Losses due to out-of-specification carcases is a major drain on finishing margins, but can be largely avoided by better matching rations to cattle requirements.

Careful choice of starch feeds is critical this winter if milk producers are to get the most from this year’s grass silages and maximise margin over feed costs.

The key to getting the most milk out of this year’s winter forage is to correctly balance nutrient supply for efficient fibre fermentation in the rumen.

Ration sugars will be critical to maximising feed efficiency and milk from forage this winter, yet most UK dairy diets currently fall short of the required minimum.

Taking more cuts of grass silage will increase feed value, but the extra protein can make creating a winter ration that’s below 19% crude protein a challenge.

Winter milk yield loss as cows replenish excess body condition lost through late summer can cost more than three times the feed needed to maintain condition.

Missing early growth potential in late-maturing beef cattle due to low ration protein quality extends finishing, increases feed requirements and reduces margins.
