(1/3) Facts on food retail prices, dairy product prices and farm gate milk prices. Food inflation since January 2010 has been 3 times larger than #dairy product inflation
In high temps, consider feeding at a time of the day when it's not as hot. In summer, cows consume 2/3 of their feed at night. The feed alley should never be empty in the evening/night. Also, keep the feed alley cleaned daily so the residual feed doesn't start to heat quicker.
#feedstrategytip If the intake of roughage decreases, then the concentrates added must also decrease. Make the ration more energy-rich by adding fat, as fat has a high energy density. Use rumen-protected fats, otherwise, the fermentation may be disrupted. #ontag
#feedstrategytip When heat stress occurs it's important to relieve the rumen as much as possible. Adding live yeasts to the ration, feeding more rumen-bypass proteins & fats, and a more constant starch source can ease the burden on the rumen.
