Yea-Sacc: good for your herd, your pocket and the environment
Reflecting on the challenges we have faced over the last year, it cannot be emphasised enough how important farmers are in the food supply chain. COVID-19 has highlighted the need for such resilient food systems. Feed production capacity directly correlates to the amount of food available for human consumption and general food security....
BEAT THE DROP: Combatting a drop in butterfat
A decline in butterfat percentages can be common during the spring months, when cows are grazing lush grass that is low in fibre and high in oil and sugars, among other reasons. The Alltech nutrition team focus on four key areas to combat a drop in butterfat, including: nutrition, rumen health, grassland management and genetics....
Aspects contributing to the butterfat depression
It is not uncommon to see a butterfat drop of up to 0.5% over the spring–summer period in grazing dairy cows. This can occur in the absence of significant signs of acidosis and lameness, so, over the last number of years, we have begun to examine the relationship between the cows diet, how it reacts in the rumen and its effect on butterfat...
