Dairy Animal Feeds

Dairy cows have enormous potential to produce milk but they have very high nutrient requirements to achieve that potential. Cow need daily supply of essential nutrients required for their maintenance, growth, pregnancy and production. Quantitatively any type of nutrient can limit performance levels, but the most likely to be in short supply are energy and protein, this is especially true for high and average yielding cows to maintain normal body functions that is known as their ‘maintenance’ requirement. A dairy cow feed needs to be balanced to achieve milk production, body condition and reproduction targets.

The major factors to consider are

Keeping the diet consistent to optimise microbial production and to achieve the desired milk composition targets, in simple words more rumen microbes equal more milk. Maximizing dry matter (DM) intake provides more nutrients to rumen microbes, which in turn provide more nutrients to the cow for

Every day, an efficient milking cow needs a dry matter intake equivalent to at least 3% of their body weight. Dasan provides a variety of dairy feeds for lactating animals, required per their production and lactation stage.
