∙ 9y agoYes; it provides the nutrition cows need to produce milk. Without adequate nutrition, a cow can't produce much milk, if any at all. However, grass alone doesn't have to be the one helping cows produce milk. Dairy cows are fed a total mixed ration that includes legumes like alfalfa, clover, sanfoin, grains like corn, barley or oats, and hay that is or can be a high-quality grass-legume mix. A total mixed ration contains all of the nutrients a dairy cow needs for both milk production and maintenance of her own body weight and health.
