Adding Selko TMR to the ration increases milk production of dairy cows
Fresh total mixed ration for dairy cows contains yeasts, moulds and bacteria. Growth of these micro-organisms in a TMR for dairy cows leads to heating and fermentation, which reduces both the palatability and the feeding value of a ration for dairy cattle. On a warm summer day, losses of 5% of dry matter in a TMR for cows as a result of heating of cattle silages are not uncommon.
Selko TMR for dairy cattle is a blend of organic acids that reduces the growth of yeasts, moulds and bacteria in dairy feed. As a result of the reduction in growth of micro-organisms in the dairy ration, increases in temperature of TMR are delayed by at least 6 hours. Purpose of the current trial was to test the impact of feeding Selko TMR on milk production of dairy cows.
