Managing a dairy farm you need instruments to keep on course and realise your targets and meet results. The Friesian dairy monitoring provides several possibilities to increase profitability of your dairy farm.
Cost price reduction
One way of gaining more profit is reducing the costs. But how do you know where and how to interfere in your daily dairy farm operation? We developed/specialised a methodology which enables us to make a detailed scan of the technical and financial performance of your dairy farm. The outcome of this scan presents how you can achieve a reduction of the costprice per hundred kilograms of milk. We ensure you that with the advice given, you can increase the profitability of your farm considerably. Of course The Friesian gladly supports you on further farm improvement issues like milk quality and continuous milk management.
Feed and fodder
Feed and fodder is a key element in profitability. Not everywhere dairy farms have the possibility to feed the cattle mainly on pasture. Balance between the (available) feed and fodder, climate and other circumstances at your dairy farm(s) is of the utmost importance for milk production and profitability. Our experts can assist you in various ways regarding feed and fodder management:
• Specialized ration calculation for high and low productive dairy cows as well as beef cattle.
• Sampling/analyzing your roughage + advice for optimal use.
• Startup of harvesting equipment + instruction for making first silage.
• Short term/long term planning of necessary stocks of roughage and feed ingredients.
• Calculation of farm specific mixed feed and mineral mixes.
• Advice on construction of feed mills and least cost optimalisation of mixed feeds.
• Trouble shooting dairy health/production problems possibly related to feeding issues.
Veterinary services
Obviously, in the dairy sector animal health is a key factor. Not only concerning food safety, but also related to the profitability of dairy companies. The Friesian offers various veterinary services to improve and/or maintain the health of the animals. For large scale dairy farms we execute quick scans to check the veterinary practises – as well as preventative as curative – on the farm. This results in a step-by-step plan for improvement. This will have a direct influence on the technical performances of the company.
We also organise practical training for veterinarians who are active on dairy farms. This training takes place in The Netherlands or in the country of origine. This depends on the situation and preferences of the client.
In case of a specific veterinary problem, it’s possible to send a Dutch veterinary specialist. This specialist works dedicated to solve the specific problem as soon as possible.
