Dairy Feeding Methods Reduce Flavors
The U S Department of Agriculture notes milk flavors and odors come from cow condition feeds absorbed barn air or biological changes. Feeding highly flavored feeds shortly before milking sharply taints milk, while some greens have minor effects or none. Cabbage and silage from corn or alfalfa fed within an hour before milking can ruin milk flavor and odor.

Grain Should Be Given Before Roughage Is Fed
Farmers who feed grain with silage or alfalfa hay in winter should give grain before roughage. Benefits include maintaining production, better grain intake, more milk and butterfat, and higher overall output. Typical rations: one pound grain per three pounds milk, four to six pounds for heifers, eight to twelve for mature cows, plus hay and silage per cow weight.
Improved Feed Methods Always Most Profitable
The selection of economical feeds and rationing to match each cow's production are key to economical feeding. Prices fluctuate, so choose feeds by cost per pound of digestible nutrients. Roughage is usually cheaper for nutrients, and high protein feeds like cottonseed meal and oil meal provide digestible protein more cheaply than corn or oats.
Tie Herd Bull Kept Away From Herd Until Fall
