TLDR
In a study with 21 lactating Guernsey cows, the effect of increased frequency of feeding on various production characteristics was reflected in trends of increasing pounds of milk production, pounds of 4% FCM, pounds and per cent of milk fat and pounds of solids-not-fat per cow as mentioned in this paper.About:

The effects of frequency of feeding on milk production of dairy cattle: an analysis of published results
TL;DR: It was concluded that cows producing milk of commercially acceptable milk fat concentrations were unlikely to benefit from increased feeding frequency, and increases in milk fat concentration through increasedfeeding frequency were generally insufficient to bring the milkfat concentration up to a commercially acceptable level.

Effects of zinc deficiency per se on feed efficiency, serum alkaline phosphatase, zinc in skin, behavior, greying, and other measurements in the Holstein calf.
TL;DR: Except for reduced weight gains, calves fed the control diet in limited amounts had no symptoms of a zinc deficiency, and most of the formerly zinc-deficient calves, but none of the controls, had grey hair on spots from which skin samples had been surgically removed during the treatment period.

Studies of the nutritive value of New Zealand dairy pastures
TL;DR: The results of 120 digestibility trials are reported, in which non-laetating identieal twin eattle were fed fresh pasture herbage indoors for 6 months of the 1958-9 dairying season.

Effects of frequency of feeding on urea utilization and growth characteristics in dairy heifers.
TL;DR: Forty Guernsey heifers were utilized in multiple-feeding studies with resulting data showing significantly greater body weight gain in heifer fed six times more than those fed twice daily.

Ruminal flora studies. VIII. The influence of rate and method of feeding a ration upon its digestibility, upon ruminal function, and upon the ruminal population
TL;DR: The daily ration given as a single feed gave the lowest dry matter digestibility and nitrogen retention, and caused the greatest fall in pH values and bacterial counts, and the lowest protozoal counts.
