	abstract = {This study evaluated feeding behaviour, dry matter intake (DMI), rumen fermentation and milk production responses of lactating
dairy cows supplemented with kale or swedes. Twelve multiparous early lactation dairy cows were randomly allocated to three
dietary treatments in a replicated 3 x 3 Latin square. The control diet comprised 10 kg dry matter (DM) of grass silage, 4 kg
DM of grass pasture and 8.8 kg DM of concentrate; 25\% of the diet was replaced with kale or swedes. Cows supplemented with
kale showed a lower DMI compared to cows supplemented with swedes and the control diet; whereas swedes supplementation
increased eating time. Milk production responses were not affected by winter brassica supplementation. This resulted in a greater
feed conversion efficiency of cows supplemented with kale compared to that of the control diet.},
