(Table 2). Martel et al. (2011) found no effect of dietary molasses (up to 5% of the diet DM) on DMI of lactating cows, which agrees with our findings.
Similarly, Morales et al.(1989) found no effect of cane molasses (up to 8% of diet DM) on DMI of lactating cows fed 60% alfalfa haylage.
Broderick and Radloff (2004) reported that feeding a diet containing 3% liquid molasses improved DMI of lactating cows, whereas feeding a diet with 4% dried molasses had no effect.
