Special Feeding to Increase Butter Fat in Milk
An extended series by Zadock Pratt of Greene County New York shows that continuous special feeding for butter raises butter fat in milk. Five-year tests from 1857 to 1861 used corn oats and buckwheat winter, grass in summer, and fall fodder. milk yield stayed steady while butter yield improved. The cow’s intake must exceed basic needs to profit from milk production, with a mixed diet and diverse pasture enhancing yield. Green corn fed as an auxiliary supports short pastures but should not be fed alone.
