ABSTRACT
The low quality, with respect to nieotinic acid and riboflavin, of late-cut hay, was reflected in the decreased excretion of these vitamins by cows fed the hay. For the other rations fed, nieotinic acid excretion was unaffected, while the excretion values for riboflavin indicated that silage, and possibly cane molasses, favor the rumen or intestinal synthesis of this vitamin. Bumen synthesis of thiamine probably is of considerable importance in ruminant nutrition, and the feeding of silage appears to favor this synthesis.
