Today’s high yielding dairy cow requires precise feeding to ensure that yield and milk quality are optimised, that she gets back in calf quickly and that she has minimal health problems during lactation. She then needs to be prepared for the next lactation.
Dairy compounds continue to offer significant advantages to farmers whether you:
- operate a simple system based on compound as the only supplement to forage
- use out of parlour feeders to target specific cows
- feed a small amount to supplement a TMR diet.

Temperature and humidity both play a role in thermal stress. Using the Temperature Humidity Index (THI) enables you to determine the level of summer stress on dairy cows. The Thermo Neutral Zone for dairy cows is 5-20°C, stress symptoms begin at a THI of 68; temperature of 24° and a relative humidity of 20 per cent. With the UK average humidity over 70 per cent, the heat stress threshold is reached at temperatures as low as 22°C.
