1 Contained 18% CP, 3% fat, 13% cellulose, 8000 UI/kg Vitamin A, 1200 UI/kg Vitamin D3, 15 mg/kg Vitamin E, 9.6 mg/kg CU2SO4. 2 Calculated according to NRC (2001). NEL was estimated based on a cows weighing 650 kg and average 21.8 kg dry matter intake per day. 3NFC calculated as 100 - [(NDF - NDFCP) + CP + ether extract + ash] (NRC, 2001). |
