Show Feeding Will Regulate Quantity of Milk Flow The question of the richness of the milk has received much attention by experiment stations In this country and in Europe, and the evidence is conclusive that the fat percentage of the milk cannot be changed permanently perma-nently by any method of feeding. Certain Cer-tain experiments have shown that sudden sud-den changes In the ration, for example, exam-ple, greatly Increasing the protein or oil content of the ration, may result in a small fat Increase for a few days with some cows, with others no effect is produced. In any case the results are only temporary. No ration or method of feeding has been found by means of which a Shorthorn or Hol-steln Hol-steln can be made to give milk as rich as that of a Jersey or Guernsey. However, the feed and management does not have a marked influence on the quantity of milk produced by the cow. The amount of milk a cow produces pro-duces depends upon the ability of the cow to convert feed Into milk and butterfat but-terfat and upon the feed and 6are a cow receives. No cow can be made to produce milk above her capacity, no matter what kind of feed she gets nor fcw much. 1 |
