Some of the participants are current Cargill customers, but the majority, were
obtained through prospecting and contact with private nutrition consultants in the area. In this project, I worked very closely with dairy nutrition consultants, managers, herdsmen, and feeders to obtain accurate information on daily milk sold, feed ingredients and costs, number of cows fed, quantities fed, and general management. For a summary of the project report as presented to the dairy producers, please refer to the Appendix A. (Note: for the purpose of comparison, forage costs were put on dry matter basis)
