Re: Average hay consumption. A cow needs about 3 per cert of its body weight in roughage a day, a 1000 lb cow needs 30 lbs of hay if it has no other source of roughage.
As a general rule, cows can eat about 1.5 to 2% of their body weight in NDF and that is the way we balance the ration with a computer. Dairy cows usually eat about 100 lbs of feed a day, beef cows about 30-50% of this amount depending on the type of feed.Dairy cows eat dry hay and haylage (fermented hay) and this account for about 30 lbs of their intake if quality is good. Beef cows would eat more hay and less starch so they could eat 15-20 lbs.s a general rule, cows can eat about 1.5 to 2% of their body weight in NDF and that is the way we balance the ration with a computer.
