Describing the distribution type of DM intake for dairy cow pens based on pen characteristics
In practice, cows are fed by pen, but a diet is formulated to the nutrient requirements of a single cow. If the DM intake (DMI) of a pen were equal for all cows, this approach would have no error, but cows are grouped into pens on pregnancy and other management factors creating a distribution of DMI...
