Las grasas suplementarias aumentan la energía, el rendimiento lechero y la reproducción en el ganado lechero. Mantenga la grasa total por debajo del 7% de la materia seca para garantizar un rendimiento óptimo.
Explore strategies to reduce methane from anaerobic manure storage—digestion, solids separation, acidification, and frequent emptying—with costs and tradeoffs.
Supplemental fats boost energy, milk yield, and reproduction in dairy cattle. Keep total fat below 7% of dry matter to ensure optimal performance.
Learn how to choose the best barn fans to keep dairy cows cool and healthy using a new university app.
Learn how Wisconsin dairy teams and vets use teamwork to improve farm efficiency, employee relationships, and cow health.
A free UW-Madison browser tool helps dairy farmers calculate whether improved fresh cow monitoring pays off by comparing disease costs across program levels.
High-oleic soybeans offer dairy farmers a lower milk-fat-depression risk than conventional soybeans, with research showing increased milk fat and similar yields.
Evalúe el Índice de Condición Corporal (ICC) para optimizar la salud, producción de leche y reproducción. El puntaje ideal al parto es 3.0.
Research-based strategies to improve dairy cattle health, welfare, and marketability through proactive herd management and animal care standards.
See your farm through a new lens — and get better data while you’re at it. Find out how drones are changing the way dairy farmers monitor fields, animals, and environmental conditions. You’ll hear directly from researchers about real field trials, learn how drone measurements stack up against traditional methods, and walk away knowing what these findings could mean for your operation.
Free online tools help dairy farmers design mechanical ventilation systems, compare fan efficiency, and estimate long-term energy costs.
Heat stress can reduce milk production and hurt cow health. The Heat Abatement Investment Scouter from UW–Madison Extension helps dairy farmers compare the cost of cooling upgrades with potential milk losses. This tool supports smarter decisions that improve cow comfort and farm profitability.
