[QUOTE="Jdunn55, post: 7529333, member: 81760"] I'm hoping someone can offer me some help, my fpd has been sailing close to the cut off for a while now but the last few collections it's been very low about 504 usually. This has only happened since3the cows have been grazing more grass (been turned into the silage fields) said fields are a fair walk away from the farm and I'm concerned that the fpd is being caused by the cows becoming thirsty on the way into the yard and then drinking loads of water before milking. I've seen before that sometimes restricting water before milking can help but I feel a bit cruel doing so? I've also just had a load of rock salt turn up which I've heard can help so that will be available from today. Any other suggestions?? It's only costing 15 quid a collection at the minute but that soon adds up! [/QUOTE]
