Short summary
The need to reduce the environmental impact from zootechnic productions and to avoid the exploitation of land resources is a current issue. For this reason, the study investigated the replacement of corn silage with triticale silage in the diet of mid-lactation dairy cows by evaluating blood and productive parameters. Diet did not affect blood and milk parameters, suggesting the feasibility of the replacement of corn silage by triticale silage in the diet of mid-lactation dairy cows.
