    Notes: In two changeover design experiments, fifteen early- and sixteen late-lactation cows were used to investigate the effects of offering food beet with ad libitum grass silage and concentrates with different CP content on milk yield and quality. In Experiment 1 (early lactation) cows were offered no fodder beet (0) or 4 kg DM d−1 (4) in conjunction with one of three concentrates containing 159, 191 or 244g CP kg−1 DM (L.M.H.). Treatments were therefore 1L/0, 1L/4, 1M/0, 1M/4, 1H/0 and 1H/4. In Experiment 2 (late lactation) cows were offered the same level of fodder beet in conjunction with two concentrates containing 129 and 229 (L,H) g CP kg−1 DM. Treatments were therefore 2L/0, 2L/4, 2H/0 and 2H/4.In both experiments feeding fodder beet reduced silage DM intakes (P 〈 0·001) and increased total DM intake (P 〈 0·05 to P 〈 0·001). The substitution rate (r) ranged from 0·46 to 0·59kg of silage DM (kg−1 fodder beet DM).In Experiment 1, fodder beet tended to increase milk yield, composition and yield of constituents, but the effect was statistically significant for milk protein content only (P 〈 0·01). In Experiment 2, milk yields for 2L/0, 2L/4, 2H/0 and 2H/4 were 11·3, 12·1, 11·7 and 12·5 kg d−1 respectively (s.e.d. 0·43, non-significant), fat contents were 44·4, 47·3, 44·3 and 46·8g fat kg−1 respectively (s.e.d. 0·73, P 〈 0·001), protein contents were 34·3, 35·6, 35·3 and 36·2 g protein kg−1 respectively (s.e.d. 0·28, P 〈 0·001), fat yields were 494, 574, 512 and 579 g fat d−1 respectively (s.e.d. 20, P 〈 0·001) and protein yields were 385, 426, 407 and 442 g protein d−1 (s.e.d. 13, P 〈 0·01) respectively.Increasing CP in the concentrate significantly increased milk yield in Experiment 1 (23·9, 22·5, 23·5, 23·8, 26·2, 26·5kg d−1 for 1L/0, 1L/4, 1M/0, 1M/4, 1H/0 and 1H/4 respectively, P 〈 0·05). Higher CP in concentrate also resulted in significantly increased milk protein yield in early-lactation (P 〈 0·001) and milk protein content in late-lactation (P 〈 0·01) cows. There was a significant interaction between fodder beet and concentrate CP content for milk protein yield (P 〈 0·001) in Experiment 1.

    Notes: Twelve cows were used in a cyclic changeover design experiment to examine the effects of feeding fodder beet (variety Kyros) at three levels (0, 2 and 4 kg dry matter (DM) d−1) with two levels of concentrate feeding (4 and 8 kg DM−1). Silage was offered ad libitum. At the start of the experiment the mean number of days after calving was 46 and the mean live weight 516 kg. The experiment consisted of four 3-week periods with intake and performance measurements during the last week of each period.An in vitro analysis of the feeds for the silage, fodder beet and concentrate respectively was: DM (g kg-−1) 189, 163, 860; crude protein (g kg DM−1) 143,76,201; metabolizable energy (MJ kg DM−1) 104, 133, 13–5.Silage DM intake decreased but total DM intake increased when fodder beet was fed. The DM intakes (kg d−1) for treatments (fodder beet/ concentrate) 0/4, 2/4, 4/4, 0/8, 2/8, 4/8 respectively were: silage DM 91, 79, 78, 83, 70 and 68 (s.e.d. =0.31); and total DM 130, 138, 156, 162, 166, 183 (s.e.d. = 0.36). Feeding fodder beet had no significant effects on milk yield or milk composition, but there was a significant increase in milk protein yield when fodder beet was included in the ration. There were no significant interactions between level of fodder beet feeding and concentrate level. Increasing the level of concentrate feeding led to a highly significant increase in milk yield, milk protein content and yield of milk constituents. The yields for treatments 0/4, 2/4,4/4,0/8, 2/8,4/8 respectively were: milk yield (kg d−1) 206, 204,21 8, 241,235, 244 (s.e.d. = 0–58); fat yield (g d−1) 827, 793, 885, 954, 936, 954 (s.e.d. = 394); and protein yield (g d−1) 622, 628, 679, 774, 777, 814 (s.e.d. = 179). There were no significant differences in milk yield and milk composition when fodder beet was included in the diet which may have been due to the low crude protein content of the diet.
