hi just wondered what other people's diets are for cows 3-4 weeks off calving , just I have been experiencing some retained cleansings,the milk fever is ok tested some cows fresh calved and there calcium status was ok ! The cows are looking well before calving but I have been getting 1 out of 8 not cleanse anyone have an ideas ? They are brown Swiss cattle yielding about 9500 kg + I'm feeding 8 kg maize ,8kg chopped haylage average quality , and 4kg Brewers grains and mag chloride and calcium sulphate in diet , and a specialist dry cow nut with a calcium binder in at 2.5 kg per head , and ad lib haylage in ring feeders ,The cows are housed, I'm just wondering if there are any simple systems out there which work ? I was thinking of feeding ad lib haylage and a dry cow nut but was told the haylage alone would not supply enough energy , many thanks would appreciate your replies
