Book Description
Cropping decisions are important to the economic and environmental sustainability of dairy farms. Being able to feed alternative forage silages in addition to corn silage and alfalfa haylage to lactating dairy cows may increase the resilience of dairy farms. A series of 3 experiments were conducted to investigate the effects of partially replacing corn silage with the following alternative forage silages (AFS): brown midrib dwarf forage sorghum (Sorghum bicolor L. Moench)) or fall grown oat (Avena sativa L.) silages (Exp. 1), winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) or triticale (X Triticosecale) silages (Exp. 2), or brown midrib dwarf pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum L.) silage (Exp. 3) The AFS were included at 10% of the diet dry matter of lactating dairy cows. The experiments investigated the effect on dry matter intake, milk yield, milk components and fatty acid profile, apparent total-tract nutrient digestibility, N utilization, and enteric methane emissions. Additionally, we analyzed the in situ dry matter and neutral detergent fiber disappearance of the AFS vs corn silage and alfalfa haylage. Sorghum was grown in the summer and harvested in the milk stage. Oat was grown in the fall and harvested in the boot stage. Wheat and triticale were planted in the fall as cover crops and harvested in the spring at the boot stage. Pearl millet was harvested at the flag leaf visible stage. Corn was harvested at one half milkline. All forages were ensiled. Neutral detergent fiber and acid detergent fiber concentrations were higher in all AFS than in corn silage. Lignin concentrations were less consistent with sorghum, wheat, and triticale silages having higher lignin content than the corn silage, while the oat and pearl millet silages had lignin concentrations similar to that of corn silage. All AFS had
