Abstract

Abstract The effectiveness of forages to prevent post‐calving hypocalcaemia, when used as a feed source for non‐lactating dairy cows, can be predicted by the dietary cation–anion difference (DCAD). Three to four weeks before calving, the ration of non‐lactating dairy cows should have a DCAD around −50 mmol c kg −1 DM. In an experiment, swards, based on Timothy ( Phleum pratense L.), were used to (i) evaluate the impact of two types (CaCl 2 and NH 4 Cl) and four application rates of chloride fertilizer per season (0, 80, 160 and 240 kg Cl ha −1 ) in combination with two N application rates (70 and 140 kg N ha −1 ) on mineral concentrations and DCAD in the herbage, and (ii) determine the economically optimal rate of chloride fertilizer (Cl op ) for DCAD in herbage. Chloride and N fertilizers were applied in the spring and, after the first harvest in 2003 and 2004 at four locations that differed in K content of their soils. Two harvests were taken during each year. Averaged across N‐fertilizer application rates, harvests and locations, the highest rate of chloride fertilizer increased chloride concentration in herbage by 8·5 g kg −1 dry matter (DM) and decreased DCAD in herbage by 190 mmol c kg −1 DM to values as low as −9 mmol c kg −1 DM. Both types of chloride fertilizer had the same effect on chloride concentration and DCAD in herbage and had no effect on DM yield. When no chloride fertilizer was applied on soils with a high content of available K, application of N fertilizer increased DCAD in herbage by 47 mmol c kg −1 DM at both harvests. Herbage DCAD was lower in summer than in spring by 47–121 mmol c kg −1 DM depending on the location. Application of chloride fertilizer can effectively lower the DCAD of Timothy‐based herbages; the economically optimal rate of chloride fertilizer in the spring varied from 78 to 123 kg Cl ha −1 , depending on soil K and chloride contents and expected DM yield.

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
