★ Typical Complete Dairy Ration Or Soybean Meal and Corn with Vitamin/Minerai Premix Many dairymen have switched from these rations. They’ve seen thaf they can’t deliver all their cows require for maximum milk production. Here’s why: Low Energy Limits Production Look at the low energy level. Like the weakest link in a chain, a cow will perform up to the most limiting nutrient. With these typical rations, it’s energy. The extra levels of proteins, vitamins and minerals can go to waste. So, a cow will not milk up to her full potential. Other “High Energy” Rations (competitive com pletes or Soybean Meal and Corn) You’ll find many feed companies jumping on the high-energy bandwagon. They've learned that energy Is a key element in milk production. So, they raised the energy of their complete dairy rations, often at the expense of other essential nutrients. Many dairymen have also decided to make a higher energy ration from soybean meal and corn. But watchout! Considering energy alone can lead to a nutrient balance trap. Low Levels of Vitamins and Minerals Limit Production. While these rations have higher levels of energy the limiting factor to production is their low vit amin and mineral level. Of course, a cow might produce more the first few months of her first lactation on this ration. Trouble is, she’s using her own body stores to pro vide needed vitamins and minerals. As those stores are depleted, a cow’s milk production will drop below normally expected levels. Health problems might develop. And most important', she'll actually produce less during her next lactation. PHONE- 717-442-41*3 717-70-3301 PARADISE, PA 1750 PHONE 717-665-21*6 2 NEW CHARLOTTE ST . MANHEIM, PA 17545 IRA 6.
