Low Feed Cost Ideas Listed
Purdue extension dairyman G A Williams notes that grain costs about half of milk production. Increasing milk per pound of concentrates is possible on many farms, but fresh cows six months or more respond little to heavy grain feeding. A three to five ratio of grain to milk in early lactation is discussed, with emphasis on adequate roughage and protein to sustain production.
