Best Answer

The type of feed that can be used to feed cattle is normally not for increasing the quantity of milk, but rather quality. However, good-quality feed high in calcium, phosphorus, energy, protein and other essential nutrients may be able to help increase milk quantity in dairy cattle. Certainly good to excellent-quality feed will increase milk production than poor-quality feed, but feed for dairy cows can only get so high before you reach a certain point where you can't get any higher. At that point you need to rely on your cows and the genetics for milking ability in your cows to produce the maximum amount of milk in your dairy operation as possible.

As to the answer to this question, there is no definitive answer since the type of forage species used for dairy feed differ from country to country, state/province to state/province.
