Feed balance is critical to maximising milk yields

摘要

Ensuring that ration starch-to-fibre ratio is at its optimum to promote rumen health is essential for any dairy farmer looking to maximise yields and make the most of the good milk price.All dairy farmers looking to cash in on strong milk prices must ensure ration balance and cow health are a priority when pushing for higher milk yields.When cows aren't milking as well as you want, it can be tempting to increase concentrate inclusion or total volumes fed, but failure to promote rumen health could actually lead to lower yields and reduced cow health.
