Dairy Farmers Urged To Harness Their Biggest Tool For Herd Productivity
Dairy farmers have the perfect tool at their disposal this calving season to set their herds up for future productivity – the rumen in their replacement heifer calves.
Raising healthy replacement heifer calves that efficiently turn feed into milk is fundamental to the future of New Zealand’s dairy herd, says SealesWinslow Quality and Technical Manager Paul Drew.
“Farmers have a single fundamental tool at their disposal that can help them grow the most efficient dairy cows possible and that’s the rumen in their replacement heifer calves,” says Paul.
The Role of Quality in Calf Meal
The choice of calf meal is a critical decision. Take a moment to look at the factors that play a role.
Is there truth in the old saying that you get what you pay for? Let’s put it like this: it certainly makes sense to take a good look at the nutritional requirements that need to be met with calf meal and compare it to what’s on offer.
Choosing Calf Feed
Early feed intake is the key to good rumen development. Premium calf feeds are formulated to high nutritional standards, however if calves don’t like the taste, feed quality is irrelevant. Calf feed should smell fresh and taste great. To ensure calves continue eating, it is recommended staying with the same brand, making the transition from starter to post-weaning feed as smooth as possible.
