Feed for Hospital Pen

On the chance that a cow does contract a sickness or disease, they are held in the hospital pen for closer supervision and hopefully a speedy recovery. While the cows are kept in the hospital pen they are fed a different mix ration. A "close-up premix" is prepared before hand, and stored on the dairy floor, at the time of feeding a silage mixture is added in. Please refer to the table below.
