WHAT’S IN A MIXED FEED?

[National Crop Improvement Service;] A high-grade mixed feed suitable for any kind or breed of dairy cow should have high protein content, with an exact digestible analysis. It can be mixed with corn, oats, barley, hay or other forage, which should be grown upon the farm, provided the mixture would save the farmer any money. As a rule, the-ingredients of the highest grades are corn, distillers’ grains, gluten feed, cottonseed meal, hominy meal, malt sprouts, brewers’ grains, linseed meal, pure wheat bran and salt. The best grades contain no cheap fillers of any kind and so the food is highly concentrated and roughage can be supplied at home.
