What is the mode of feeding in cow?

Answer 1

This all depends on where they live, how they are raised, what they are fed and how they are fed. Normally cattle will graze for several hours during the daytime, then loiter around chewing the cud for a couple of hours before going out to graze again. Cattle can see during the night so they will also often be out grazing at night, though most of the time they spend the time resting.

Some cattle do not have the luxury of being able to go out and graze, so they have to depend on the routine schedule of when they will be fed. Cattle in the feedlot are often fed twice a day, and when they are fed that's the time to eat. During the winter months, in areas where snow and cold hinder the ability of cattle to graze, they are also fed or, in some areas, winter grazed on swaths of forage or bales of hay. Most ranches and farms that feed their cattle in the winter or bale/swath graze then only do it once a day or once every two to three days. Cattle still have their own routines of when they get up to eat and when they sleep.

What time heavily-pregnant cows are fed can determine when they will calve out. Often feeding at night will encourage cows to calve during the daytime, making it easier for the producer to go and check on his/her cows.
