Do jersey cow eat a lot?
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.
How much feed does a beef cow eat?

How many tons of food does 1 cow eat per day?
Certainly not much, especially if you are going in terms of tons, not pounds (lbs). A 1000 lb cow with or without a calf will eat 25 lbs DM of forage per day. This amount changes with moisture content, so if the grass she eats has a 60% moisture content, she'll eat maybe around 40 lbs of grass per day, as fed. In terms of tons, that's 0.02 tons per day. If you were looking for a much bigger or grandioso number for how much a cow eats per day, it looks like you're plumb outta luck!

How many kg of grass can a 400 kg cow eat in a day?
On average a cow will consume 2% of her body weight in dry matter per day. Grass is usually 85% water (hence 15% dry matter). Thus, the calculations are as follows: 400 kg x 0.02 = 8 kg DM 8 kg DM / 0.15 DM in grass = 53.33 kg of grass as-fed per day. Thus you can estimate a 400 kg cow may eat around 53 kg of grass per day.

Would a mouse dehydrate faster than a cow?
Yes. Mice have a much higher metabolic rate than a cow does, which means a mouse has to eat more per body weight than a cow to keep it alive and able to move around. We have to look at how much a mouse and a cow drink on a per-body weight basis to see whether a mouse will or will not dehydrate faster than a cow will. We cannot compare how much a cow drinks or a mouse drinks per day in terms of gross volume, since these are unreliable numbers to work with. Thus, typically a mouse will drink 15% to 20% of its body weight in water per day. A cow, on the other hand, will drink 7 to 10% of her body weight in water per day. This is a huge difference, and shows that mice indeed will dehydrate faster than a cow will.
