[QUOTE="Married 2 The Mob, post: 2663388, member: 1134"] Speaking as perhaps one of a minority who are trying it, I certainly am not trying to slow down cows that I have artificially forced into producing unnatural amounts of milk. Typically , 7.5- 8.5 k litre cows getting very little concentrate at the end of lactation. But nonetheless, cows with a natural willingness to keep going. The aim is to reduce udder engorgement and reduce / stop teat leakage in known candidates. DC therapy over many years, and like many farmers has enabled me to consistently deliver the quality milk the market [U]demands[/U]. The emphasis is now starting to shift, and I recognise I need to shift with it. Teat sealants are part of the picture, but ( I feel ) they need an aid to deliver the same quality of result. So I am [U]trying[/U] this. The paddock + bellyfill scenario might work for some cows, but for others that are otherwise unprotected it would be a mastitis / summer mastitis generating exercise.
