Overview

Observational analysis shows enhanced protein levels and cheese production in grazing dairy cows, suggesting profitability improvement through cassava root silage supplementation.

Key Points

  • Cheese production increased by 0.73 kg per animal per day with cassava root silage supplement.
  • Including cassava root silage improved protein levels in Minas Frescal cheese significantly.
  • Grazing dairy cows supplemented with cassava root silage showed higher gross revenue by 3.49 US dollars per animal per day.
  • Replacing ground corn with cassava root silage did not affect the physicochemical characteristics or sensory attributes of the cheese.
