Save on your feed costs with Farmdesk

The world is under the spell of the corona crisis. Unfortunately, in addition to the physical and mental suffering, milk prices are falling due to the downturn in the market, possibly for a longer period of time. A difficult time for many dairy farmers is upon us again.

Even more than before, it will be the feed costs per kg of milk in the short term that will determine what the future will look like. Soon 50% of the production costs on the livestock farm consists of feed costs. As a dairy farmer you should know how high these costs are on your farm in order to be able to quickly steer towards 10 cents per liter of milk. In many cases this is currently 16 cents or more. The difference between the feed costs, the selling price and of course the amount of liters determine your income!

Increase your profitability
To gain immediate insight, a very user-friendly computer system is now available that you as a dairy farmer can use. With the Farmdesk module there is continuous insight into the costs and it is possible to send this directly if desired. It is not necessary to do this at the end of a period or year, but optimization can be done at any suitable time. With Farmdesk it is possible to increase profitability by saving on feed costs. For a farm with 100 dairy cows and a production of 10.000 liters/cow, for example, this results in a balance that is EUR 50.000 higher if 5 cents per liter of milk are saved on feed costs.
