Use of peas in organic buffalo farming: effects on nutrient digestibility and milk production [PDF]
Twenty lactating buffalo cows, organically farmed, were used to examine the effects of including peas in total mixed ration. Two concentrates were formulated to contain, as the main protein sources, either 350 g/kg of soybean cake (CC) or 450 g/kg of ...

In a Nutshell: Total Mixed Ration Silage
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.

In vitro gas production of five rations of different maize silage and concentrate ratios influenced by increasing levels of chemically characterized extract of Salix babylonica [PDF]
Salix babylonica (SB) is a tree of the willow family with slender leaves, native to dry areas of northern China. Trees of SB are commonly found along moist places and are often planted or cultivated as an ornamental tree. SB often cultivated to make high-

Lactobacillus mixtipabuli sp. nov. isolated from total mixed ration silage
Using a polyphasic taxonomic approach, we investigated three bacterial strains – IWT30T, IWT8 and IWT75 – isolated from total mixed ration silage prepared in Hachimantai, Iwate, Japan. The isolates comprised Gram-stain positive, non-motile, non-spore-forming, catalase-negative, rod-shaped bacteria.

The effects of three total mixed rations with different concentrate to maize silage ratios and different levels of microalgae Chlorella vulgaris on in vitro total gas, methane and carbon dioxide production [PDF]
The aim of the current study was to assess the effects of adding Chlorella vulgaris algae at different levels on in vitro gas production (GP) of three total mixed rations (TMR) with different concentrate (C): maize silage (S) ratios (25C : 75S, 50C : 50S,

EVALUATION OF DIRECT-FED MICROBIAL SUPPLEMENTATION TO IMPROVE UTILIZATION OF THE LOW QUALITY ROUGHAGES IN RUMINANTS [PDF]
Direct-fed microbials (DFM) feed additives have been shown to improve average daily gain (ADG) and feed efficiency in ruminant animals in many studies.

The Survey of Total Mixed Ration Plant in Korea [PDF]
This experiment was carried out to show a reform measures by grouping for problems by the survey of TMR plants. Twenty total mixed ration (TMR) plants (10 cooperation and 10 private plants) were surveyed, of which 13 plants, 65% of total TMR plants, committed TMR formulae to a outside nutrition specialist (TMR formulator).

A 100-Year Review: Total mixed ration feeding of dairy cows [PDF]
Total mixed rations (TMR) as we know them today did not exist in 1917. In fact, TMR are an invention of primarily the last half of the past 100 yr. Prior to that time many dairy herds were fed only forages, but dairy producers started moving toward TMR feeding as milk production per cow increased, herds became larger, freestall and large-group handling
