In the pursuit of dairy excellence, delivering milk of the highest quality is crucial. Our comprehensive brochure "Fortifying cows, preserving milk against aflatoxins" delves into the critical strategies for mitigating these toxic agents, thereby protecting animal health, enhancing milk yield, and ensuring the economic viability of dairy operations. Download this essential guide to safeguarding your dairy herd against the invisible threat of mycotoxins and to elevate the standard of your milk production.

Some feed additives inhibit methane production in the rumen but may not have other effects on the animal. While these additives have the ability to reduce emissions by up to 30%, they may not impact milk production. As a result, they can increase the cost per kg of milk produced on the farm. Selko IntelliBond is a feed additive that increases feed efficiency which means that cows will continue to eat the same amount of feed, with a fixed methane production, but will produce more milk. As a result, the amount of methane produced per kg of milk goes down. Selko IntelliBond results in an increase of milk production without increasing intake. This way the cost per kg of milk produced goes down.

Unlock the secret to superior silage preservation. Selko TMR Dry offers a unique blend of organic acids, renowned for their ability to inhibit harmful micro-organisms like moulds, yeasts, and bacteria. Ensuring the quality of your TMR has never been easier. Dive into the science and test results behind Selko TMR Dry and discover how it not only reduces yeast counts significantly but also delays the heating of TMR, guaranteeing optimal nutritional quality for your cows.

The production of free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, is a natural result of day-to-day metabolism. Oxidative stress is a state where there is an imbalance between the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the antioxidant defenses of the body. ROS can cause damage to cells and tissues when they accumulate at high levels or when antioxidant defenses are compromised. Cattle can experience oxidative stress under various conditions like heat stress, receiving high-concentrate diets and when suffering from infections or inflammatory conditions.

B Vitamins play a crucial role as enzyme cofactors, aiding in the efficient breakdown of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins for energy release. Recent advancements in milk yield and production efficiency indicate a potential increase in B vitamin requirements. While rumen manufacture was previously believed to meet cows' daily needs, studies suggest that supplementing B vitamins can positively impact performance and reproduction. Discover how supplementation can optimize your dairy cow's health and productivity.

Selko Fytera Balance contains a mixture of different plant extracts with an effect on systemic inflammation and rumen fermentation. Selko Fytera Balance improves gut barrier function and has an effect on some of the receptors triggering the systemic inflammatory response that often occurs in dairy cows during the period before and immediately after calving.

Feed efficiency in dairy cows can be defined as kg of Energy Corrected Milk (ECM) per kg of dry matter consumed. Feed efficiency in lactating cows can vary from <1.3 to >2.0. There are a number of factors that have an impact on feed efficiency but improving digestibility of feed can have a huge impact on feed efficiency.

Reproductive performance is a critical component in cattle profitability. IntelliBond trace minerals are scientifically proven to improve trace mineral status, which can lead to improved quality of bull semen, enhanced embryo quality and improvement in AI pregnancy rates.

Dairy diets are easily contaminated with mycotoxins. They may be present at moderate levels, but feeding mycotoxins over an extended period can lead to chronic toxicity. Recently, new groups of mycotoxins, the so-called silage mycotoxins and other emerging mycotoxins are gaining importance and require an alternative approach. Download our brochure to learn more about the severe impact of mycotoxins on rumen health.

By using Selko IntelliBond which contains the hydroxy form of trace minerals, the use of sulphates can be avoided, which will result in an improvement of fibre digestion and gut health of dairy cows.

Selko LactiBute can be used to reduce hindgut acidosis in dairy cows. Feeding Selko LactiBute will increase milk production and fat percentage of milk.

Heat stress can have a very negative effects on animal welfare and performance. A heat stress control programme can greatly reduce these negative effects, but supplementation with NutriCool can result in further improvement. Trials have shown that supplementation with NutriCool can result in an increase of milk production of 1-3 litres per cow per day.

Selko-TMR is a blend of organic acids reducing growth of yeasts, moulds, Enterobacteriaceae and Salmonella in silage of dairy cows. The reduction in growth of micro-organisms delays increases in temperature of the TMR for at least 6 hours, Silages treated with Selko-TMR maintain their feeding value and palatabilty, resulting in a higher intake of dry matter.

Unlocking the real nutritional value of your feed starts with an easy on-site scanning process to analyse the nutrients in silage and raw materials. Providing your animals with a high-quality diet requires complete and instant control of the nutritional composition of your feed. The NutriOpt On-site Adviser allows you to perform analyses without samples leaving the site. As such, it offers quality control and insights into your raw materials to make better-informed decisions in your day-to-day use of raw materials.

Efficiency starts with optimising the energy supply to the udder. Propionate is a key source of energy for dairy cows. More energy from propionate in the rumen increases production efficiency, providing nutritionists and producers with options to increase herd profitability.
