Learn why many high-yielding dairy cows produce more fat than they consume and why supplemental fat remains important for milk production, fertility, body condition and performance.

Learn what causes TMR heating, how it affects feed quality and dry matter intake, and how dairy producers can reduce spoilage and protect herd performance.

For many dairy farmers, one of the first signs of summer heat stress is not a dramatic drop in milk yield. Instead, it is often a gradual reduction in butterfat percentage.

Heat stress is becoming an increasingly important challenge for UK dairy farmers.

What makes a good fat supplement for dairy cows? Learn how to choose based on performance, consistency and ease of use, not just price or fat percentage.

Not all fats are equal. Discover why fatty acid profile matters more than fat percentage for dairy cow performance, efficiency and consistency.

Spring turnout is one of the biggest nutritional transitions of the year for dairy herds. Get turnout right, and it sets up the rest of the season. Get it wrong, and performance can take weeks to recover.

When milk price drops, it is natural to look across the system for places to save money. Fertility is one of those areas. It is easy to overlook, yet it has a direct and lasting impact on milk sold, cow health and the financial performance of the whole unit.

Mycotoxins are unavoidable contaminants in feed that reduce performance and animal health. This article explains how they develop, their effects, and how UFAC’s Mycotrap offers proven protection, backed by the University of Ghent.

As the temperature drops and cows are housed indoors, the nutritional, environmental and health needs of the herd change significantly. Planning early ensures a smooth transition and helps maintain production, fertility, and cow welfare throughout the colder months.

Mycotoxins are a hidden but serious threat to poultry production, often going unnoticed until performance and health begin to suffer.

As we move through the grazing season, grass quality and quantity can fluctuate. That’s where buffer feeding comes into play.
