The letter K indicates that the food is Kosher-that is, it also complies with Jewish dietary laws and has been processed under the direction of a rabbi. The Hebrew word Kosher means permitted according to Torah Law. When you see these letters, they mean that the product does not contain anything from an animal or pork origin. But it still may contain alcohol. So please check labels. It is recommended, however, to read labels before buying food products. Read the ingredients on the food labels and understand the meaning of every ingredient.
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.airy cows usually eat about 100 lbs of feed a day, beef cows about 30-50% of this amount depending on the type of feed.
As a general guide, a mature cow will consume 10kg dry matter (DM) grass in the first week after calving. This should rise by 1kg per week for eight weeks into lactation, when daily feed intake reaches a plateau (Figure 1). First calving heifers will eat 1.5-2kg less grass DM than mature cows, reducing average daily grass demand by around 0.5kg per cow during spring. DM Intake of Mature Cow For herds that reach peak production of around 2.0kg milk solids per day (27kg milk), the daily deficit in energy before maximum grass intake is achieved equates to 3-4kg high energy concentrate per day where high quality grass is available.
