Abstract

The goal of every dairy herdsman should be to provide the right amount of feed for the right cow at the right time. This should maximize profits while minimizing metabolic problems. The most difficult problem is to change the feeding program of cows from that which meets the needs of dry cows to a program that meets the needs of cows producing at very high levels.
