A Real Example

Better dry feeding meant better results

One Dairy was finding it hard to cope: cows were experiencing lower yields than expected and many were not getting pregnant in the right timeframes. By visiting the farm and measuring feed accessibility, the dry cows had too little space to feed. They also had very sortable ration: Fibre was long and they were leaving much of it in the feedbunk. As a result, they were putting on condition in the dry period and experiencing ketosis. This meant that there were cows with DAs, increased metritis and lower yields.

By working with the nutritionist, vet and farm team, the cows ate the correct ration and ketosis went to 0% within 3 weeks.

Over the next 3 months, early lactation cows produced 4kg MORE milk on average and there were significantly less sick cows. The farmer had more time to spend doing things he wanted and over 150 days later, reproduction had improved also. The farm made over £9,000 more from less disease, £22,000 from milk sales (IOFC) and £6,000 from reproduction improvements.

The extra time, was priceless.
