    Notes: Grass silages made from first-harvest perennial ryegrass in mid-May and early-June and termed high-D and low-D respectively had mean DOMD values of 694 and 633 g kg−1 and were offered ad libitum to twelve Ayrshire cows in a 16-week feeding experiment using a cyclic changeover design. The silages were supplemented with a concentrate containing 363g CP per kg DM at daily rates of 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 kg per cow. The average daily intakes of silage DM were 12.6 and 11.1 kg per cow on the high- and low-D silage treatments respectively, and were not significantly different on the three concentrate treatments. The mean daily milk yields were 171, 18.6 and 21.0 kg per cow on the low-D silage treatments, and 19.6, 21.2 and 22.8 kg per cow on the high-D silage treatments at the 1.5, 3.0 and 4.5 kg rates of concentrate feeding respectively. Fat and lactose concentrations in the milk were not affected significantly by treatment, whereas the CP and SNF concentrations increased progressively and significantly as the rate of supplementary feeding increased. It is concluded that a high-protein concentrate supplement allows silage to make the maximum contribution in the diet, and gives a high response in terms of milk yield and composition.

    Notes: Four grass silages, all made in mid-July from second-harvest perennial ryegrass swards, were compared in a 16-week feeding experiment with twelve Ayrshire cows. Two silages were unwilted and two wilted. All the silages received formic acid (‘Add-F’) at the rate of 3 litres t-1 either with formalin at the rate of 1 litre t-1 or without formalin. The unwilted and wilted silages had mean dry matter (DM) concentrations of 200 and 243 g kg-1, and in vitro D-values of 0·293 and 0·272 respectively. The silages were offered ad libitum plus 6 kg concentrates per cow per day. The daily intakes of unwilted and wilted silage DM were 10·2 and 9·2 kg per cow respectively on the formic acid treatment, and 10·2 and 9·2 kg on the formic acid + formalin treatment. The mean daily milk yield on the unwilted silage treatments was 19·2 kg per cow which was significantly higher than the yield of 17·2 kg per cow on the wilted silage treatments. The formalin had no significant effect on milk yield. The four silage treatments had small and non-significant effects on milk composition. It is concluded that the unwilted silages, which had excellent fermentation characteristics, were superior to the wilted silages as a feed for dairy cows.

    Notes: In three separate feeding experiments using a total of thirty individually-housed Ayrshire cows three silages made from perennial ryegrass were given ad libitum together with supplements of four different hays in the long form. The in vitro D-values of the silages ranged from 0·298 to 0·283, and the hays from 0·280 to 0·200. The daily intake of hay DM varied from 0·2 to 4·2 kg per cow and was given either without or with a daily maximum of 2·2 kg concentrate DM containing 379–527 g CP per kg DM. On average, 1 kg hay DM decreased silage intake by 0·24 kg DM with a range of 0·21–1·20 kg. The hay supplements had only small and non-significant effects on total DM intake, milk yield and milk composition, but increased the daily intake of drinking water. In three behavioural studies, the eating and ruminating times expressed as min per kg DM did not differ significantly between the various supplement treatments. It is concluded that hay has only a marginal value as a supplement for grass silage, although the hay could serve as a useful ‘buffer’ feed if the amount of silage was limited.

    Notes: Two grass silages made from perennial ryegrass, and with D-values of 0·216 and 0·255, were offered ad libitum to 18 Ayrshire cows in two feeding experiments. On the control treatment the silages were supplemented with soybean meal only, and on the other two treatments with equal weights of DM from either barley or dried molassed sugar-beet pulp plus the same weight of soya as on the control treatment. The daily intakes of silage DM were not significantly different on the barley and beet-pulp treatments, and, on average, the intake of silage DM was reduced by 0·24 and 0·20 kg by feeding 1 kg barley and beet pulp DM respectively.The daily milk yields were not significantly different on the barley and beet-pulp treatments with mean values of 19·2 and 19·2 kg per cow respectively compared with 17·2 kg on the control treatment. On the barley and beet-pulp treatments the fat, SNF, CP and lactose concentrations in the milk and the live weights of the cows were not significantly different. It is concluded that the barley and beet pulp had similar feeding values and replacement rates when used as supplements with grass silage, and that the two feeds were interchangeable on an equal DM basis.

    Notes: In two experiments conducted with Ayrshire dairy cows in 1974 and 1975 on swards of S23 perennial ryegrass, four systems of continuous grazing were investigated. The leys received 345 and 370 kg ha-1 fertilizer nitrogen in 1974 and 1975 respectively and were stocked at the rate of five cows per ha. In 1974, a comparison was made between two systems which either integrated silage making with, or separated it from, the continuous grazing. The provision of a silage aftermath in late July increased milk yield after that time, but had no significant effect on milk yield over the 19-week experimental period. In 1975, a comparison between weekly and monthly applications of fertilizer N showed no significant differences between milk yields in a 20-week period. The feeding of supplementary concentrates from late July onwards significantly increased milk yield. The treatments in both years had only small and mainly non-significant effects on milk composition. On average, excluding the concentrate treatment, the annual output of milk was 10,800 kg ha-1 using spring-calved cows.

