Any Jersey breeders ever try crossing with a norwegian red? If so what kind of cow did you end up with and what system are you running, ( seasonal calving/all year calving, housed/grazed?)
Where do you get that? We had been on a partial dcab but were getting a lot of sub clinical milk fevers so switched to the xzelit. Cleared up the calcium problem but started getting cows calving with low phosphorus levels and not very keen on milking cow tmr and a few with high ketone levels...
Yea we are using that, half a kilo a day through the diet feeder, had you much bother with palatability? Has knocked 2-3kg freshweight intakes off our cows, and post calving they are very slow to eat the milking tmr. Have blood tested a few cows and their calcium levels were spot on although...
@Homesy Sorry not me, have nmr silent herdsman in, a good job although the collars give a lot of bother and dont last. Have it in 10 years nearly and the computer has started giving bother to.
Just wondering what way other jersey herds manage their dry cow diets? Had quite a bit of bother with sub clincial milk fever and ketosis last year and looking ideas to sort it for incoming calving season. Had been feeding haylage and a dry cow nut. Thanks
