Trial A
| Year | 1983 |
|---|---|
| Summary | Amaferm, fed through VitaFerm to dairy cows, did not effect DMI or milk yield on corn silage diets, but tended to increase milk fat (P < .10) and fat yield (P < .05). However, overall the effect of Amaferm was not significant, as the effects on pelleted cottonseed hull diets tended to be negative. |
