| The effect of toasting field beans and of grass-clover: maize silage ratio on milk production, milk composition and sensory quality of the milk was investigated in a 2*2 factorial experiment. Toasting of field beans resulted in lower contents in milk of both fat (44.2 versus 46.1 g/kg, P = 0.02) and protein (33.5 versus 34.2 g/kg, P = 0.008), whereas milk production and urea and somatic cell contents were unaffected compared with untreated field beans. Increasing the proportion of maize silage (from 2 to 5 kg DM/cow/day) in the ration decreased the content of urea in milk (P=0.002), whereas milk production and fat and protein contents were unaffected. Milk from cows fed the high proportion of maize silage had a lower (P=0.04) content of the long chain... |
