We have the answers to your questions
In dairy cows, the weeks before and after calving play a crucial role in the longevity, health and performance of your cows. The dry period enables your dairy cows to rest and prepare for calving and the start of the next lactation. After calving, cows should be fed a well-balanced ration to achieve high peak milk production.
When rearing a heifer to become a well-developed and productive cow, not only are the first 6 months important but the entire period from birth to calving. At each stage of your heifer's life, the nutritional needs are different. The Kaliber Calf Rearing Plan meets the requirements of your heifer at each phase of her life until calving. The Kaliber Calf rearing plan provides the optimal feeding strategy to suit your specific farm situation. As a result, you will rear heifers with Kaliber!
Each ration for cows consists of the farm's own roughage mixed with compound feed, by-products and other raw materials. Our feed advisors aim to balance the ration for a high milk production in a healthy way. And make optimal use of the roughage available. This will result in the most profitable strategy for your farm and the performance of the cows.
