From Florida to California, the ingredients found in a cow’s diet can not only vary by geography, but also by season.
With the help of professional nutritionists, it’s very common for dairy farmers across the country to routinely feed their cows byproducts from the processing of other foods and fibers. The use of these byproducts is endorsed by animal nutritionists who work with dairy farmers on creating optimal diets for cows.
For example, the cows at Matt Lussier’s Florida dairy farm have quite a taste for citrus pulp. In fact, this byproduct of Florida’s citrus industry is a cow feed staple on most of the state’s dairies.
