Milk production data are presented in Table 5. Milk
and FCM production were 1.2 kg/d (P < 0.02) and 1.5
kg/d higher (P < 0.001), respectively, for processed
WPCS diets versus control. Higher milk production for
processed WPCS has been reported by others (13, 14,
15). Processing WPCS at black-layer maturity increased
milk production 0.9 kg/d versus unprocessed
WPCS, but FCM yield was not affected (14). The TMR
with processed WPCS had a higher estimated NEL content
(1.55 Mcal/kg) than TMR with unprocessed WPCS
(1.45 Mcal/kg) when WPCSwas harvested at two-thirds
