Popis: In Northern Europe the production of forage was severely impaired by drought in 2018. In Norway sawdust was tested as an alternative fiber source for dairy cows (Harstad & Prestløkken (2018). In earlier Danish studies Kristensen et al. (2003) demonstrated that it was possible to feed dairy cows chopped ammonia treated straw as the only roughage. However, the energy utilization was lower than for diets with forage. In late July 2018, there were a potential risk that some Danish dairy farms would have very limited amounts of forage. Therefore, it was decided to study how straw could be included in diets of high yielding dairy cows. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of replacing all or half of the forage (50% of dry matter (DM)) in a standard diet with straw and concentrate. The two concentrate mixtures used were based either on non-gene modified (NonGM) locally grown ingredients or mainly on gene modified (GM) ingredients.
