Pelleted Alfalfa Hay for Milk Production

Magnar Ronning, J. H. Meyer and G. T. Clark

Department of Animal Husbandry, University of California, Davis

ABSTRACT

Rations containing pelleted or chopped alfalfa hay were compared when fed with and without concentrates to producing dairy cows. Cows on pelleted hay consumed more dry matter and produced more milk than those receiving chopped hay when no concentrates were fed. Supplementation of chopped hay with about 12% concentrates increased dry matter intake and production to a level comparable to that of the pelleted hay rations. Increased dry matter intake and milk production when pelleted hay was supplemented at a similar rate were not significant. The butterfat percentage of the milk was unaffected by either of the pelleted hay rations.
