Journal Article
Algherair, I., Saunders, N., Goodman, J., Margerison, J., Garnsworthy, P., & Mann, G. (2022). 42. Effect of live yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) on milk yield, feed efficiency and reproduction of high-yielding dairy cows. Animal - Science proceedings, 13(1), 30-31. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anscip.2022.03.043

Active yeast products have the potential to increase milk yield of dairy cows in early lactation by improving rumen conditions. Greater milk yields, however, can sometimes be associated with poorer reproductive performance (Garnsworthy et al., 2008).... Read More about 42.

Journal Article
Garnsworthy, P. C., Saunders, N., Goodman, J. R., & Marsden, M. (2021). Evaluation of rumen protected rapeseed expeller (NovaPro) as an alternative to soya bean meal in dairy cow diets. Animal Feed Science and Technology, 273, Article 114816. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.anifeedsci.2021.114816

There are environmental, social and economic pressures to reduce the use of soya bean meal in ruminant diets by using alternative protein sources, such as those derived from rapeseed. A new protected form of rapeseed (NovaPro) has been developed to p...

Inclusion of Wheat Dried Distillers’ Grains with Solubles from Bioethanol Plants in Diets for Dairy Cows (2021)
Journal Article
Garnsworthy, P. C., Marsden, M., Goodman, J. R., & Saunders, N. (2021). Inclusion of Wheat Dried Distillers’ Grains with Solubles from Bioethanol Plants in Diets for Dairy Cows. Animals, 11(1), Article 70. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani11010070

Dried distillers’ grains with solubles (DDGS) from bioethanol production can replace soya in diets for dairy cows, but optimum inclusion level of European wheat-DDGS (wDDGS) is unknown. Two batches of wDDGS from different UK bioethanol plants were fe... Read More about Inclusion of Wheat Dried Distillers’ Grains with Solubles from Bioethanol Plants in Diets for Dairy Cows.

Journal of Trace Elements in Medicine and Biology, 59, Article 126453. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtemb.2020.126453

Background. Dairy products provide a crucial source of dietary iodine for the majority of the UK population, contributing approximately 30-40 % of daily intake. Fluctuations in the iodine content of purchased milk both seasonally and annually implies...

© 2019 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Genomic selection has been proposed for the mitigation of methane (CH4) emissions by cattle because there is considerable variability in CH4 emissions between individuals fed on the same diet....

Journal Article
Bell, M. J., Saunders, N., Wilcox, R., Homer, E., Goodman, J., Craigon, J., & Garnsworthy, P. (2014). Methane emissions among individual dairy cows during milking quantified by eructation peaks or ratio with carbon dioxide. Journal of Dairy Science, 97(10), 6536-6546. https://doi.org/10.3168/jds.2013-7889

The aims of this study were to compare methods for examining measurements of CH4 and CO2 emissions of dairy cows during milking and to assess repeatability and variation of CH4 emissions among individual dairy cows. Measurements of CH4 and CO2 emissi... Read More about Methane emissions among individual dairy cows during milking quantified by eructation peaks or ratio with carbon dioxide.

Variation in enteric methane emissions among cows on commercial dairy farms (2014)
Journal Article

Methane (CH4) emissions by dairy cows vary with feed intake and diet composition. Even when fed on the same diet at the same intake, however, variation between cows in CH4 emissions can be substantial. The extent of variation in CH4 emissions among d...
