Effects of supplementing a Bacillus-based direct-fed microbial on performance, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation characteristics, and metabolic responses of lactating dairy cows

Abstract:: This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effects of feeding a Bacillus-based direct-fed microbial (DFM) on performance, nutrient digestibility, rumen fermentation, and metabolic response of lactating dairy cows. Sixty-eight lactating (50 ± 6 d in milk) Holstein-Friesian (n = 20) and...
