Preservation of sugarcane silage with urea and calcium oxide: performance and metabolic efficiency of dairy cows

Preservation of sugarcane silage with urea and calcium oxide: performance and metabolic efficiency of dairy cows

Background: Inclusion of urea and calcium oxide (CaO) during sugarcane ensilage has been hypothesized to improve dairy cow performance. Objective: To evaluate the use of urea and calcium oxide as additives to preserve sugarcane silage quality and determine whether they improve dairy cow performance...
