The research was performed on the milk farm “Ligotnes” of the Latvia University of Agriculture research and training farm “Vecauce” where robotized milking is introduced. On the farm concentrated feed was fed in three places: at the feeding table, i.e., together with the feed mix, in the milking stand and at feeding stations. In the research the amount of concentrated feed that the cows received at every feeding place was stated. For this purpose the cows were divided in four milk yield groups with 10-20, 20-30, 30-40 and more than 40 kg of milk per day. It was stated that the consumption of concentrated feed varies proportionally to the milk yield but its proportion for lower productivity cows is too high according to physiological requirements, but for cows with the milk yield 30-40 kg and more it can be insufficient. Several versions of concentrated feed consumption control are described.
