In many dairy farms, a selection of the TMR takes place without this being noticed. The TMR selection influences the rations calculation. Read how you can recognise feed selection and what you can do to prevent it.
Many calves suffer from heat stress when temperatures are high in summer. This particularly affects animals that are kept in huts or igloos. Here you will find useful tips on how to prevent circulatory failure and reduce stress for calves.
Adapted feed control, good forage management and cost optimisation are the cornerstones of practical and economical bull feeding. Here you will find ways to optimise your ration.
In order to achieve a high final weight and good feed conversion in bull fattening, it is necessary to use feed that is in perfect condition. Read on to find out how you can prevent mould in feed and the formation of mycotoxins.
