Dairy Cows Fed Regularly by TL Haecker
Feeding cows at fixed times reduces worry and promotes rest. Start with the grain mix while milking, as some cows yield more milk while eating. Feed cured roughage after milking to keep the barn air fresh, and provide succulents like silage and roots afterward. Two daily feedings yield better returns than more frequent, wasteful feeding.
Feeding and housing guidelines for dairy cows
The guidance prescribes splitting concentrates into morning and evening portions and gradually acclimating cows. In winter the cows should stay in the stall most of the day with a mid day rest period, avoid yard access or straw stacks, and ensure cows are not disturbed during the day. Feed only what will be eaten and keep mangers clean at all times.
