Nutritive value of peas for lactating dairy cattle
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine the nutritive value for lactating dairy cows of peas relative to soybean meal (SBM) and barley. Four Holstein cows (200 ± 23 d in milk), fitted with rumen and duodenal cannulae were assigned to four dietary treatments in an experiment designed as a 4 × 4 Latin square with 21 d in each of the four periods. Cows were fed a diet for ad libitum intake with a 50:50 forage:concentrate ratio (DM basis). Peas replaced SBM at the levels of 0, 33.3, 66.7%, and 100% of the concentrate portion in the four test diets. In the 100% pea-based diet, barley was replaced (at 72.35%) to obtain a similar starch content as the SBM-based concentrate. The forage components of the diets consisted of 25% alfalfa silage and 25% bromegrass silage. Dry matter intake (21.6 ± 0.4 kg d –1 ) and milk yield were not affected by substitution of peas for SBM and barley. Mean rumen pH decreased linearly (P < 0.01) with increasing level of peas in the diet. Substitution of peas for SBM and barley resulted in a linear increase in the concentration of rumen acetate, butyrate, isovalerate, and valerate (P < 0.01), and had a quadratic effect on caproate. Rumen bacterial yield and duodenal flow of total N were not affected by treatment. Ruminal fermentation characteristics and digestibility of nutrients suggest that the substitution of SBM and barley grain with peas may alter the site and end-products of digestion; however, the substitution had no significant effects on production parameters. Key words: Peas, digestion, rumen fermentation, dairy cows

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
