Discover how to feed your high-producing dairy cows to keep them healthy and maximize their output. Learn best feeding and nutrition practices to ensure a consistent and high-quality milk production.

Proper feeding is critical for the well-being and production of high-producing dairy cows. A well-balanced and nutrient-rich diet can maximize their milk production and prolong their lifespan. But how do you properly feed high-producing dairy cows? What do they need to stay healthy and productive? In this VIDEO, we will discuss everything you need to know about feeding high-producing dairy cows.

To keep high-producing dairy cows healthy and productive, you need to provide them with a balanced diet that includes:

High-quality hay.

Hay is the foundation of dairy cow diets. Provide high-quality hay that is rich in fiber and essential nutrients.

Fresh forage.

Make sure cows have access to fresh, high-quality forage at all times. This can include corn silage, grass silage, alfalfa hay, and more.

Concentrates.

Concentrates are energy- and protein-rich foods. Provide quality concentrates that contain at least 16% protein and 70% digestible energy.

Clean water.

Dairy cows need access to clean, fresh water at all times. Provide enough water to keep them hydrated and healthy.

Vitamins and minerals.

Make sure cows get enough vitamins and minerals in their diet. You can provide vitamin and mineral supplements to complement their diet.

It's important to remember that dairy cow feeding should be balanced and appropriate for their age, production stage, and activity level.

Feeding high-producing dairy cows: Best practices.

In addition to providing a balanced diet, there are some practices you can follow to maximize milk production from your high-producing dairy cows.

Provide individual rations.

Providing individual rations ensures that each cow gets the right amount of food she needs.

Control feed access.

Controlling feed access can prevent overfeeding and improve feed efficiency.

Regular feeding.

Dairy cows should be fed regularly, at regular intervals, to ensure proper digestion and consistent milk production.

Monitor feed intake.

Monitoring feed intake can help you detect any health or nutrition problems in your high-producing dairy cows.

What is balanced feed for high-producing dairy cows?

Balanced feed for high-producing dairy cows is a specially designed compound food that meets the specific nutritional needs of dairy cows. It's designed to provide a balanced combination of protein, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins, and minerals necessary to maintain cow health and milk production.

Balanced feed should be formulated by an animal nutrition specialist who takes into account cow age, weight, production stage, and activity level. A balanced and appropriate diet can significantly improve milk production and quality.

What health problems can affect high-producing dairy cows?

High-producing dairy cows are susceptible to several health problems that can affect their milk production and well-being. Some common health problems include:

Acidosis.

A diet high in concentrates and low in fiber can cause ruminal acidosis, a disease that can affect cow health and milk production.

Ketosis.

Ketosis is a metabolic disease that occurs when the cow's body can't properly use the energy from the diet. It can cause a decrease in milk production and other health problems.

Mastitis.

Mastitis is an inflammation of the udder, which can be caused by bacterial infections. It can cause pain, inflammation, and a decrease in milk production.

To prevent these health problems, it is important to provide a balanced and adequate diet, monitor food intake and cow health, and ensure proper hygiene during milking and cow care.

Conclusion.

Feeding high-producing dairy cows is essential to maintain their health and maximize milk production. Providing a balanced and adequate diet that includes high-quality hay, fresh forage, concentrates, clean water, and vitamin and mineral supplements is crucial.

In addition, following good feeding practices and monitoring food intake and cow health can prevent health problems and improve milk production. With good nutrition and care, your high-producing dairy cows can remain healthy and productive for many years.
