Cinq conseils pour une période de tarissement réussie

La traite, l’alimentation, les traitements et les facteurs de stress sont des aspects sur lesquels il faut se concentrer au moment de la préparation des vaches au tarissement.

Casey Havekes and Sydney Moore

La période de tarissement est essentielle pour les vaches laitières afin de permettre la régénération des tissus sécréteurs de lait et de préparer le pis pour une prochaine lactation optimale.

Managing forage ratios this spring: Benefits of supplementing with liquid molasses

Liquid molasses added to feed can assist in DMI and rumen health if you are stretching forages this spring.

Supplementing feed with liquid molasses is one way to improve the nutrient density and digestibility of feed for dairy cows.

Strategies for managing heat stress in ruminants

Feed quality can aid in heat stress management during times of lower feed intake due to heat stress.

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.

As a new solids-nonfat-to-butterfat ratio is introduced, look to molasses and other sugar supplements to attain the desired ration efficiently.

The effect of sugar supplementation on milk urea nitrogen and protein efficiency

5 tips for a successful dry period

June 13, 2022

Casey Havekes and Sydney Moore

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

Casey Havekes and Sydney Moore

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

Kaitlyn Dancy and Sydney Moore

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.
