Actisaf live yeast increases feed efficiency by 5.5% in early lactation cows
Feed and forage costs make up the largest single cost of milk production, therefore, controlling these expenses is essential to the profitability of any Irish dairy farm. In order to minimise feed costs per litre or kg of milk solids produced, optimising feed efficiency of the herd is critical.
With many spring-calving herds now starting to calve down, farmers should focus on easing the transition from the dry to lactating stage.
How well cows adapt to the many changes occurring during this crucial period can affect performance for the rest of the lactation, and ensuring that freshly calved cows get enough nutrition from an energy dense and well-balanced diet is critical in achieving this.
