Increased Cattle Feeding Precision from Automatic Feeding Systems: Considerations on Technology Spread and Farm Level Perceived Advantages in Italy

Animals, 2023
Automation reduces the impact of farming on climate change and helps farmers adapt to its financial impact. Automatic feeding systems (AFSs) increase the ruminant’s feeding precision and ease operators’ workload.

Effects of grain type and conditioning temperature during pelleting on growth performance, ruminal fermentation, meat quality and blood metabolites of fattening lambs

Animal, 2021
Ruminants can tolerate moderate concentrations of dietary tannin, making it feasible to replace corn with sorghum in ruminant diets; however, conditioning temperature of pelleted total mixed ration (PTMR) greatly affects nutrient digestibility.

Effects of Adding Agro-Industrial By-Products of Babassu to Guinea Grass Silage

Agriculture, 2023
Using by-products added to grass silage in the total mixed ration (TMR) silage form can bring advantages to the ensiling process, raising DM levels, absorbing moisture, and improving the silage’s chemical composition.

In a Nutshell: Total Mixed Ration Silage

, 2022
Total mixed rations (TMR) are produced by combining forages, by-products, concentrates, minerals, vitamins, and additives. Animals consume the nutrients required to meet the needs of maintenance and production from this mixture. Ensiling TMR is a long-established process. The ruminant production industry has shown a growing interest in TMR silage.

Economic Analyses of Feeding Systems Combining Pasture and Total Mixed Ration [PDF]

Journal of Dairy Science, 2003
Partial budgeting was used to compare net incomes of high-yielding Holstein cows fed either a total mixed ration (TMR), a pasture-based diet, or a combination of both. Variables included in the analysis were milk income, feed, feeding, manure handling, fencing, and water system expenses (revenues and costs based on 2000 values).
