Iowa Station reports calf feed experiments showing calves prefer corn and oats to ground grain, dislike heating feed, and vary concentrate intake with milk type. Calves maintain a relatively stable neutral ration, consume more hay with age, and show interest in salt and charcoal. Water remains important. study notes potential for further research.
Regular feeding is urged to keep cows calm and promote milk yield. A nervous or poorly timed feeder reduces milk as digestive demand fails to respond to food, and careless handling disrupts herd flow, delaying recovery of milk production.

Concentrates like cottonseed meal and oil meal are cheapest protein sources. A rule of thumb: feed roughage to appetite then tailor grain to milk yield. Jersey cows get about one third as many pounds of grain as milk output, while Holstein cows get about one fourth.
