Feeding the dairy cow for good milk production

Good feeding is essential for a healthy and productive cow that has a calf every year. Good nutrition is needed for profitable dairy farming. This video is full of practical tips and things you can improve in your herd today. Energy requirements for milk production are very high. Many farmers underestimate how much energy is needed. You will see examples of the energy requirements at five different stages of lactation depending on the amount of milk produced. If you feed the correct amount of energy, then you maximise milk production, fertility and profit. Feeding good quality, high energy or concentrated energy feed gives a very good return on investment. Milk production will drop if a cow does not get enough energy. Cows need good quality forage and the diet must be supplemented with vitamins and minerals as necessary.
