Hints Told To Increase Dairy Cow Production
County Extension Director John Johnson says thorough care during the dry period boosts milk output and calf health. H. H. Van Horn of Iowa State University stresses dry period management as vital as lactation care, recommending six weeks dry, brief grain stop, udder drying, and gradual return to feeding with high quality hay or silage. Thin cows should receive 12 to 18 pounds grain before freshening, then full feed after freshening.
