Feeding Dairy Cattle 



have been followed by corresponding periods when the 



amount and quality have been below normal. 



Some positive results have been obtained by feeding a 

 large amount of oil and fat in the ration. These experiments 

 also have been attended without permanent results which 

 would influence one to recommend definite procedure even 

 for a short ti^ne test. 



In conclusion the author must confess that he sees little 

 hope for any method for really increasing the fat percentage 

 in milk, except through breeding and feeding to produce 

 cows nearer the ideal that is held for the breed in question. 

 The true method to get cows with high records is to breed 

 for size and capacity, and perhaps if that is the desire and 

 ideal of the breed, to select for a higher percentage of fat.
