Farming Simulator 25: How and what to feed your cows for maximum produce
The recently released Farming Simulator 25 features several activities that players can indulge in, apart from just sowing seeds and harvesting crops. Players can also keep a lot of animals on their farm that can produce several products that can be sold to earn money. One of these animals is a cow, but you need to make sure to feed your cow the right way to earn a great sum.
There are multiple items that you can feed to your cow. But what is the best out of these items? Let's take a look.
What to feed your cows in Farming Simulator 25
Cows are the most popular farm animals in Farming Simulator 25. However, make sure to feed them properly to get the most out of them. When players build their cow barn in Farming Simulator, there will be an option of setting up a meadow field behind their barn. This meadow field will offer free pasture for your cows. While this might be the best option during the early stages of the game, as you progress, you will need to think of more efficient ways to feed your cows.
The pasture from the meadow fields is base-tier food with only 40% effectiveness. If you want 100% efficiency, the best food is Total Mixed Ration (TMR). However, it's not easy to get TMR as it cannot be obtained without crafting it yourself. To make TMR, you need two ingredients—Hay and Silage. To make TMR out of these ingredients, you need a Forage Mixer. Another piece of equipment that you will need for transportation is a Bale Spike.
Even though Hay and Silage can be grown, the more convenient way is to buy them from the Animal section of the shop. Once you open the animal section, Hay and Silage will be available under the Bales section. Two more optional items that you can add are straw and mineral feed.
Now, using the Bale Spike with a Loader, pick and drop Hay and Silage into a mixer to make TMR. Now, take the mixer to your cow barn and dump the freshly made TMR in front of your cows. This is how you can feed your cows TMR in Farming Simulator 25.
