Feed for Profit in Dairy Herd Management
The U S Department of Agriculture notes that cows vary in feed efficiency and profitability. By recording each cow's daily feed and milk output, dairymen identify which cows respond to more feed and yield greater profits. Some cows produce high milk without heavy feeding, while others overeat with little gain. Study individual cows to find the unprofitable point of grain increases and keep production and feed records to guide decisions.
