digestible Forage Fiber Allows more pounds of Forage to be consumed Does not ferment to strong acids such as lactic Reduces the amount of starch needed to support a given level of milk production Improves rumen health and production Growing Conditions Affect Forage Quality + = increase - = decrease 0 = variable Higher More More Temp Water Nitrogen Yield Feed Value Fiber Lignin Digestibility NFC (starch)

Schwab - Univ. of New Hampshire Dr. M. B. Hall - Univ. of Florida Escape Feed Protein Production & Maintenance Absorbed Protein Sources of Protein Microbial protein (up to 70% of total protein needs) Undegraded (bypass) Body tissue reserves What Can be Done? By improving rumen fermentation, microbial protein synthesis and efficiency of protein use, we can lower the total quantity of protein fed and decrease N excretion by 20-30% This helps the environment and can improve profitability for the producer 3
4 What Levels Are Being Fed Relative to Requirements? Maryland - - N was 8-17% > req t Texas - - P was about 30% > req t Wisconsin - - P was 17-40% > req t Why is P Being Overfed Safety factor in ration formulation Perception that added P improves reproduction Overfeeding protein using purchased supplements How Does P Excretion Change with Diet P Level? lbs What About Reproduction? Most studies use a small number of cows/treatment This makes it Most difficult to rigidly test the effect of ration P level on reproduction Dr. Larry Satter at the Dairy Forage Research Center summarized data from recent trials in the US, Germany and the Netherlands These trials were summarized by 2 ration P groupings P and Reproduction Ration P, % No. of cows Days 1 st Estrus Days 1 st Breed S/C Preg.
