Close monitoring of dietary protein, shade, cooling systems and ventilation will all keep cows cooler during the heat of summer.

The sweet secret to surviving the new SNF-BF quota ratios

Increasing butterfat in the herd through sugar supplementation can increase fibre intake while decreasing feed sorting.

The dry period is essential for dairy cows to allow for regeneration of milk-secreting tissue and prepare the udder for optimal success in the next lactation.

The economic costs of ration sorting

March 11, 2022

Sydney Moore and Casey Havekes

The consequences of feed sorting on cow health and production have been well documented within the industry. Cows often sort in favour of smaller grain components, as these are typically the most palatable, and sort against the longer, bulkier forage components.

Reproductive success may be sweeter than you think

The reproductive health of dairy cows is one of the most important factors influencing dairy herd efficiency. As we continue to genetically select our cows to produce higher quantities of milk, research has shown that we are inadvertently decreasing cow fertility as we prolong the calving interval to maintain this high production.

Feeding and milkfat: Is sugar supplementation the key?

June 16, 2021

Sydney Moore and Kaitlyn Dancy

Milk protein and fat content will vary across dairy cow breeds. While Holstein dairy cows typically have the lowest milkfat percentage due to their high milk yield, they often still produce the greatest amount of butterfat per day.
