I am not a cow, still found my mouth watering 🤣

Some mild hating on the dairy industry here. Let's set things out then. It is in the best interests of any working dairy (or anyone looking to get milk from a cow on a regular basis) that the cows be as healthy as possible. That involves regular freedom of movement, clean and safe areas of shelter, adequate water, and as demonstrated in this video, proper food. On top of all this, regular veterinary services are included to keep the cows strong. When the video says 'byproducts', generally it means things that are trash to humans because we can't use or eat them...but cows can. There are a lot of things cattle can eat that would do us no good at all. For instance, cotton seed. It's no good to us since we can't digest it. Likewise with silage. Silage is generally the grass portion of grains we can't eat. Almond shells....have any of you tried to eat one? Yet cows gain fiber from it that our bodies can't proces. A final word about this process as opposed to grazing 'on the range' as it were; This setup is far better from the perspective of the cows than 'free range grazing.' 1. The diet is more consistent, and overall, more balanced. 2. It's easier to check on the health of the herd at any given time, as needed. 3. There are a lot of things NOT in this arrangement that could harm/kill the cows, like coyotes, prairie dog holes, snakes...and there would be no way to know anything happened until the body is found. If you're going to watch a video about things you have no direct experience with, have the common sense to realize there's something to learn here. A dairy farm gains nothing from harming, abusing, or injuring their cows.

Great Video Jason, Interesting obviously these cows never leave the barn! There were some pretty expensive ingredients being dumped on the concrete, thanks for sharing

Very cool...thanks for sharing

it is interesting complete feed ration/balanced ration preparation

That was a great video. Could you give me the proportion of the ingredients that you used in the pre-mix? Regards

@samkom33

Жыл бұрын

most dairy farms take samples of all their feed, say hay - silage - corn and so on,, and send to laboratorys that measure the feed value. so that the farm, and ore the feed expert can create different TMR mixes depending on which cycle the cows are in.. IF you fed say a ration ment for a milking cow that give 100 pound of milk a day to a cow that had stopd produsing milk, you soon would end up with a SUPERFAT COW THAT COULDNT WALK. 😁 So many-most farms usually make several batches each feeding usually at least 2 one milk cow tmr with a lot of nutrients-protein++ like i the video while dry cows manage with mostly only silage-hay-straw and a little bucket of minerals-salt and if they have calfs they mix a growing ration, and so on.

Corn silage and alfalfa hay would be ideal, but this is all about using surplus available ingredients to extend the inventory of limited premium forages. In California corn silage and alfalfa can be expensive and difficult to source at times. There are lots of other unconventional options that can be used by a nutritionist to make a high quality balanced TMR.

I grew up on a dairy, and horse farm, and if someone tried to give this crap to our cow or horses my dad would reached for the horse whip. No wonder our milk tastes strange, what the fuck would prompt a farmer to use ground up straw as an additive! Cows and horses can not digest straw, and don't get me started on the corn silage. You can go into any corn field and find undecomposed corn stalks from the previous year's harvest. So to summarize, how the fucking hell will a chopped corn stalks break down in an animals stomach. Word. They don't!!!!! On the farm the cows spent all day eating good green grass, and when they came to the barn to be milked they would get a coffee can of a mixture of cracked corn, oats, and hint of molasses for taste. And let me tell you we had the sweetest milk and cream in the county. So to finish, I wouldn't give this farmers milk to pig, well maybe if it were mixed with some cracked corn, but I sure as hell wouldn't drink it on a bet!! What the cow eats comes through in the milk, dumb ass!! Anybody that has grown up on a farm knows that from the early age when you first stepped in a cow pie barefoot!!
