Drenches should ONLY be given to cows that are sick, cannot eat or are bloated.

What is the importance of fodder crops to livestock?

Fodder crops are incredibly important to livestock, especially cattle. Feeding cattle and grazing them ultimately depends on the production of forage crops because these animals will not nor can not eat anything else. Cattle are herbivores and designed to eat plants that are impossible for us humans to eat, so in order for us to get beef and milk from these animals, we had--and have--to feed them according to what they can, will, and need to eat. Thus, no matter how or what cattle are fed, they all source from fodder crops.


How many tons of feed will it take to feed 50 cattle for a year?

It depends on the average size of the cattle. The amount of feed to feed cattle depend on their average weight and sex of cattle. Mature cows tend to eat more than weaned calves; young bulls eat more than steers, and steers tend to eat more than heifers. Older cattle eat more than younger cattle, and, thinner cattle eat more than fatter cattle. So with that, I cannot give you an accurate number.
