Feed effects on Body Condition ScoreDifferent feeds have different efficiencies associated with the conversion of contained energy to BCS gain. This project aims to validate the results for a trial conducted 2008-09, which determined the effect of commonly used supplements on body condition score change during the dry period. |
Expected outcomes of this project
| Benefit |
| Knowing the efficiency of converting commonly used supplements on BCS gain in non-lactating dairy cows will enable farmers to make a decision on the value proposition of the different feeds available and support extenstion messages relating to nutrition and supplements. |
| Less confusion among farmers and industry professionals on the impact of different feeds on BCS gain resulting from more consistent messages across all sources. |
