Sweet feed is feed that has added sugar, usually molasses, to it. It comes pelleted form or a textured form like what we call wet C.O.B. It can be any mixer of different forages and grains depending on the manufacture and the application it is made for. 1 wonderful husband.
Pull the sweet feed dish right away - you can not give free choice grain to a cow or they can get acidosis and die. Hi ulevels can cause sub acute ruminal acidosis and that can cause health problems months down the road.
