Biorefinery Glas: The potential of presscake as a fodder source for dairy cows

A fact sheet on the potential use of grass press cake as a fodder source for dairy cows. Press cake silage can partially replace grass silage in dairy cows’ diet. Milk yield and milk quality were not affected by replacing grass silage with press cake silage in the diet of dairy cows. Reduction in nitrogen and phosphorus excretion by dairy cows was observed by replacing grass silage with press cake silage compared to grass silage only. Reduction in in vitro methane production was observed by replacing grass silage with press cake silage compared to grass silage only.