    Notes: Three grass silages made in early June from S23 perennial ryegrass were compared in a 16-week feeding experiment with twelve Ayrshire cows. The silages were made from uniform herbage which received either formic acid (‘Add-F’) at the rate of 201 t−1, or a formalin-sulphuric acid mixture (‘Syiade’) at rates of 2.0 and 4.4 1 t−1. The silages were offered ad libitum either alone or supplemented with a cube containing 38% CP in the DM at the rate of 1.4 kg per 10 kg milk. The daily intakes of silage DM were not significantly different on the three silage treatments, and averaged 10.7, 11.0 and 11.0 kg per cow on the formic acid and the 2.0 and 44 1 t−1 formalin-acid treatments respectively. The mean daily yields of milk were 15.1, 13.3 and 13.7 kg per cow in the unsupplemented treatments, and 18.2, 18.1 and 18.0 kg per cow in the supplemented treatments on the formic acid and the 2.0 and 44 1 t−1 formalin-acid treatments respectively.On the basis of total animal production expressed in terms of metabolizable energy requirements, it was concluded that the differences between the three silages were small.

    Notes: Grass silage made in late May from S24 perennial ryegrass was offered to twelve Ayrshire cows in a 16-week feeding experiment. The silage had a DM content of 25.3%, a pH of 3.91, and contained 16.8% CP and 68.4% digestible organic matter in the DM. The silage was fed ad libitum and was the sole feed in the control treatment. In the other three treatments the silage was supplemented with a cube offered at rates of 0.8, 1.4 and 2.0 kg per 10 kg milk. The cube contained 82.2% groundnut, plus molasses and minerals, and had 37.9% CP in the DM. The daily intake of silage DM was 11.4 kg per cow on average over the four treatments which did not differ significantly. The mean daily milk yields were 14.8 kg per cow in the control treatment, and 16.5, 18.2 and 18.4 kg in the 0.8, 1.4 and 2.0 kg supplement treatments respectively. The SNF, CP and lactose contents of the milk were Wghest on the 1.4 kg supplement treatment. It is concluded that with a high digestibility silage, there is little evidence to support the feeding of more than 1.4 kg of high-protein cubes per 10 kg milk in the declining phase of lactation.

    Notes: In two separate feeding experiments using a total of twenty-four individually housed Ayrshire cows six silages made from perennial ryegrass were offered ad libitum with supplements of concentrates. In Experiment I herbage with a dry matter (DM) concentration of 225 g kg−1 received either formic acid (‘Add-F’) at the rate of 2·0 litres t−1 or undiluted cane molasses at rates of 10, 20 and 30 litres t−l; the mean daily silage intakes were 9·54, 908, 9·27 and 9·49 kg DM per cow and the daily milk yields, corrected to 40 g fat kg−1, were 23·2, 22·3, 22·8 and 22·9 kg per cow respectively but none of the differences between the four treatments was significant. In Experiment 2 herbage with a DM concentration of 269 g kg−1 received formic acid at a uniform rate of 2·6 litres t−1 either with or without an additional application of molasses at 20 litres t−1; the mean daily silage DM intakes were 8·70 and 9·28 kg per cow and the daily fat-corrected milk yields were 22·2 and 21·9 kg per cow respectively and were not significantly different. In both experiments the effects of the treatments on milk composition were small and not significant. It is concluded that there were no advantages in applying molasses to herbage treated with formic acid, and that the rate of application of molasses to untreated herbage which equated with the formic acid application was 20·30 litres t−l when assessed on the basis of silage composition, intake and milk production.

    Notes: Grass silage made in May from S24 perennial ryegrass had a DM concentration of 262 g kg-1 and an in vitro D-value of 0·698, and was given ad libitum to twelve Ayrshire cows in a 16-week feeding experiment. In addition supplements of hay with a mean in vitro D-value of 0·603 were offered in one of three forms—long, chopped (12·1 mm) or ground (0·80 modulus of fineness) and cubed—and of concentrates given at either 2 or 4 kg per 10 kg milk. Hay averaged 18·2% of total forage DM intake with mean daily intakes of 1·28, 1·22 and 2·26 kg DM per cow in the long, short and ground forms respectively. The highest daily intakes of forage, i.e. silage plus hay, occurred on the ground hay treatments, with values of 10·24 and 9·25 kg DM per cow on the 2 and 4 kg concentrate treatments respectively. The mean daily milk yields were 18·2,18·2 and 19·2 kg per cow on the long, short and ground hay treatments respectively but the increase in yield with the ground hay was only significant at the low level of concentrate intake. The hay treatments had small and non-significant effects on milk composition. It is concluded that ground hay was superior to either long or chopped hay as a supplement for silage, but the small advantages depended on the level of concentrate intake.
