[QUOTE="farmerjan, post: 1669331, member: 25884"] A good dairy cow ration is not just protein.... or just 3 ingredients. It has a balanced mineral "pack" that will provide the micro essentials that will keep a dairy cow's body in balance. If you are feeding for more production than she will make on just hay and pasture, then you have got to balance her ration or you will wind up with breeding problems, or ketosis or displaced abomasum's or any of a dozen other things that can get thrown out of whack. Gluten is cheaper for a reason. It is a byproduct. And in one thread discussed on CT there are several comments about the taste that the gluten gives to the meat. I think that there might be the same effect in the milk? Feed some high quality alfalfa hay and cut the grain a little bit. [/QUOTE]
