Nutritious Feeding for Dried Off Cows Before Freshening
Guidance from the Pennsylvania Experiment Station outlines feeding a dry period for cows before freshening. It recommends reducing silage to 20 pounds and grain to four pounds daily during drying, with hay amounts unchanged. After drying, gradually increase grain until the week before freshening, then in the last week place the cow in a box stall with reduced grain and a ration of equal parts wheat bran and ground oats or chopped with alfalfa hay and mangels. After parturition avoid milking for two days except by the calf, offer tepid water for several days, and feed clover hay mangels bran and oats to restore normal function within a few days. The third day, return the cow to her stall.
