A phone conversation that occurred
in March between Sue and a favorite customer:
“My baleage in 2012 was ‘junk’ compared to our normal
feed quality. It only had 10%-12%
protein although its energy values [from fiber digestibility] were
closer to normal. Our milk protein
dropped to 3.0% and we were afraid the milk or butterfat could also fall as the
season progressed.”
“Now with FASTRACK added (1 oz per cow per day) we are up
to 3.2% protein and our butterfat is at 4.5%. While we have not seen a production
increase (it will take spring grass to raise that) we did not lose production
either. Those kinds of components
raise the milk check values, and it is clear from the cow health this winter
that FASTRACK keeps good rumen action.”
