The American Dairyman notes that milk yield mirrors fodder changes like a thermometer to temperature but urges caution. While certain foods like cottonseed meal can boost yield, they may cause disease or affect taste, color, or texture of butter. Record cow performance and trace changes to true causes, not just feed.
