Since protein and energy are not adequate what can I add to the ration to meet the cow’s requirements?
There are a number of protein and energy supplements that can be used. Provide a good energy source such as cereal grains or good quality pellets or cubes. Protein can be supplemented by feeding canola meal, soybean meal, or beef protein supplements. If you decide to use pellets, request the nutrient analysis including both the protein and energy values of the product.
