Separate offering of forages and concentrates increases feed efficiency and nitrogen use efficiency in mid-lactation dairy cows without altering milk yield.
Daily enteric methane emission decreased by 9% alongside a 1.2 kg/d reduction in dry matter intake, maintaining overall energy-corrected milk production.
Replicated Latin square design demonstrates that concentrate feeding six times daily stabilizes ruminal fermentation to match total mixed ration feeding.
