What do DAIRY COWS eat in WINTER? An EXPERT talks.

Dairy cows have their own nutritionist! And our nutritionist - Mathew Van Dijk - joins us in this video to explain exactly what the Moat Grange cows have been eating every day over Winter, and why they need each ingredient.
Their diet includes home grown silage, fodder beet and whole crop as well as some bought in feeds too.
Not long until they're out at grass!! But for now they are loving this nutritious and delicious diet.
We hope you enjoy!

Cows like CAP'N CRUNCH in AM,noon Pea soup with saltines and supper Corn on the Cob smothered in molasses ? No bed time snacks turns the milk sour and spoils them!! Sorry I digress! From across the pond 🇨🇦😄

yes Silage has fermented carbohydrates & proteins & extremely necessary for metabolic energy of cows # Corn silage has more energy than alfa alfa or Sorghum silage # ❤️🇵🇰

didn't realise how much getting the silage right was.......there is a huge amount involved in producing a lovely pint of milk.....if only supermarkets actually recognised that!!!!

I know, it is critical!! You can understand why farmers get so stressed about getting the silage done 😆 Thank you for watching 🐄
