Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

The objective was to compare productivity of lactating dairy cows fed dehydrated corn silage with those fed whole-crop barley silage. Twelve multiparous Holstein cows in mid lactation were fed diets containing dehydrated corn silage (DCS) or barley silage with additional grain (BSHG) or without (BSLG) in a 3 × 3 Latin square design, with 21-d periods, balanced for carryover effects. The dietary starch content was similar for DCS and BSHG diets, and dietary forage content was similar for DCS and BSLG diets. Experimental diets did not affect dry matter intake, but cows fed DCS diet decreased milk yield compared with those fed barley silage regardless of the dietary starch content. Apparent total-tract digestibility of starch and crude protein was also lower for cows fed DCS compared with those fed barley silage, and milk urea N content was lowest for cows fed DCS diet, indicating that DCS likely had less protein degradation in the rumen than barley silage. Milk fat content and yield, energy-corrected milk yield, and feed efficiency were not different between cows fed BSHG and DCS diets, but higher for cows fed BSLG than those fed BSHG or DCS diet, which can be attributed to the difference in dietary starch content. Feeding DCS in place of barley silage did not improve productivity of lactating dairy cows in the current study, and further research is warranted to optimize its utilization in dairy diets.

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.
