That may sound contradictory, but it happens more often than many dairy farmers realize. During mixing, feeding, and consumption by the cow, small deviations occur that, over time, can have major consequences for milk production, rumen health, and feed efficiency.  <\/p><p>That is precisely why a feed intake check is not just a snapshot, but a practical tool for monitoring what your cows are actually consuming.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-35a3dfb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"35a3dfb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why a calculated ration is not always the same as the actual ration fed<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a90e84b elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a90e84b\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A ration calculation is based on fixed initial values. In practice, however, things are constantly changing. <\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Consider:<\/p><ul data-spread=\"false\"><li>varying dry matter contents of forage;<\/li><li>variation between pits;<\/li><li>inaccuracies during mixing;<\/li><li>selection of food at the feeding rack;<\/li><li>Changes in the TMR throughout the day.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">As a result, the ration the cow eats can differ significantly from the ration that was originally formulated.

If so, these signs may indicate that a check is needed: <\/p><ul data-spread=\"false\"><li>a decrease in milk production with no apparent cause;<\/li><li>fluctuations in milk fat or milk protein;<\/li><li>reduced rumination;<\/li><li>varying manure composition;<\/li><li>selective feeding behavior at the feed fence;<\/li><li>rising feed costs without improved performance;<\/li><li>differences among groups of cows.<\/li><\/ul><p>A ration check objectively identifies where the discrepancies occur.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-bccffa1 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"bccffa1\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What does a ration check examine?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-2e47bb9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"2e47bb9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A feed ration check does not just examine the calculated composition, but rather the mixed ration as it is actually fed to the cow. The sample is analyzed for various parameters that together provide a complete picture of the feed quality. <\/p><p>Among other things, the following are specified:<\/p><table width=\"415\"><tbody><tr><td width=\"161\">Dry matter<\/td><td width=\"178\">Soluble crude protein (%RE)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>pH<\/td><td>Crude fat (hydr)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Acetic acid<\/td><td>Crude fiber<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Lactic acid<\/td><td>Sugar<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Crude ash<\/td><td>Starch<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>VCOS (%OS)<\/td><td>Neutral Detergent Fibre<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><sub>NH3<\/sub> fraction (%RE)<\/td><td>NDF digestibility (%NDF)<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Nitrate<\/td><td>Acid Detergent Fibre<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Crude protein<\/td><td>Acid Detergent Lignin<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Total crude protein<\/td><td> <\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><p>This combination of analyses shows just how stable, digestible, and balanced the diet actually is.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4d7c1d5 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"4d7c1d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Why measure at the feed fence?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d74e228 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"d74e228\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A laboratory analysis of individual raw materials provides a lot of information, but does not always reveal what the cow ultimately eats.

That is why Jodoco discusses each feed ration review in person. Depending on the results, adjustments can be made to the following areas, among others:  <\/p><ul data-spread=\"false\"><li>composition of the diet;<\/li><li>mixing order;<\/li><li>dry-matter adjustments;<\/li><li>structural facility;<\/li><li>protein and energy utilization;<\/li><li>preservation of forage;<\/li><li>feed management.<\/li><\/ul><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The goal is not to make as many changes as possible, but rather to get more out of the same feed through targeted optimizations.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c37559d elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c37559d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">When is a ration check a good idea?<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5cf06b4 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5cf06b4\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A ration check is useful for several reasons, including:<\/p><ul data-spread=\"false\"><li>after opening a new silo;<\/li><li>in the event of changes in milk production;<\/li><li>during feed changes;<\/li><li>when feed costs rise;<\/li><li>for digestive health issues;<\/li><li>as part of a periodic business audit.<\/li><\/ul><p>By taking measurements early on, minor deviations can often be resolved before they have major consequences.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">A good feed ration starts with a good calculation, but it doesn&#8217;t end there.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In the end, it\u2019s the real-world situation that determines what the cow actually consumes. A feed ration check provides insight into that difference and helps you make informed decisions based on measurement data rather than assumptions. <\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Would you like to know if your current feed ration still matches the calculated composition? The specialists at Jodoco would be happy to perform a feed ration check and translate the results into practical advice you can put into action right away. <\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><strong>The
