Feed costs represent 50-70% of total production expenses in dairy farming, making it the largest expense in milk production and thus a key area to focus on to increase profitability. However, the goal is to get the best performance from the feed, which means achieving optimal milk performance for a given quantity of feed intake, as the intake capacity of any ruminant is finite.
Key areas to focus on for profitability include selecting optimal raw materials, precisely monitoring their value and quality, and formulating feed using the latest ruminant formulation systems tailored to the physiological stage of dairy cows. By quantifying needs, staying agile, and providing essential nutrients like methionine, producers can also enhance milk production, reduce less productive periods, and thereby maintain or even increase profitability.
Explore the latest trends in dairy fat demand and discover key strategies to optimize milk fat production through feed innovation!
In this insightful webinar, Dr. Brian Sloan and Dr. Fernanda Lopes will discuss the crucial role of Methionine at both the rumen and metabolic levels to enhance dairy performance and sustainability.
Understanding the precise value and quality of what the cows consume is fundamental. Adisseo provides solutions like the PNE Service and MycoMan for this purpose.
To exceed 20 liters of milk per cow per day, nutritionists need to consider limiting amino acids and balancing them effectively in the formula. Different systems of ruminants’ formulation can be used, a new version of CNCPS (V7) will be launched soon.
Additionally, even the best-balanced formula is ineffective if the diet isn’t consumed. Adisseo’s expertise in palatability helps farmers address behavioral challenges that may affect feed intake.
It is essential to maximize the intake of key nutrients, like methionine. Cattle obtain amino acids through two main sources :
• Microbial Proteins Synthesized by Rumen Microflora : Limiting damage of rumen microflora by mycotoxins is key.
• Rumen-Protected Protein and Amino Acids: Known as “bypass” sources, products like Smartamine® and MetaSmart® provide methionine, a key nutrient that enhances milk production and supports cattle metabolism.
Soon we will see the release of CNCPS version 7. This much anticipated update will include many enhancements which should enable dairy producers and their nutritionists to formulate better diets that will improve dairy productivity and profitability. This webinar will discuss CNCPS and the update to version 7 with Dr. Mike Van Amburgh and Dr. Andrew LaPierre from Cornell University. They will share their insights and perspectives on the changes to the CNCPS model, the potential impact these updates will have, and some thoughts on CNCPS moving forward.
