The farm
- 55 cows in lactation (Simmental cattle)
- Average herd production: 10,300 liters
- 4,2 % fat
- 3,5 % protein
The goal
- Reduce of somatic cell count
- Improve of overall animal health
- Increase milk production
- Improve feed intake
Our solution
- 100 g JOSERA DairyPilot® + 300 g NutriEffect per animal/day
- 200g JOSERA DairyPilot® per cow/day somatic cell counts during summer months
The success
By using DairyPilot®, the feed intake, performance, and overall health of the herd markedly improved. Most importantly, the somatic cell count was reduced from an average of 180,000 cells/mL to less than 90,000 cells/mL. This implied that more than 85% of the herd achieved to maintain healthy udders! Additionally, an increment of the milk production was attained, from a herd average of 9,600 to 10,400 liters.
The statement
“DairyPilot® delivers more stability and certainty to my herd, both in terms of feed intake and health. Since we started using it, the animals are healthier and less often affected by problems such as mastitis. This has lowered our vet bills. The positive effect of DairyPilot® is especially pronounced during the summer months.”
