Corrigendum to “Temporal effects of ruminal propionic acid infusion on feeding behavior of Holstein cows in the postpartum period” (J. Dairy Sci. 101:3077–3084) (S0022030218301061) (10.3168/jds.2017-13857))

Abstract

On page 3077, the last sentence should be modified to (changes in bold): “We expected that a faster rate of infusion would decrease meal size but increase and the time between meals compared with a slower rate of infusion.” On page 3080, the second line of the first column should be modified as follows: “Pk × Tl = the interaction between period and treatment.” On page 3080 (second paragraph of Results), the first 2 sentences should be modified as follows: “The amount of PA infused (∼14.5 mol/d) provided 5.29 Mcal of ME/d and did not differ (P = 0.35) between FST and SLW. When the ME from the treatment infusions was added to the MEI from the diet, PA decreased total MEI 30.6% per day (41.7 vs. 28.9 Mcal/d, P <0.01) and effects of FST and SLW were similar (28.3 vs. 29.6 Mcal/d, P = 0.68).” The last two rows of Table 2 (page 3080) should be modified as shown below. On page 3081, the second sentence of the Discussion should be modified as follows: “It is unlikely that the decrease in DMI by PA infusion was from additional energy supplied by the infusions because total MEI was reduced by PA treatments.” The authors regret the errors.
