Development of models in NorFor Plan to predict economical optimal feeding level in high yielding dairy cows in Scandinavia

NorFor Plan has been implemented as the general tool for feed planning in Denmark, Sweden, Norway and Iceland. Feed ration optimization is based on short term cost minimization at a given daily milk yield level. NorFor Plan cannot at herd level optimize t he long term financial optimum feeding le...

Improvement of the NorFor feed evaluation system for cattle with special emphasis on feed passage kinetics in the rumen (184240)

Feed evaluation systems are used for describing the nutritive value of feeds and the nutritional requirements of the animal. Therefore, they are vital for understanding of nutrition and for developing and implementing nutritional strategies in animal prod uction. The practical goal of feed evalua...

JORDBRUK-Jord, planter og husdyr

Milk protein response to abomasal or intravascular amino acid or glucose infusion in dairy cows with high or low genetic merit.

One of the main purpose in improving our knowledge of nutrient requrements and supplementation to ruminants is to optimise resource utilization and minimize production costs. During the last years, our knowledge of dietary protein evaluation for diary cows has increased, and in Norway a new semi...

Towards a new feed evaluation system for dairy cows based on whole animal models - NKJ nr 111

The main objective of the study is to improve the measurements of microbial protein flow out of the rumen of dairy cows by applying different methods for microbial isolation, different microbial markers and different sites of sampling for microbial isolat ion.
