EBERSOL Stumptown Road Rl, Bird-in-Hand, Penna. How Much TDN Is In Your Dairy Feed? What difference does it Make? Well, if after feeding a 1400 pound cow, 10 lbs of hay and 30 lbs. of silage she still needs 15 lbs. of TDN, how much of your feed will it take? Most grind and mix rations are about 71% TDN. It would take 21.1 lbs of this feed to do the job It would only take 19.7 lbs. of a 76% TDN feed. Would you like to know what the TDN m your feed is? We believe there is more to feeding a dany cow than a dab of this and a dash of that. We would like to share our find ings with you. CALL YOUR PIONEER MAN: S ELMER M.
