Extra Grain Recommended for Dairy Cows at Conference
At the Formula Feed Conference at Kansas State University researchers say most dairymen can profitably feed more grain to their better cows. Concentrates now account for one third of the total ration by weight and up to 50 to 60 percent on an energy basis. Michigan studies show some herds averaging over 5,000 pounds of grain per cow annually. Higher grain yields and lower grain prices drive the trend toward heavier concentrate feeding.
