Embodiment Construction

[0041] Detailed description of preferred embodiments

[0042] The present invention provides a comprehensive method for providing optimal nutrition for ruminants. The method combines the knowledge of feed design and rumen function of dairy cows with the digestible characteristics of forages and grains to establish a ration template for the specific production stage of dairy cows. The present invention provides a system that combines at least two specific forage sources and forage specifications (specification) to establish a synergistic basic forage daily feed, and then add starch grains mixed therein to affect the production of propionic acid VFA And its absorption site in the cow’s gastrointestinal tract. The targeted digestibility of starch is controlled and adjusted by characterizing the digestibility rate and extent of corn genetic source (grain) and maintaining the specific particle size of the starch through processing. Combine these grain starch sources and specific partic...

Abstract

A method for feeding a ruminant animal a feed ration for enhancing its milk production stability across a multiple-stage lactation cycle is provided according to the invention. The feed ration should contain: at least one primary forge source selected from the group consisting of brown midrib corn silage, dual-purpose corn silage, leafy corn silage, and grass silage; a secondary forage source selected from the group consisting of dual-purpose corn silage, alfalfa haylage, alfalfa dry hay, grass silage, and alfalfa / grass mix; a corn grain blend of opaque / floury and vitreous / hard endosperm starch grain into which normal dent corn or mutt corn may be blended in order to achieve a predetermined level of in vitro.

Description

[0001] Cross reference to related applications [0002] This application is a partial continuation of U.S.S.N. 11 / 494,312 filed on July 27, 2006, and the U.S.S.N. 11 / 494,312 is fully incorporated herein by reference. Invention field [0003] The present invention relates to the nutrition of ruminants, and more particularly, to a method for enhancing feed rations for dairy cows to maximize their net milk production, peak milk production rate, and milk production stability throughout the milking cycle of dairy cows. Background of the invention [0004] Before newborns can digest more different foods, milk provides them with the main source of nutrition. At the same time, milk derived from commercial sources such as dairy cows can provide long-term nutritional benefits for humans after their very early infancy. Cows produce their milk in accordance with the natural instructions of the lactation cycle. During the high milk production period of this lactation cycle, a good source of ...
