Best Answer

No. She needs to stop and rest to chew cud and lay down for an hour or more before going back to eating again. She does this every 2 to 4 hours, every day, depending on her routine schedule. She also needs to take time off to find and drink water, socialize with other cows, etc. If she's a dairy cow, she also takes time off to go to the milk parlour to get milked out. If she's a beef cow with a calf, she needs to take the time to allow her calf to nurse.

Should you eat algae directly or feed it to a cow?

Humans don't digest all plant material very well. If you can get nutrition out of it, it's more efficient if you can eat the plant material directly. If you have to feed it to a cow, and then eat the cow, a lot of the nutrition will be lost in the transition. But if you can't get nutrition out of it, and the cow can, then feeding it to a cow would be sensible.
