Extract

A previous trial (Brigstocke et al., 1982) had indicated that mature Jersey cows ate considerably more dry matter (DM) in relation to their body size than was currently projected from the multiple regression equations used for appetite prediction. However this trial was run on one large high-yielding herd with only a small number of animals and it was not known whether the results were applicable to the more average Jersey producer.
