Description
Key points:
- High digestibility grass silage with moderate concentrate supplementation can sustain a large proportion of the cattle performance achieved on high concentrate diets.
- Increasing concentrate supplementation reduces the importance of grass silage nutritional value.
- Subsequent compensatory growth diminishes the advantage of concentrate supplementation of young cattle.
- Meat quality and fatty acid composition can be influenced by grass silage-based diets.
