Feeding Signals

"You feed with your eyes"

Good feeding is the basis of your farm's success, not only financially but also in terms of production, animal health and fertility.

Feeding Signals answers the four practical questions that every dairy farmer and worker on every dairy farm asks :

• What should I feed ans how much ?
• What is the best way to make sure every animal gets the right ration ?
• How do I check that every animal is eating what they should be eating ?
• How do I make adjustments and solve particular problems ?

This book contains a fascinating array of practical tips ans valuable guidelines about the essance of healthy, economical feeding. Did you know that a cow that can't eat with the group eats her meals faster and takes in less feed overall ? That a dairy cow produces about 200 litres (53 US gal.) of saliva a day and pump about 15.000 litres (4.000 US gal.) of bllod through her udder ? And that most farms prefer not to feed early in the morning ?

In addition, Feeding Signals shows you what you as a dairy farmer can do today to improve your feed management, with reliable information, short explanations ans lots of images taken on working farms.
