Supplementation of pregnant cows with protected proteins when fed tropical forage diets

Jodi A. Lindsay, G. W. J. Mason, Mark Toleman

Open publisher page 23 citations

Abstract

Native pastures in the dry tropics rapidly decline in digestibility and N content with the onset of the dry season. N supplementation is offered as a management strategy to overcome the dry season nutritional deficit. This deficit occurs despite an abundance of dry standing pasture and one of the susceptible groups of cattle is lactating cows.
