The feed complements the nutritional components of high-quality levels of maize silage and or poor-quality mature roughages such as veld grass. The feed contains high natural nutritional components with 21 % Crude Protein and a balanced energy profile.
Give a lactating cow a minimum of 3.0 kg /cow /day (maintenance) up to 6 litres of milk produced. Thereafter give the cow 500 – 600 grams /litre of milk produced with adlib tum access to maize silage, poor-quality mature roughages such as veld grass, wheat straw and grass hay.
