Dairy Cows Do Well Feeding In 1948 Report
Dairy cows fared better in feed rations last year, with record grain and concentrate intake averaging 1,758 pounds per animal. Regional totals ranged from 2,138 pounds in the North Atlantic to 1,329 pounds in the South Central, and per milking output averaged 3.2 pounds of grain per 100 pounds of milk. The national ration was 32 percent corn, 28 percent commercial feeds, 23 percent oats, 4 percent barley, 3 percent wheat millfeeds, and 1 percent soy products and others. Pastures were only fair, among the poorest since 1948, while ketosis cases showed improvement with calcium lactate drench in a Washington State College study.
