What is a dairy cow's food types and habitat?

Most dairy cattle live in barns throughout the year, especially those that are producing milk. Those that are not producing milk but pregnant are either out in a corral or, if its summer time, out on pasture. When they are in a barn or corral environment, they are fed a high-nutritive ration of feed consisting of fermented cereal-grain or grass and legumes (also called silage), grain, and/or hay, if necessary.

The lactating cows are fed more of a silage-grain mix ration because of the high needs for high-quality forages. Dry cows are fed either baleage (fermented feedstuffs compacted in a bale), or out on pasture feeding on green grass. Most heifers are pastured over the summer and fed baleage in the winter before they are set to be bred.

The type of silage differs with every farmer: where corn is abundant, they are fed corn silage and/or grain corn. Where barley is abundant, barley silage is also a good quality feed, as well as grain. Baleage can consist grasses from timothy, orchard grass, fescue and brome to fescue, coastal, oatgrass, and other warm-season grasses grown in the South.

Some dairy farmers like to mix in legumes in the feed to increase protein and calcium content; legumes such as alfalfa, clover, lentils, soybeans, etc.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
