Distributing TMR to a group of dairy cows. Total mixed ration (TMR) is a method of feeding beef and dairy cattle. A TMR diet achieves a wide distribution of nutrients in uniform feed rather than switching between several types. A cow's ration should include good quality forages, a balance of grains and proteins, vitamins and minerals. [1]
Forages may be fed based on weight, at a rate of about 1 lb (0.45 kg) of forage for every 100 lb (45 kg). [42] Forage, along with water and a salt and mineral block, is all most ponies require. If a hard-working pony needs concentrates, a ratio of no more than 30% concentrates to 70% forage is recommended. [ 30 ]
Forage harvesters can be implements attached to a tractor, [4] or they can be self-propelled units. In either configuration, they comprise a drum (cutterhead) or a flywheel [5] with a number of knives fixed to it that chops and blows the silage out of a chute of the harvester into a wagon that is either connected to the harvester or to another vehicle driving alongside.
roughages: grass pastures, or plant parts like hay, silage, root crops, straw, and stover. Diets given to different species are all not the same. For example, livestock animals are fed on a diet that consists mainly of roughages, while
Forage analysis is an integral part of modern animal production. Livestock managers require detailed information about the feedstuffs of their herds in order to best achieve production goals, whether they are concerned with economic efficiency, nutrient efficiency or maximum yields. [ 1 ]
"American Nightmare" victims Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn worked with two small-town law enforcement officials to get kidnapper Matthew Muller to confess to more cold case crimes.

Silage must be firmly packed to minimize the oxygen content, lest it spoil. Silage goes through four major stages in a silo: [14] Presealing, which, after the first few days after filling a silo, enables some respiration and some dry matter (DM) loss, but stops. Fermentation, which occurs over a few weeks.
