The Best Dairy Feed by Prof F D Fuller
Prof F D Fuller explains why top dairy feeds cost less than farm grains. By products from mills and alcohol plants supply over 40 percent of high quality dairy feeds with dried grains from corn rye and barley offering high crude protein and fat. Cottonseed meal provides concentrated protein but requires balancing for bulk and is key in many prepared feeds.

Feeding choices and price impacts on farm rations
The article argues farmers should buy mixed feeds rather than own rations to avoid low quality. It notes cottonseed meal grades vary, inspectors rarely sample, and farmers lack analysis capability. It suggests reading college bulletins and considers cornmeal corn by products as costly due to meat demand.
Water needs for dairy cows and feed protein guidance
The article emphasizes cows in lactation require markedly more water, about 50 percent more, and discusses feed protein importance for milk production. It notes protein-rich feeds yield better milk, while starch feeds like corn and oats rise in price due to demand for working animals. Home-grown grains can be traded for protein feeds, with oats commonly used but often expensive for dairy rations.
