As the National Dairy farm magazine, Hoard's Nutrition E-source provides information to dairy herd owners on proper nutrition for high producing dairy cows. Feeding additives and balancing diets for young stock and milking cows is important. Efficient ration formulation maximizes production while meeting all the nutrient requirements of the lactating cow.
