Abstract

The present work aimed to evaluate the effects of distinct feeding strategies of forage cactus based diets on the ingestive behavior of lactating holstein cows. Five cows, with 83 days in milk and 540 kg of live weight, were assigned to a 5x5 Latin Square design, to the followinge feeding strategies: total mixed ration = TMR; separated ingredients = SI; sorghum silage + concentrate and separate forage cactus = S+C/FC; forage cactus + concentrate and separated sorghum silage = FC+C/S; forage cactus + sorghum silage and separated concentrate = FC+S/C. There were no effects of the feeding strategies on the time spent feeding and resting. The cows spent more time ruminating and chewing when the sorghum silage were mixed with other ingredient
