Holstein Friesian cows typically consume more feed than Jersey cows due to their larger size and higher milk production demands. On average, a Holstein may eat around 50-60 pounds of dry matter per day, while a Jersey, being smaller, usually consumes about 30-40 pounds. The difference in feed intake reflects their respective sizes and nutritional needs for optimal milk yield.
