INCREASE IN MILK YIELD

Milk yields are increased by more frequent feed intake, as their mammary glands are regularly stimulated, which stimulates milk production.

Multiple feeding allows cows to have access to more feed throughout the day, which increases their energy intake. In turn, greater energy availability increases milk production. At the same time, they get more of the available nutrients needed for milk production itself.

Regular and frequent feeding can contribute to better nutrient absorption in the gastrointestinal tract of cows, as more frequent feed intake helps to improve the gastrointestinal tract. Better utilisation of nutrients from feed leads to increased milk production.

Regular and frequent feeding reduces stress in cows. Less stress leads to better cow health and well-being, which in turn increases milk production.
