Another common factor is feeding high fat rations. A national survey by Texas A&M University showed that over 60% of top DHI producing U.S. herds feed high fat rations. Why feed high fat rations to dairy cows? Fat is the most energy-dense ingredient available, and energy is the nutrient that is most likely to limit peak milk yield and optimum breeding efficien cy. There are many sources of fat for use in dairy rations, with the major ones being high oil seeds (e.g. soybeans, whole cottonseed), tallow (animal origin), and dry fats. Cost, availability, quality, ease of use, palatabill ty and response all determine which type of fat souce is best for your herd.
