Important facts for improved profit
High yield and long lifetime for your cows – the key to good economy
The production cost per kg milk decreases with increased yield. Since approximately 40–50% of the total cost for one kg milk is feedstuff, exact and controlled feeding with DeLaval feed wagon FCC has a substantial impact on the total economy of your farm. Constant acidity in the rumen normally gives a better feed utilisation and higher intake of roughage.

Maximise your herd’s production potential – and your profit
Exact and individual control of concentrate feeding in relation to the cow’s position in the lactation cycle gives the optimal feed cost. Every one kg increase in milk at peak yield can represent up to 200 kg of extra milk throughout the cow’s lactation. A daily variation of ±10% in feeding accuracy (i.e. manual feeding) can result in 10–15% reduced profit due to higher feed cost or lost production. In addition, controlled feeding gives healthier animals.
