Successful dairy production requires you to keep up with the latest science and research and broaden your knowledge, to meet the requirements of the evermore-complex high-producer dairy cow. Current market conditions force us to strive towards more efficient performance; therefore, to be profitable one must apply proven knowledge and innovation.
Organics essential
Organic trace elements are no longer luxuries but now assets (essential nutrients) to the high-producer dairy cow/heifer, shifting this from a cost decision to a profit decision. Making a decision on which organic trace mineral to use can be as simple as making sure it meets the 5 R criteria: return, response, repeatability, research and reassurance.
