What are the healthy food I should feed to my cow to get good and healthy milk?
Usually I get the cow food which is a kind of green grass for my cow, but the quality of milk she produces is not good compare to the one she used to give years ago.

Wow, cool post. I’d like to write like this too - taking time and real hard work to make a great article… but I put things off too much and never seem to get started. Thanks though. Meal prep delivery Fort Lauderdale

Dairy farmers and herd nutritionists aim for 50-60% of the diet as forage. Forage is simply plants that are consumed mainly by grazing livestock, like grass or hay.
There are two groups of forages: wet and dry. An example of wet forage is silage, (fermented forage). Commonly, silage on a dairy farm would consist of barley, corn or alfalfa. Dry forages are pasture (fresh forage) or high quality alfalfa hay, alfalfa-grass mix hay, grass hay or straw. Some dairy farmers will feed a mix of both silage and hay, while others might only feed silage or only feed hay, depending on the farm.
