- Dairy Science
There is no other farm animal whose output reflects the quality of forage as much as a lactating dairy cow. Even high-quality alfalfa does not suppy enough digestible dry matter: you still need to use some type of grain and protein supplement. When you come right down to it, if you want top milk production, there is no substitute for young, bright-green alfalfa. Can't you just smell that pleasant freshly-cut-grass aroma without a hint of mustiness? Check the Net, where you can milk the dairy science resources for all they are worth.
