Best Answer

Yes. A typical lactating Jersey cow will eat 5% of her body weight per day in dry matter. In dry matter terms, a 1000 lb cow can eat upwards of 50 lbs per day. On an as-fed basis, that can range from 70 to 100 lbs per day.

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.
