Many farmers adopting this system encounter rumen health issues, resulting in loose dung, low butter fats and loss of BCS – and lost potential.
Roche’s Feeds in Ireland are harnessing the benefits of NIS in their ruminant feeds.
We have had many phone calls from farmers struggling with low butterfat levels when feeding high levels of 1st cut silage. This article discusses the issue.
