Pelleting of a Total Mixed Ration Affects Growth Performance of Fattening Lambs [PDF]
Frontiers in Veterinary Science, 2021 Feeding pelleted total mixed rations (TMR) instead of traditional loose concentrate plus forage to fattening lambs is an emerging practice. This study aimed to determine the effects of feeding pelleted TMR to fattening lambs on feed intake behaviour ...

Fermented Total Mixed Ration Alters Rumen Fermentation Parameters and Microbiota in Dairy Cows [PDF]
Animals, 2023 This study aimed to determine changes and interactions of ruminal microbiota and chemical parameters in dairy cows fed FTMR. Twelve multiparous Holstein dairy cows (Body weight = 616 ± 13.4 kg; day in milk = 106 ± 7.55 d; and parity = 2.31 ± 0.49; mean ±

Improvement of Fermentation Quality in the Fermented Total Mixed Ration with Oat Silage [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 The use of the fermented total mixed ration (FTMR) is a promising approach for the preservation of homogeneous feed, but changes during fermentation and links with the bacterial community of FTMR are not fully understood.

Fermentation Quality, In Vitro Digestibility, and Aerobic Stability of Total Mixed Ration Silage in Response to Varying Proportion Alfalfa Silage. [PDF]
Animals (Basel), 2022 Simple Summary Ensiling a total mixed ration (TMR) allows longer storage times for thoroughly mixed feed. In our previous study, we found that alfalfa silage could directly provide an acidic environment in fresh TMR and had a function comparable to that ...

Effects of different wet distillers' grains ratios on fermentation quality, nitrogen fractions and bacterial communities of total mixed ration silage. [PDF]
BMC MicrobiolWet distiller’s grains (WDG) are rich in crude protein, yet challenging to preserve. Nevertheless, incorporating WDG into total mixed ration (TMR) silage holds promise for enhancing fermentation quality. This study investigated the effects of varying WDG
