Feeding systems for dairy herds from 1967 study
Dr Foreman outlines three feeding approaches green chop feeding, stored feeding and strip grazing. Green chop uses annual crops for pasture intake with higher per acre yield, suitable for large herds. Stored feeding follows year round program, emphasizes equipment use and storage. All systems aim for similar milk per cow, but vary milk per acre and dependence on weather and machinery.
