    This is quite interesting. Back in the 70s when I worked on a dairy farm we didn't do anything as complicated as this. We fed haylage with clover, chopped corn silage, and field corn all from harvestore silos. That was about it. I don't recall adding any other nutrients. The cows also grazed in a pasture all day.

    • @fezabaydur2821
      @fezabaydur2821 5 років тому +1

      That’s how feeding should be. It’s more complicated unnecessarily now and more costly.
      They should graze naturally on pasture

      Do they ever get to go outside? Get some sunshine. Eat fresh grass? Do they get to stay with their babies? Imagine that stress of having the baby ripped from you. Yes, animals have emotions too. I’ve seen new momma’s who have lost their calves mourn for days. Oh, yes. Healthier. Maybe. But I doubt it.
      I think this young man is doing a good job. I think his generation might bring back compassion to a stark environment. I know it’s about survival. But, at what cost is it, to humans and to the animals? Imho

      It is a rich ration but we make sure we don't push them to hard. Cow health is very important to us. We would have to most likely build a new barn if we wanted robots and that not happening any time soon. Plus I like milking and would rather work with people than computers!
