During the discussion a question was raised about inquiring and evaluation of manure and feed in a questionnaire survey on profitability of milk production, the results of which were presented. The answer revealed that the data are reported in the same form as they are recorded and accounted internally, e.g. purchased and in-house produced feedstuffs are monitored, with feed type, consumption by dairy cows and price (market or internal) being recorded.
