Feed represents 50-70% of operating expenses, making nutrition management the most critical factor for profitability. The industry has revolutionized nutrition through precision approaches and advanced technologies.
Quality Foundation:
- San José farm ensiles 100,000 tonnes of diverse forages annually
- Well-compacted, properly aged silage critical for nutritional value
- Premium providers like GWK Lucerne ensure quality and timing precision
Precision Nutrition:
- Target 14-17% protein in dry matter, 60-65% rumen degradable
- Canola meal improves milk production and nitrogen efficiency
- Methionine (Mepron) essential for herd health and metabolic processes
Revolutionary Results:
- Actisaf Sc 47 increases milk yield by average 1.72 kg/day
- VistaPre-T enhances digestion while reducing emissions 15%
- Essential oils at lower doses improve production without inhibiting rumen microbes
Technology Integration:
- Automated feeding systems provide substantial labor savings
- Near-infrared spectroscopy enables real-time ingredient analysis
- Water quality monitoring critical - high minerals negatively impact production
Success Formula: Balance nutritional precision with economic reality while addressing environmental sustainability through strategic investment in proven technologies.
