Hi.
This time last week the cows were on an upward trajectory towards a 30kg average at 0 19 kg/ cake / litre fed in parlour. The ration outside was balanced 3 forages n prot pellet. 2 Kgs.
Since Sunday the yld has fallen very quickly to 24kg.
Exactly the same ration. Mixed and fed automatically at same times and quantities so nothing has changed.
There was a bit more feed left over on Sunday into Monday than on Friday..( normally little poss 150 kg ) there was perhaps 250.
Exactly the same parlour cake fed in the 3 robots.
Rumination and eating times have barely altered according to the affi collars.. No cows have shown digestive disruptions.
Visits and milking frequency remain high at 3.4 milkings a day..
I have checked feeder calibration, milk meter calibration. Water is fine..
No mastitis, no illness in the shed atall..
What have I missed.
I have never seen anything like this..
I was chuffed that the cows were milking so well. And wallop.
