Optimize milk yield and breeding with fresh, homemade feed

🐮 Feed for cattle

Producing your own feed gives you complete control over your cattle feed – from roughage and concentrates to complete rations. This allows you to optimize the performance of your dairy cows, ensure good rumen function, and adapt feeding to breeding and dry cows. On this page, you can read about the advantages of self-production, how to adapt the feed, and ensure consistent quality all year round.

🌾Why should you produce your own feed for cattle?

Answer:
Feed is the largest cost in cattle production, which is why producing your own feed is so important for both your finances and production results. When you produce your own feed, you can put together rations that are tailored to your herd, whether it consists of dairy cows, dry cows, or breeding stock. This allows for better utilization of nutrients and a more stable production level.

🌾What role does roughage play in your own feed production?

Answer:
Roughage is the foundation of cattle feeding, and the quality of grass and corn silage is very important for both health and performance. By producing your own roughage and supplementing it with home-mixed concentrate, you can achieve an optimal balance of energy and protein. This ensures a well-functioning rumen and high feed intake, which are crucial for efficient milk production or growth.

🌾What are the advantages of flexibility in feed production?

Answer:
With your own feed production, you can continuously adjust rations based on analyses of silage, grain, and protein sources. This allows you to respond quickly to variations in raw material quality and changes in herd needs. At the same time, you reduce your dependence on ready-made feed and gain greater control over both feeding and finances.

🌾How does in-house feed production contribute to better feed utilization?

Answer:
When harvesting, ensiling, and storage are done correctly, energy and protein losses are reduced. By combining this with precise mixing and correct feeding, you can achieve a more consistent feed ration throughout the year. This results in better feed utilization, higher performance, and a healthier herd.
