Cows Fed Corncobs Produce Less Milk
Don t try corncob rations for your dairy cattle if you want to keep them producing milk. Robert Fincham, extension dairyman at Town State College, warns that feeding corncobs with supplements cuts milk output. A recommended ration with hay includes ground ear corn, oats or bran, and a protein supplement, with about 70 pounds of cobs per 1000 pounds of ration.
