Agriculture Today outlines dairy feed practices. Introduce new or damaged grains gradually, mix damaged with sound grain if possible, and allow liberal straw. For 1000 pound cows, daily intake 20 to 21 pounds. If using urea as a protein substitute, mix thoroughly with grain portion. Grind or roll grain coarsely. Frozen grains are acceptable.
