TMR Feeding

Descripción del producto

Providing proper nutrition to dairy cows is important for health and optimal milk production. Dairy cow rations must contain good quality forages, a balance of grains and protein sources plus minerals and vitamins. These feed sources provide the nutrients needed by the dairy cow for milk production, growth and reproduction. Feeds must be fed in the right amount and combination to provide a balance of nutrients avoiding excesses or deficiencies. When rations are formulated or balanced correctly to meet the nutrient requirements of the cow, optimum feed digestion and utilization results. Feeding a total mixed ration (TMR) that contains all the feeds and nutrients required by the cow is an effective, efficient and profitable way to feed dairy cows.
 
What is a Total Mixed Ration (TMR)?
A TMR or Total Mixed Ration is a method of feeding cows that combines all forages, grains, protein feeds, minerals, vitamins and feed additives formulated to a specified nutrient concentration into a single feed mix. The TMR or complete ration mix is then offered free choice.
 
Why Feed a TMR?
- With a TMR, a cow eats a nutrient balanced ration in every bite or mouthful she consumes.
- Cows eat a predetermined amount of forages and concentrates necessary for good production and health. Selective consumption of feeds by cows is minimized.
- The risk of digestive upsets is reduced, rumen pH stabilized and rumen digestion of feeds optimized as cows have to consume the mix of feeds and nutrients in the TMR rather than selective consumption of individual feed ingredients. Providing a uniform supply of protein and carbohydrates to the rumen bacteria throughout the day maximizes rumen fermentation and the production of rumen bacteria. Consuming a mix of feeds and nutrients with every bite will optimize milk production and keep cows healthy.
- TMR mixers can reduce the work of feeding cows and save labor costs.
- A TMR provides more control and accuracy of the feed amounts fed than when feeds are fed as separate ingredients.
- Feeding a TMR correctly balanced to nutrient specifications can increase milk production 1 to 2.5 kg per cow per day.
- Milk fat and other components can increase because of the better rumen fermentation and balance of nutrients being consumed.
- Small amounts of low quality forages or unpalatable feed ingredients can be successfully fed and better utilized by the cow when fed in a TMR rather than when fed as individual separate feeds.
- With the use of TMR mixers, the daily feed intake of cows is easier to measure. By knowing daily feed or dry matter intakes, the correct amounts of feed and nutrients can be fed minimizing wastage and reducing the cost of feeding.
 
With an area of ​​approximately 2,**0 hectares for TMR raw materials and the most advanced technology from France, Denmark, G.AIC will provide TMR which help to increase milk production and milk quality in livestock.
As plan, G.AIC project will have 5 TMR plants. The designed capacity of a plant is **0 tons/day. After supplying to all the cows of the project, expected to sell at domestic market as weel as export *5,**0 tons in ***4 and up to ***2 will be **0,**0 tons/year.
