Want to increase your cows' milk production and give
them a healthier diet without taking a huge bite out of
your wallet? We've found a way, with Cargill Full Time
Forage. The key? Higher cell-wall digestibility and
crude protein levels for your cows, great prices for you!
Milk it for all it's worth I You want to get the most out of your business.
Consider this: Research shows that for cows, a high forage diet is
healthier than a high grain diet and can lead to significant increases in
milk production. More milk means more money in the bank.
A range of studies has shown the dramatic increase in milk production with Cargill
Full Time forage. In one study conducted at Michigan State University, cows fed
Full Time forage as part of a high forage ration, on average, consumed 6% more dry
matter, resulting in 7.2 more pounds of milk per cow per day.
With Full Time forage you get high fiber digestibility, low lignin, improved dry matter
intake and better cow performance from a rumen-friendly diet.
Full Time
torage
Another major study has confirmed it.
You can see increased milk
production with Cargill Full Time
Forage. In a 1999 USDA study in
Beltsville Maryland, cows whose diet
included Cargill Full Time Forage (vs
normal corn silage) consumed 11%
more dry matter and increased milk
production by 6.9 pounds per cow per
day. This agrees with a Michigan State
University study which demonstrated
at 6% increase in dry matter intake,
an increase of 7.2 more pounds of
milk per cow per day.
