Dairy Notes and Feeding Experiments at Purdue
Ground soy beans as a feed for growing dairy calves yielded nearly identical results with Unseed meal in Purdue University trials. Most bacteria in milk originate from dirty cows and utensils, while stables, air and surroundings add germs. Turnips rate better than carrots for dairy cows though carrots may be used. Cattle can live to fifteen if not slaughtered earlier. a cow often outlives usefulness by age ten.
