Feed for broiler layer an cattle?

They all get different types of feed. Cattle cannot be fed animal-byproducts of any sort, but chickens can. Layers need to be fed grain that is high in calcium and phosphorus and protein. Broilers are fed feed high in protein and energy to increase muscle mass. CHickens can be fed a variety of grains: barley, corn, wheat, rye, etc. and live off of this with no problems. Cattle can also be fed a variety of grains, but need a roughage diet to balance out the high-protein ration to decrease the incidence of bloat and acidosis. Cattle cannot live off of grain like chickens can, and need to eat grass and/or hay along with the serving of grain they get.

Do moo cows eat grass?

They eat legumes, like alfalfa, laspedenza, trefoil, cicer milkvetch and clover, but these are primarily found on pasture or in hay. All other feeds fed to cattle, from grain to silage to hay, is all made from grasses. Ninety-eight percent of grains fed to cattle come from species of grass that has been modified to produce high volumes of seeds. These grasses are barley, wheat, corn, rye, triticale, sorghum and millet, to name a few. Even though most people believe that the feeding of grain to cattle is not feeding them grass because they are being fed the seeds portion of the plant and not the vegetative portion, these grains still come from grasses. So, ultimately, the answer is pretty well no.
