Book Description
Excerpt from Heavy Vs. Light Grain Feeding for Dairy Cows Table IX presents the results obtained With the individual cows included on the experiment on going from heavy to light grain feeding, and vice Versa. The results obtained in this experiment go in the same direction as those of the preceding ones, but the advantage from the heavy over the light grain feeding is more marked than in these, viz., an increase of 14% in the production of milk and 9% in the production of butterfat as a result of feeding a little over a ton more grain, With possible minor changes in the amounts of roughage eaten by the cows. The possible causes of this more pronounced reaction than that obtained in either of the previous experiments cannot be fully discussed here, but it may be suggested that it may be due to the relatively larger amount of grain fed on this experiment or a somewhat poorer quality of roughage fed to the cows, especially silage. It is plain that even in this case the cost of the extra grain fed is great er than What the increase in butterfat would bring even at retail prices, so that the result of this experiment alone furnishes no argument in favor of a heavy system of grain feeding.
