DairyImmediate insight into dairy herd ration efficiency
Because rations must produce returns, the ration efficiency on a dairy farm is of key importance. Ration efficiency is expressed in kilograms of fat and protein-corrected milk (FPCM) produced by a dairy herd on the basis of the kilograms of dry matter consumed. From an economic perspective, for a dairy farm it is essential that the production per kilogram of dry matter is as high as possible. Assuming equal costs, this increases the farm's cash flow. Economic calculations involving the assessment of a new farming strategy clearly demonstrate that it is easier for a farm to meet its obligations when, in addition to any growth in the number of cows, it also realises higher production levels.
