At NutriDense, when we talk about dairy cow nutrition we generally focus on corn silage. While we recommend that corn silage comprise the majority of the total mixed ration, we respect the necessity of other ingredients such as co-products.
Listen in to this podcast to hear Jerry Weigel, manager of nutrition and technical service, discuss co-products and their role in a dairy cow’s diet.
