  1. DNTPDairy Nutrition Technology Program Practical & Profitable van der Leek, May 9, 2011

  2. Does it Matter? Milk: • Volume • Components • MUN Reproduction Health & …

  3. Feed Conversion Efficiency • FCE = Energy Corrected Milk / Dry Matter Intake • Energy Corrected Milk (ECM) = Milk kg Corrected for 4.4 % Fat & 3.3 % Protein • What Should FCE Be? < 1.2 is poor 1.2 – 1.4 is good > 1.4 is the goal ¥

  6. Feed Analysis Feed Sampling AnalyticalNutrition Balanced Ration Concentrate Additives Physical Nutrition Ration Processing, Mix & Presentation Software Monitoring & Support Tech Service

  7. “The Rumen Box” A B C FORAGE FORAGE FORAGE BYPRODUCT CONCENTRATE CONC CONC 50:50 65:35 40:30:30

  8. Feed Sampling & Analysis Method of Sampling? • Multiple samples, mixed & sub-sampled • Core samples of 10 bales Frequency of Sampling? • More variable, more samples Analysis • Wet Chemistry • NIR

  9. Dry Matter Variation Corn Silage Variation of DM • % Forage • % Forage NDF • % Starch • Variation of % Grain • Switch Corn Silage for Ground Corn (DM basis) & Vice Versa. • Changes % Starch, not Protein

  10. Analytical Ration Formulation I Who do we formulate for? • Milk Cow: 2-yr old, 90 DIM, peak milk • Others incl. dry, close-up & heifer Accurate Analysis of Feeds Biological Model – CNCPS v6.1 Ration Balancing Software: • AMTS vs. CPM

  11. Analytical Ration Formulation II Prefer High Forage Ration Available & Digestible Crude Protein vs. Amino Acids Maximize Rumen Function Starch vs. Sugar vs. Soluble Fiber Rumen Degradable vs. Soluble vs. Bypass Protein Fats

  12. “ Custom Concentrate” Concentrate is Formulated “Around” Available Forages

  13. Feed Additives Energy Booster® • By-pass (rumen inert) fat supplement that contains saturated fatty acids • Increases energy density of the ration to promote milk production and body condition while maintaining DMI RuMin8® • Contains soluble sugars, mineral salts and organic acids • Increases milk production by providing energy and VFA production • Provides more complete digestion by matching protein and carbohydrate sources

  14. Physical Ration Formulation To Promote a Healthy Rumen Mat • Sufficient Long Dry Fibers • Consistently • 6 to 8 cm in Length Wetting of Concentrate • Changes Physical Property in Rumen

  15. New Technology

  16. Field Results The Keenan System 1,100 Farms & Over 80,000 Cows Using the System Have Seen: • 12% increase in feed conversion efficiency • 2.2% decrease in DMI • 7.8% increase in milk production (ECM) • An improvement in margin (Profitability)

  17. Perfect Fiber Length

  18. Consistent Fiber Length The Keenan Fiber The “Other” Fiber

  19. Processing - The Difference Pulverized Feed Fluffy Feed

  20. Sophisticated Software

  21. FCE – United Kingdom & France

  22. FCE – The China Experience Encouraging

  23. You hungry? If they mixed it right!

  24. So Which Ration Is It? 1) Ration on Paper 2) Ration Mixed 3) Ration Delivered 4) Ration Consumed 5) Ration digested

  25. The Answer is Easy! They Should All Be the Same!

  26. “Reading” Feed Bunks • Amount of Feed Left after 24 hrs Feeding • Orts, Weighback, PushOut • Measure at the Same Time Every Day & Adjust Amount Fed for Next Feedings • “Perfect” ??? • 5% • 2% • 0%

  27. Forage Particle Size & Rumen pH Coarse Cut Fine Cut

  28. Peak Milk!

  29. Persistence!

  30. High Fiber Dry Cow Diets

  31. Three Things Cows NEED to Do! • Stand - Eat & Drink • Stand - Milking • LAY DOWN, Ruminate & Make Milk!

  32. Golden Rules Cow Comfort Transition – Dry to Fresh Stick to the BASICS Details, Details, Details! Do Not Overreact
