Supplements

  • Remove genuine culls before feeding supplements
  • Calculate the cost and likely return from feeding supplement and have a 'trigger price' for supplement purchase
  • Feed supplements to hold the rotation and keep grazing residuals above 3cm height to prevent over grazing
  • Stop feeding supplements when residuals are more than 3.5-4cm height
  • Refer to the Response to Summer Feed table in DairyNZ Facts & Figures, page 33.
