RONRER & SONS, INC. 0 This is the oarly lactation jieriod. lasting aland 10 weeks. 1 During this time, the cow | usually cannot physically con- I sume enough feed to support I her peak production. Multi- I phase daily concentrate and | the appropriate Density Plus Nutrient Pac with the recom mended levels of gram allows the cow to peak at the highest l>ossil>le level. This is critical to profitability since each additional pound at peak equals 200 pounds over the course of the lactation. During tliis phase, milk pro duction begins to decline', feed intake peaks and the cow’s laxly weight stabilizes. The i cowi.sstill 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 Fac along with Multiphase and grain will help maintain maximum milk production. If) The cow continues her natural decline in production during the final 24 weeks of lactation. However, her appetite stays strong, and she canxonsume more feed than needed-to maintain her lower production level. Feed cost can 1h» cut by keeping feed intake in line with milk pro duction. Density Plus Nutrient Pacs are not normally needed during this phase. Proper fuelling during Phase 111 minimizes the ’>*■*' ♦r' r C i amount of grain needed during the dry cow period. 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 and balance 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 fee sling the milking ration two weeks before calving Lead feeding allows the dry cow to adjust more easily to high levels of grain consumption at freshening. Oo not exceed I percent of body weight before calving.
