A feeding trial was carried out with two diets which differed in the main fibrous component of the ration: Asparagus browse versus artichoke bracts silage. Twenty-four Holstein cows were selected and a crossover design was used with two periods of 21 days each. The objective of the study was to determine the effect of feeding artichoke bracts silage on production of confined dairy cattle. Individual milk production (kg/day) and its composition based on total solids (%), fat (%) and protein (%) levels were evaluated. Additionally, blood urea nitrogen concentration was evaluated. Cows produced more milk fed with artichoke silage (38.7 kg/day) than from asparagus browse in the feed (31.0 kg/day), without affecting total solids, protein or fat content of milk or blood urea nitrogen. It is concluded that artichoke bracts silage has good prospect to be included in dairy rations.
