Ensiling Total Mixed Ration for Ruminants: A Review [PDF]
Agronomy, 2020 The interest of ensiling total mixed rations (TMR) for ruminants reemerged in the last decades. In many situations, ensiling TMR has been a sustainable alternative to efficiently handle wet byproducts in ruminant diets.

Limiting total mixed ration availability alters eating and rumination patterns of lactating dairy cows. [PDF]
JDS Commun, 2021 Graphical Abstract Summary: Limiting total mixed ration (TMR) availability from 24 to 19 h/d changed the eating patterns of lactating dairy cows. Availability of ad libitum hay also made a significant difference in dry matter intake (DMI) patterns, as ...
