Effects of ruminal degradability of ensiled whole crop maize varieties on feed intake and milk production of dairy cows

The feed value of whole crop maize silage (WCMS) depends on nutrient composition, ruminal degradability and whole tract digestibility. However, as the ruminal degradation rate is involved in physical regulation of feed intake, ruminal degradability of WCMS may also affect feed intake and milk produc...
