Overview

Excerpt from The Value of Barley for Cows Fed Alfalfa There is reason to believe, therefore, that the increase in the body weight which came as the result of feeding barley to the cows on both experiments described in the preceding has an important bearing on the usefulness of the cows in the dairy, and that it would tend both to increase the flow of milk during the following lactation period and cause the cows to produce milk of the highest fat content of which they are capable. As in the case of the residual influence of grain feeding, the evidence at hand is not Sufficient to give a definite figure for the improvement wrought in either case, but it may be safely assumed that both factors are more or less important in the manage ment of dairy herds, and that the influence of the grain feeding to cows on alfalfa does not cease when this is discontinued. The economy of this system of feeding cannot therefore be determined by comparing the value of, the increase in production during the actual period of grain feeding with the cost of the amount of grain consumed.
