Dairy Tips By Dr. John Clark Are your cows chewing their cud enough? The nature of a dairy cow is to eat large volumes of pasture, go off in a shady place, lie down and chew it’s cud. The high producing cow we feed today, however, does not get that luxury. We feed her for top production which requires higher amounts of energy than she can get from roughage. When energy, in the form of grains, is forced upon her to maximize produc tion, she may not eat enough roughage to get sufficient cud chewing. A cow should spend about 15 minutes chewing her cud for every pound of dry matter intake. Or, at least 50% of your cows should be chewing their cud or eating whenever you look at them. If not, more fiber or dry roughage should be formulated into their ration.
