Two aspects of lipid supplementation of dairy cow diets have been examined. Forage intake of cows was measured when lipids were ensiled with ryegrass. Intake of dry matter from silage was reduced by 2.77 and 1.66 kg/kg when tallow and groundnut oil were additives. Animals receiving groundnut oil ingested more energy, produced more milk, but secreted less fat than those receiving tallow supplement.
