ing Our Horizons: Canadian Farm

THE DAIRY MENU
Dairy producers can increase pro-
ductivity by paying attention to the or-
der in which feeds are offered to their
cows, according to Agriculture Canada
research.
When forage is fed before grains,
scientists suggest, the makeup of the
grain mixture should be different than if
the order is reversed.0
