New silage analysis from across the nations has shown us that the nutrition analysis is varying. It can make feeding challenges come your way this autumn, and you need to consider some needs to be given to balance the ration and optimize your cows' rumen health and keep the performance of your ruminants going for longer.

Why do you need to balance rations?

You must consider including bioavailable fibers to support milk yield and quality to assure that you don't see the influence in the milk tank itself, with lower butterfat and protein levels. So we at Silage Ludhianaa branch of Silage Agro, will discuss how to balance your cows' diet to maintain rumen health.    

Is a yeast supplement worth your consideration?

It is a benefit considering a yeast supplement to support your cow's rumen microbial population and boost digestion of the fiber in NutriMeal Silagethus improving butter fats. In addition, buffers provide highly organic forms of magnesium. It means that more is available for your cow (and less for you.), and you see a consecutive performance response, with a rise in butterfat and thin protein percentage.

Silage Agro believes that the quality and bioavailability of any mineral supplement depends on the source, the processing, and whether it's natural or cabinated.           

Aiding rumen health during changes in ration

In a high-quality yeast supplement, magnesium is more than 75% bioavailable. Including such things in your ruminant's diet will surely help rumen health during ration changes, such as moving from grazing to giving silage in sheds or changing silage pits to increase height butterfat amounts up to and retain high milk yields.

Rich early cut silage, which has high lactic acid, concentrates above 70g per kg, can also cause rumen health problems, and so a top-quality yeast supplement can work here too. You should watch out for loose muck, cud-balls, and decreased butterfat levels, which can all be signs of acidosis, which is an expensive issue for you.

As an impact of the lower and over variable protein levels in silage, there might be more minor levels of rumen degradable protein in the diet. Therefore, to prevent any influence on your cow's milk yield, quality and to support protein efficiency, you may require to compliment rations with ample rumen degradable protein.

Balancing diets and being cost-efficient

There is favorable instability in protein sources when it's about price, accessibility, sustainability, and environmental stress, to remain cost-effective, it's crucial for you to consider a balanced diet and the overall supplies' price in comparison to what milk yield it can aid than the price of single raw stuff or complex feed.

When you consider protein efficiency, you must also check to ensure ample bypass protein, sufficient rumen degradable protein, and equal proportions of amino acids.

Do all this, and your cow's rumen health will always be tip-top. And if you need any supply of high-quality silage, our Silage Seller is always near your reach.
