A comparison of total-mixed-ration and feed-to-yield strategies on blood profiles and dairy cow health. [PDF]
, 2018 Seventy-two Holstein-Friesian dairy cows were offered the same amount of concentrates over the first 140 days of lactation, by either a ‘total-mixed-ration’ or a ‘feed-to-yield’ strategy. The effects on blood profiles and cow health were examined.

Lead Factors for Total Mixed Ration Formulation
Journal of Dairy Science, 1984 Lead factors are used in computerized ration formulation programs developed at Virginia Tech to increase milk production above a herd or group average for which total mixed rations are formulated for group feeding. These lead factors theoretically increase milk production for which the ration is formulated so 83% of the cows in a group will receive ...
