ASC-134: Should You Be Feeding Fat to Your Cows
نویسنده
چکیده
Feeding fats to dairy cows has become increasingly popular primarily for two reasons: 1. Supplemental fat can be used to increase the energy concentration of diets for highproducing cows.

Fats are fed to cows: • to prevent them from losing too much weight, • to shorten the time frame during which they are losing weight, and • to help them regain weight lost in early lactation. 2. Feedstuffs high in fat have become more available and economical.
