Dairymen have a lot of decisions to make in order to keep their operations efficient and profitable. Which milking equipment company should you work with? Whom should you buy your vaccines from? Which bull should be bred to which cow? What should you feed the cows?
Canolamazing is here to help when it comes to feed choices, specifically protein sources. Canola meal has high levels of rumen undegradable protein (RUP) and an exceptional amino acid profile, making it an efficient by-product protein source for lactating dairy cows. But that’s on paper.
That’s where the Dairy Feed Calculator comes in. This online tool allows dairymen and nutritionists to compare canola meal to other popular plant-based protein sources, on the basis of RUP and your local price. Visitors simply choose the protein source they would like to compare canola meal to, and an image pops, quickly informing you which protein source packs the biggest punch when it comes to RUP.
We did the math. Now you can, too. Check out the Dairy Feed Calculator here.
