Dairy yields rise with better feeding for cows
University of Illinois research shows improvements in dairy cow feeding could lift yields by up to 60 percent, with some herds nearly doubling profits as milk output increases. Higher producers use more of their feed for milk, while poorer cows require more feed per output, suggesting immediate profits from improved rations and longer-term gains from better cows.
