Feed Study
In this comparative study, we will be examining the impact of feeding multiple times a day versus feeding once per day on weight gains in cattle. We have a study group of 20 cattle of various weights, which we have split into two groups of 10.
Group One: Hanen Automatic Feeder
The first group, the Hanen feeder group, is fed five times per day. They are supplemented with 70 lbs of hay per day. The total feed fed to this group is 95 lbs per day.
Group Two: Hand Fed
The second group, the hand fed group, is fed once per day. They are supplemented with 70 lbs of hay per day. The total feed fed to this group is also 95 lbs per day.
The feed study lasted from May 23 to August 15, 2023. During this time, we monitored the weight gains of each group of
cattle. Cattle were monitored by Tim Willis from Lime Ridge Ag Supply
