...Feeding system did not significantly influence ruminal pH levels, which reached the lowest value at 3 h after feeding, and increased thereafter as has been observed in other studies (Briggs et al., 1957; Reid et al., 1957; Smith et al., 1974; Fan et al., 2002)....

...Fan et al. (2002) compared three feeding strategies: roughage fed ad libitum along with concentrate fed either twice (2C) or four times daily (4C), and TMR. Milk yield and 4% FCM yield were highest for 4C (p 5 0.05)....

...Our results seem also to corroborate the finding by Fan et al. (2002) and Cao et al. (2010), who showed similar pH values in ruminally fistulated dairy cows fed TMR or diet ingredients separately, with administered diets characterized by a F:C †Probability: ***P ≤ 0.001; **P ≤ 0.01; *P ≤ 0.05; ns,…...

...Factors such as high ambient temperature, increase of heat increment (HI) by feeding more roughage, and increase of physiological activities for more milk production altogether make cows suffering from high milk yield in more extent (Johnson and Vanjonack, 1976)....
