In contrast, Western Australian dairy farmers have always placed far more importance on including energy and protein into the feed ration. As pasture silage contains no starch, the only source of starch has been in the form of cheap cereal grain included in the feed ration. As the cereal grains are slowly reduced from the ration, due to higher prices, it is necessary to look for alternative sources of starch such as maize, wheat and barley silage that contain high starch levels. | Dairy Farm Production Improving Forages for Dairy Cows A report for by Edward Cox 2010 Nuffield Scholar March 2011 Nuffield Australia Project No 1010 Sponsored by Dairy Australia Your Levy at Work AUSTRALIAN DAIRY CONFERENCE 2011 Nuffield Australia.
