Feeding Strategies, Part 3 - How to implement it

A densified grain mix strategy is often implemented in component fed herds using a “two feed” system; i.e. a protein mix and an energy mix. Most dairy farmers find this approach lets them manage protein intakes differently based on stage flactation, and can be especially useful when cows are on well managed pasture. While a two feed system is the most flexible, it is possible to employ the nutrient densification strategy with a one feed system.
