Pricing a commodity only on nutrient content does not consider the real cost of feeding a commodity and the lingering effect on the dairy’s total feed cost.
El potasio(K)es un catión, o mineral cargado positivamente, requerido para desarrollar muchas funciones fisiológicas (balance ácido-base, balance osmótico, contracción muscular, metabolismo de carbohidratos y proteínas).
En una granja lechera todos los días hay que tomar múltiples decisiones respecto a lo que comerán las vacas, cuanto comerán, cuales vacas comerán determinado alimento y como se les va a mezclar y presentar el alimento a las mismas.
En las dietas para vascas lecheras, el forraje provee fibra detergente neutro (FDN)tanto estructural como químico. El FDN estructural es importante para la rumia y para mantener al rumen saludable, mientras que la digestibilidad del FDN químicoproveeenergía para la producción de leche y grasa de la leche.
Many factors contribute to rising feed costs: diet formulation, feed wastage, ingredient selection and purchasing. One frequently mentioned cost-cutting measure, because it is a direct cash cost, is to eliminate minerals and particularly trace mineral supplementation. However, all dairy diets need some supplementation as natural, home-raised feeds are usually low in most required trace minerals. Not supplementing will result in a moderate deficiency.
Most herds the early-lactation and high-production groups will benefit most from amino acid balancing. If you needed a number, I would say 75 lb. of 3.8% milk or higher.
Optimum efficiency of nutrient conversion into milk and milk components occurs when both the nutrient requirements of the cow and rumen microbes are met and in synchrony.
Obtaining the most efficient use of feed nutrients is essential for profitability on dairy farms. Optimum efficiency of nutrient conversion into milk and milk components occurs when both the nutrient requirements of the cow and rumen microbes are met and in synchrony.
