Soybean Meal and Corn
with a vitamin/mineral premix
Many dairymen have switched from this ration.
They’ve seen that it can’t deliver all that 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 this ration, it's energy. The
higher levels of proteins, vitamins and minerals
can goto waste.
Soybean meal and corn
Some dairymen have gone to this ration. Many
think they’re saving money. Others want a high
energy ration. But watchout! Don’t fall into this
nutrient balance trap.
Low Levels of Vitamins
and Minerals Limit Production
While a soybean meal and corn ration may
provide additional energy, the limiting factor to
production is inadequate vitamin and mineral
levels.
Of course, a cow might produce more in the
first few months of her first lactation on this type
of ration. Trouble is, she’s using up her vital body
stores to provide needed vitamins and minerals.
As those stores are used up, milk production will
drop below normally expected levels. Health
problems might develop. And, most important,
she’ll likely produce less during her next lac
tation.
