Controlling dietary cation-anion differences in forages by chloride fertilisation
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020-03-30)Rations with low to negative dietary cation-anion difference (DCAD) given to dairy cows before calving reduce the risk of hypocalcaemia (milk fever). Different strategies for increasing forage DCAD were investigated in ... -
