During the experiment, cows were confined to the barn (no grazing) and were fed ensiled forages and additional concentrates.
At the beginning of the experiment, cows were 556 ± 39.8 kg of body weight and 100 ± 62.6 d in milk.
In each Experiment, cows were randomly assigned to treatment in a 2 × 2 crossover design with 28 d (Experiment 1) or 35 d (Experiment 2) experimental periods.
For each cohort within an experiment, cows were classified as high RFI (HRFI; >0.5 SD), medium RFI (MRFI; ±0.5 SD), and low RFI (LRFI; <−0.5 SD).
In the second experiment, cows were fasted for 3 h before the morning feeding to induce consumption of a large meal to mimic conditions that might be associated with unplanned delayed feeding.
In the first experiment, cows (n = 14) were individually given access to two commercially available water troughs that differed in height (30 cm versus 60 cm) and size (126 cm × 68 cm versus 139 cm × 95 cm), but were otherwise similar.
