The Effect Of Silage Properties On Nutritional Behavior
2022
Yeni̇terzi̇, Dilara
The nutritional environment of the animals raised in the enterprise and the availability of feed are the conditions that affect the reaction of the animal to the prepared ration and roughage consumption. The content, form and fermentation possibility of the fiber in the ration also affect the feeding behavior, the amount of feed consumed, as well as the metabolic profile of the animal and the lactation process. While preparing the ration, it is possible to change the feeding time for more than 1 hour a day by changing the amount of fiber or changing the particle size. It is important that the silage particle size is at the optimum level. The longer than normal size of the particles prolongs the chewing time required for swallowing the ingested feed. In competitive diets, if the particle size is larger than normal and the silage consists of fibers with low digestibility, the feeding time of the cattle in the mangers is prolonged. Their daily dry matter consumption is limited. Penn State sieve used to calculate silage particle size and TMR mixtures with 19 mm and above silages affect the production of propionic acid formed in the rumen environment due to the high starch and fermentation level, and play a role in the feed selection and consumption pattern of animals.
