Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -As mature cows move from mid to late gestation, they need a 20 percent increase in crude protein intake and 16 percent increase in total digestible nutrient intake to keep up with increasing fetal growth. This need for additional nutrients is magnified once a cow calves and must produce milk for a calf.
Detailed explanation-2: -A pregnant cow needs plenty of grain to meet her energy needs and the needs of her growing calf. Grain comes in various forms, generally cracked, ground, pelleted or made into meal.
