Phase 1
This is the early lactation
period, lasting about 10 weeks.
During this time, the cow
usually cannot physically con
sume enough feed to support
her peak production. Multi
phase dairy concentrate and
the appropriate Density Plus
Nutrient Pac with the recom
mended levels of grain allows
the cow to peak at the highest
possible level. This is critical to profitability since
each additional pound at peak equals 200 pounds
over the course of the lactation..
Phase 2
During this phase, milk pro
duction begins to decline, feed
intake peaks and the cow’s
body weight stabilizes. The
cow is still producing at a high
level and her nutritional needs
remain high. Shorting her
nutrient needs would cause
her milk production to drop
faster than the normal 10%
per month. The appropriate
Master Mix Density Plus Nutrient Pac along with
Multiphase and grain will help maintain maximum
milk production.
' Phase 3
The,cow rMintinues her
natural decline in production
during the final 24 weeks of
lactation. However, her
appetite stays strong, and she
" can consume more feed than
needed to maintain her lower
production level. Peed cost
can be cut by keeping feed
intake in line with milk pro
duction. Density Plus Nutrient
Pads are not normally needed during this phase.

Proper feeding during Phase 111 minimizes the
amount of grain needed during the dry cow period.
Phase 4
Proper feeding during this
eight week period reduces
_• disorders such as overfat
cows, off feed, displaced
abomasum, calving difficulty,
and retained placenta. For
most cows; average or good
quality roughage supple
mented with the proper
amount andbalance of
minerals is an adequate diet.
Cows that are in poor body condition may need

additional grain ration to build body reserves.
To prepare the dry cow for her next lactation,
start feeding the milking ration two weeks before
calving. Lead feeding allows the dry cow to a4just
more easily to high levels of grain consumption at
freshening. Do not exceed 1 percent of body weight
before calving.
