Abstract
TRIAL 1. Three methods of feeding, I—long: hay ad libitum plus 1 kg of concentrate per 2.5 kg of FCM; II—long hay and concentrate ad libitum; III—complete feed ad libitum, were compared in a switchback design. The complete feed consisted of a mixture of 70% concentrate and 30% coarsely ground hay (2.54-cm screen). Daily TDN intake was 9.78, 13.49, and 11.56 kg for Treatments I, II, and III, respectively. Mean daily milk production was 17.86,19.23, and 19.70; FCM was 17.11,16.61, and 18.36 kg for Treatments I, II, III, respectively. Treatment III was significnatly greater than I for both milk and FCM yields (P
