Ensuring repeat grass growth is essential

Managing grasslands can be a complex task for dairy farmers and is mostly influenced by the country they are in and the climate there. Some farmers opt to keep cows out all year and take advantage of the cow being able to feed herself and dispose of her own manure, reducing the overall costs of production.

Protected fats in ruminant nutrition

The addition of fat to the diets of dairy cows can improve the energy balance in lactating cows and hence improves fertility, milk production and other biological functions. The advantages of increasing the energy density of diets without reducing digestibility can be achieved if the dietary fat is protected from hydrogenation in the rumen.

Surviving high North American feed prices

It’s a financially challenging time for dairy farmers across North America as many states face a difficult growing season plagued by severe drought conditions. While milk prices have improved to an extent, the rising costs of staple ingredients – especially corn and soybean – are making it difficult for income to keep up, resulting in a persistently slim profit margin.
