Getting right balance for best performance

摘要

In most cases this year's silages are better than last year, but it is important they are allowed to deliver to their potential and this means making sure the other ingredients complement the forage rather than substituting for it.Bruce Forshaw says: "The aim must be to focus on maintaining an effective and efficient rumen, and to produce milk that generates the best price within the contract. For many farmers in the South West this will mean concentrating on milk quality to suitmanufacturing contracts, even if this comes at the expense of yield. With marginal litres unlikely to be profitable, make sure you are getting the most from your core litres."
