Description
In spring-calving herds the requirement for conserved forages for indoor feeding is very limited but these feeds may have a role to play as buffer feeds in the spring and autumn periods when grass supply is less than required or as alternatives to concentrates on pasture for cows in early lactation. The objective of this experiment was to compare alternative forages and concentrates as buffer feeds on pasture with spring-calving cows in the autumn.
