Dairy producers across the country have complained about low milk fat this year, though nutritionists have been hard-pressed to explain it.
If your nutrition is out of sync, then nothing else matters.
Nutrition is the key to milk production, and forage quality is the key to good nutrition. We use two main forage sources, triticale haylage and corn silage.
Growing and harvesting high-quality forages have gone from being simple things to real challenges.
We have always invested heavily in both feed storage and forage harvesting equipment.
Forage quality also contributes to an operation’s carbon footprint. We put significant research into selecting hybrids that give us good tonnage as well as high digestibility. If we can maximize forage digestibility, the cows will more efficiently turn nutrients into milk.
Compare different feedstuffs to make the most economical choices.
