Grinding feed efficiently lowers costs and raises returns
Ralph G. Lar of the University of Illinois argues that grinding feed coarsely can cut costs when power is high. Experiments show fine grinding uses 3 to 8 times more power than coarse grinding, but hammer mills offer some advantages. Coarse grinding typically yields higher net returns in cattle feeding, while finer grinding can reduce palatability and feed efficiency.
