During
spring, Australian dairy pastures may be lacking in
neutral detergent fibre (NDF). This research examined
if inclusion of ensiled red (RGM) or white (WGM)
grape marc in a diet composed principally of perennial
ryegrass would influence milk production and decrease
methane emissions of dairy cows during early lactation.
We hypothesised that because both types of
grape marc have similar concentrations of major
components such as NDF, lignin and lipids, the
effects on milk production and methane emissions
would be similar for both types of grape marc
