By Jonathan Hill<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of my Yorkshire clients is definitely bucking the trend on milk production this winter. Whilst many farmers are suggesting that cows are not milking as well as they did last winter Roger & Tom Hildreth\u2019s cows are producing three litres a cow more than last year and with a lower feed use.  <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A spot\ncheck showed the cows are averaging 40 litres a day sold, at a feed rate (which\nincludes dry cow feed) of 0.29 kg\/l, this gives a feed cost of 6.22p per litre.\nThere has also been an improvement in milk quality, especially butterfat, in\ncomparison to last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I had\nextensive discussions with my client last winter in order to meet the probable\nfuture requirements of their milk buyer to improve the carbon footprint of\nthe herd\u2019s production. We made the decision to stop feeding soya which was\nreplaced with urea and rape meal. This winter these straights are fed as a\nbalance diet with forage of 50:50 grass and maize silage. Supplementary feeding\nwith a buying group cake is through out of parlour feeders. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together\nwe monitor technical improvement using Milkminder, our performance management\ntool. It\u2019s great to see the advice I\u2019ve been giving delivering such positive\nimprovements. Ultimately it is down to my client\u2019s attention to detail in all\naspects of the business from genetics to forage quality that makes the biggest\ndifference and also shows there is a lot that can be done to improve farm\nemissions without sacrificing performance or increasing costs. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
