WE DESIGN YOUR
DAIRY RATION
TO MEET YOUR NEEDS.
Pennfield’s new Mt. Joy feed mill has a feed production line specifically designed by Pennfield to produce PFR (Precision For
mulated Rations) custom formulated dairy feeds balanced for each dairyman’s feeding program. This customized ration will be
pelleted to prevent separation of vitamins and minerals from the feed ingredients. The ration will be balanced to meet specific
needs such as PROTEIN, BY-PASS PROTEIN, MINERALS, STARCH LEVEL, ADDED FAT, NDF (Neutral Deter
gent Fiber), ADF (Acid Detergent Fiber), PAL ATABILITY, TOTAL RATION DENSITY, and FEEDING PROGRAM
PROFITABILITY.
Feed Pennfield Dairy Rations specifically formulat
ed to your forage program.
Use 2-feed system for milk cows. Fresh cows get
high density feed for peak lactation, and tail enders
are fed least cost ration.
Use NPN (non-protein nitrogen) to reduce protein
costs in mid to late lactation dairy rations.

4. Increase forage feeding to lower producing cows
this will reduce amount of feed needed to balance
program.
5. Don’t keep extra heifers - it costs approximately
$3OO per year to feed each heifer. Milking cows x
60% gives you total number of heifers birth to fresh.
Example 50 milk cows x 60% = 30 heifers total.
6. Work on a better growing program for the generally
neglected yearling heifer. Bigger “spring of rib” heifers
will eat more forage and give a bigger milk check
during their first lactation. Heifers need to average
15,000-16,000 lbs. of milk for their first lactation.
