How feed efficient is your dairy cow?

After years of research by Wageningen UR Livestock Research, Dutch dairy farmers can now find out the feed efficiency of the offspring of the country’s dairy bulls. This will help the farmer boost profitability from milk production, and contribute to more sustainable production of animal proteins to feed a growing world population.

The high cost of metabolic diseases in dairy cattle

Metabolic disorders are extremely costly to dairy farmers and the overall cost is certainly greater than the direct loss of income from reduced milk production. Most metabolic disorders are not "stand-alone" – the occurrence of one tends to increase the risk of another. Nutrition is probably the most influential and most often considered when looking at management practices to address metabolic issues, but cow comfort and hygiene are also crucial.
