Abstract
The study evaluated the effects of replacing whole-plant grass silage with ensiled grass pulp on dairy cow performance and enteric methane emissions. Using a controlled feeding experiment with 40 cows, the results showed reduced dry matter intake but maintained milk production and similar methane intensity due to improved feed efficiency in cows fed pulp. These findings highlight the potential for grass pulp as a viable forage component in green biorefinery value chains.

Abstract
Presentation of preliminary findings from a feed trial conducted winter 2024, where the effect of feeding lactating dairy cows a 100% ensiled grass pulp diet was measured on production parameters, GHG-emissions, behaviour and metabolic markers, compared to regular whole plant silage from the same ley and harvest dates
