Twelve cows were allotted to three 4 × 4 latin squares to evaluate intake and apparent digestibility of nutrients, milk composition and production and feeding behavior. The treatments consisted of maize silage or sugarcane with 0, 7 or 14% of whole cottonseed. In the established forage:concentrate ratio of 60:40, the corn silage treatment was superior for most of parameters evaluated including dry matter intake (20.8 kg/d), milk and fat corrected milk production (25.0 and 27.0 kg/d) and daily production of […]
