Feed2Milk

Feed2Milk is a unique approach to dairy cow nutrition focused on cow health, milk yield, milk quality and fertility.

Did you know over 28% of all dairy cows in the UK are fed Feed2Milk feeds. Our Dairy Specialists operate nationwide and have analysed more than 300,000 cow performance records, this collectively makes us the UK's leading supplier of dairy nutrition products and services.

What is the Feed2Milk approach?

Feed2Milk starts with analysis of homegrown forage using dry NIR, then carefully formulates and accurately measures nutrient content of feed, then onto the Optifeed rationing program which matches the nutrients supplied with the requirements of the cow, to predict performance and ration efficiency.

Our Feed2Milk system expresses these predictions through a set of figures, including:

• MELK – More Energy for the Lactating Cow (indication of true milk yield potential from energy) 
• TDP – True Digestible Protein (digestible protein available for milk production)
• RFC – Rapidly Fermentable Carbohydrate (indicating rumen health risk)
• AI – Acidosis Index (predicting the risk of acidosis)
• RI – Rumination Index (structural fibre supply)

These figures help provide information about a herd’s potential performance and give a much better understanding of how each individual farm’s forage will perform. The Feed2Milk system then uses over 3,000 equations resulting in a tailored Optifeed ration program for your herd, that optimises rumen function and predicts the best performance outcome of a ration.
