Customer stories

"I’ve been feeding dairy cows in Wisconsin for 25 years… Herd health comes from having a better immune system with the cow, which is what the peer-reviewed research from Alltech shows, and that’s what I’m seeing on the farm."

- Keith Moser, nutritionist, Nutrition Service Company, Wisconsin, USA

"We had cows that weren’t milking as well as they could be. Using Alltech products has really turned [things] around – less cows are going off feed, their hair coats have improved, the components and intake came back up, and milk production increased."

- Steve Paider, manager, Seidels Mountain View Dairy, Wisconsin, USA

"We use quite a few Alltech products and the main [reason] is for healthy cows. They have a nice line of products that really help. In the last 10 years we’ve switched to a more preventative [approach] rather than treatment. We don’t treat a lot of cattle; we try to prevent things, and I think Alltech products have helped us do that."

- Ken Verhasselt, Owner, Verhasselt Farms, Wisconsin, USA

"Before we used [Alltech products], even with a good colostrum program, more calves would have diarrhea or get pneumonia. [Alltech products] really pushed that number down."

- Wim Hammink, owner, Hammink Dairy, South Dakota, USA
