Dairy
Nutrition is one of the most important factors in the health, production and profitability of a lactating dairy cow. Specific areas of health linked to production can be targeted by nutrition ie mastitis, fertility, lameness and milk yield and milk quality.
In addition to providing an ideal nutritional balance for each cow, dairy rations should make economic sense and be balanced on a cost per litre basis.
The importance of good nutrition in dairy cattle is essential and to have a basic understanding of how cows digest feed, what factors affect feed intake, how to monitor and utilise feeding programs at different stages of lactation and how to identify nutrionally related problems in relation to body condition score. This expertise will help to prevent health problems and maximise production and profitability.
Testimonial
Graham Williams milks a pedigree herd of 170 Holsteins at Trostra Farm, Glascoed, Pontypool where he runs an embryo transfer programme to increase his genetic pace. He sells the surplus stock. Focus on herd health is paramount to his business.
Graham is convinced that the TendaHoof FX™ system is working hand in hand in all animal health aspects. "For that reason I will be continuing with the product especially as the cost at approximately £30 a lactation per cow seems an excellent investment."
