Want to save on feed costs? Ask Tim for advice
Feed costs largely determine the total costs on the dairy farm. For various reasons, these have increased in recent years, putting further pressure on the balance.
The first step for improving the operating result is achieved by improving the yield, but also by improving the quality of the roughage produced on the farm. Tim van Houtum, SEED2FEED Advisor at KWS, explains more about how this is being achieved in the video below.
The key to reducing feed costs lies in the choice of certain crops and their cultivation. By focusing on cultivation, maximizing the yield and quality potential of your own soil and making even better use of the ration, you can increase the feed efficiency on your dairy farm.
Understanding feed costs is the first step to improving them. With Farmdesk, our management software for dairy farms, you can monitor your feed costs transparently on a daily basis. The software supports you in managing your feed ration yourself and at the same time takes into account the choice of cultivation of the appropriate crops.
As part of the SEED2FEED concept, Farmdesk is therefore very suitable for keeping the initiative in the quest to improve the balance of your dairy farm.
Do you also want to keep the steering wheel of your company in your own hands, save on feed costs and therefore more information about SEED2FEED? Please contact Tim (tim.vanhoutum@kws.com) or look at our website.
