The challenge: Dairy cows often have problems that manifest themselves in a low level of oestrus symptoms and reduced insemination success. These difficulties are usually not due to the high milk yield, but to insufficient energy supply to the animals. After calving, it is crucial that the dairy cow returns to the oestrus cycle as […]
The challenge: On the basis of conventional rations (grass, maize, concentrated feed), it is difficult to achieve milk yields above 8.000 kg / year. This can only be achieved with an additional energy supply. Especially in stressful situations but also phases of high performance (e.g. during early lactation) it is important to ensure energy supply. […]
The challenge: Energy deficiency in the first third of lactation After calving the nutritional requirement of the dairy cow increases rapidly, whereas ration intake increases slowly. This leads to an immense energy deficiency during the first 100 days of lactation. Also, the estrous cycle begins again which may lead to further pregnancy. The challenge is […]
