Pasture and Grain for High Milk Yields
Extension dairy specialist J C Nisbet explains that high producing cows cannot meet energy needs on pasture alone. Green pasture is protein rich but low in digestible nutrients. a grain mix of corn oats and cottonseed meal is needed, and feeding rates depend on milk output and fat production. Abundant pasture remains crucial for dairy cows’ energy balance.
