[QUOTE="som farmer, post: 6851080, member: 86168"] perhaps we use different feeds, because we have been told, this is the right thing, it may well be, a closer look at what we do feed, and what we need to feed, is somewhat different. Any firm is reliant on selling product, the only way to increase profit, is either sell more, or sell something more, to customer. One way, is to sell extra add ons, mins, yeasts, fats etc, or as our nutritionist calls them, expensive bin bags, but a steady dairy farm, with a good system, is not going to earn any extra commission for the sales rep, so it is in their interest, to sell you something extra. Openly admit i got caught out years ago, feeding all sorts of 'bag' stuff, and getting no response, so, try this, or that. Changed nutritionist, and milk shot up, nearly 1000 litres per cow, the only extras, are mins, and some urea. Many farmers feed as they always have done, and continue to do so. Not put over well, but hope you get the idea, and not saying, what is, or isn't a correct way, just querying the why. [/QUOTE]
