KPI alphabet soup: Defining acronyms of high-performance dairies

Four KPIs that have considerable impact on dairy productivity and profitability are income over feed cost, dollars per pound of dry matter, energy-corrected milk efficiency and money-corrected milk.

Interpreting dairy key performance indicators (KPIs) have you feeling like eating an alphabet soup sandwich? While there are hundreds of ways to slice and dice dairy metrics, this article will define and explore several KPIs that have a substantial impact on dairy productivity and profitability.

Supplemental choline during transition period increases milk production

Feeding supplemental choline during the transition period can improve milk production through peak production and whole lactation.

During the transition period, a lot goes on “under the hood” so to speak that can be a drag on a cow’s efficiency, such as inflammation and decreased feed intake.

Smart feeding can lead to increased milk in robotic herds

Feeding a robotic milking herd may seem like a balancing act between what is fed at the bunk and in the box. Industry observations indicate consistency between both is the true driver of increased energy-corrected milk and components.

The year is 2015, and the philosophy for feeding a robotic milking herd is to feed limited energy at the bunks so the cows go to the robots for the remainder of their nutrient requirements; more energy available in the robot means more visits and ultimately more milk.

Don’t be singularly focused when determining profitability

Julie Ainsworth

Having focus is a good thing, but being singularly focused to measure profitability is not. We know with some certainty, herds which produce more milk or higher components have higher profitability.

Feed efficiency from a quota system perspective

Elliot Block

More milk and components from each kilogram of feed is the basis for the feed efficiency equation. In countries where production caps have not been set, this idea resonates well since maximized production most often translates to additional revenue for the dairy.
