Feeding Dairy Cattle Grain Based on Individual Milk Output
New Jersey extension dairyman R G Connelly says common grain rules overfeed low producers and underfeed high producers. Department trials show Jerseys and Holsteins can produce 10 to 16 pounds of milk daily with no grain when fed silage and unlimited alfalfa, with grain for milk above thresholds varying by butterfat content to match individual production. This apportionment aims for economical feeding aligned to each cow’s yield.
