Feeding processed soybean to mid-lactation Holstein cows: ingestive behaviour and rumen fermentation characteristics
The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of roasted soybean (RSB), extruded soybean (ESB) and their equal blend (RSB + ESB) compared with soybean meal (SBM) on nutrient intake, feed preference, meal and rumination patterns, feeding and chewing behaviour and rumen fermentation characte...
