Extract

1. An experiment has been carried out with dairy cows to find whether feeding the same ration in different ways has any effect on milk yield or milk composition.

2. No differential effect on milk yield or milk composition of the three methods of feeding which were used could be demonstrated, in spite of an extremely accurate experimental technique. It was therefore concluded that there is no advantage in increasing the number of meals into which a ration is divided, or spreading the ration over a longer period.
