[QUOTE="Whisper64, post: 6651592, member: 82192"] Looking for advice/ideas. We are a AYR herd averaging 6500l with Channel Islands cows. Have a mixer wagon which the milkers are fed blend, fodder beet and grass silage. Dry cows were fed through mixer wagon too but we were experiencing fresh cow problems. For the last 3-4 months we have moved to feeding round bales from low input land with low P and K values and dry cow rolls. Although things have improved with less retained cleansing, ketosis, whites etc things are still not fantastic. We have taken bloods with our vets and these are suggesting that the close up calvers have not got enough energy. I was just wandering what people’s dry cow diets are and what they have had success with as obviously something is not working with ours! [/QUOTE]
