Abstract
In the present investigation (3 experiments) the effects of fatty rapeseed products were studied on both strawβbased and hayβbased rations for lactating cows. Compared rapeseed products, used as ingredients of concentrate mixtures, were fullβfat rapeseed (43% oil), partially defatted rapeseed expellercake (19% oil) and fully defatted rapeseed meal (2% oil). The rapeseed and rapeseed expellercake compared to the defatted rapeseed meal resulted in significantly higher yields of milk and 4% fatβcorrected milk, when barley straw was the dominating roughage. In the hayβbased diet the positive effects of added fat were not as much expressed. The iodine number of the milk fat increased about 4 units, when feeding the highβfat rations, i.e. the softness of the butter was improved. The results indicate that supplementation of straw with fatty rapeseed products will improve the possibility of a biologically and economically beneficial use of cereal straw in dairy cow rations.

This paper is concerned with automated feeding of dairy cows and examines a solution based on the controlled access of individual animals to the manger. An experimental system was set up consisting of a directional gate giving access to two different sectors of the feeding area with different feed r
