Dairy feed recommendations to reduce water pollution
- "Through on-farm research in Broome, Tioga and Delaware counties in New York, co-authors Michael Van Amburgh, professor of animal science, and Larry Chase, professor emeritus of animal science, found that farmers can feed cows less protein, maintain a cow’s milk-production output and reduce nitrogen in the manure, so that the nutrient does not run off into waterways and lakes. 'I call it a win-win. The dairy farmers win because the cow is more efficient and more profitable. Society wins because we’re now putting fewer nutrients back into the environment or into the water than we would have had we not made the adjustments,' said Chase." - Excerpt from Cornell Chronicle.
