Dairyman Credits Cups for Boost in Milk Yield
A New York dairyman credits in-barn drinking cups with boosting daily milk and butterfat records. Each cup serves two cows, attached to the feeding rack between stanchions, fed from a ceiling tank via an electric pump. Cows drink more frequently, aided by constant access and warmer water in winter, improving overall production.

Eight cows were tested. ground hay did not raise milk or butterfat output and cows refused more ground hay. Grinding cost $7 per ton, representing 20 to 26 percent of the hay’s market value on the average farm.
