Water needs for cows during peak lactation
The article states cows in full milk require much more water, up to about 60 percent more than when dry, highlighting the link between protein intake and milk production. It notes that feed digestion produces fermentation products, with protein-rich feeds often costing more but yielding higher milk output. Home-grown grains can be traded for protein feeds, while oats are commonly demanded for horse feed but expensive for dairy use.

Wrong Feeding Methods.
An old National Crop Improvement Service tale warns against experimental feeding. It recalls a ship captain's medicine chest mix up leading to a fatal dose of mixed remedies and likens it to farmers overdoing cottonseed or oilseed meal in cattle rations. The piece cautions that both over and underfeeding harm livestock.

More Scientific Feeds From Machinery Boosts Yields
National Crop Improvement Service notes that mixing by byproducts like oat barley rye corn cotton seed flaxseed is unreliable without lab analysis. Historically, fraud and carelessness hurt farmers, but government and state stations plus manufacturers now ensure uniform feeds. Using scientifically prepared mixtures has doubled herd yields and profits, while home mixing remains inefficient and costly. A practical test shows eight tons of dairy feed replacing 144.3 tons of farm grease, saving about $20 per ton and returning three times as much fertilizer to the farm as grain would, supporting broader use of commercial feeds.
