Nutritional requirements, diet calculations and measurement of soil in the nutritional management of dairy cows
Abstract
When elaborating a feeding management for lactating cows, it is necessary to analyze the level of production, the stage of lactation, the expected consumption of dry matter, the body corporal score of the animal, among other aspects, in order to meet the nutritional requirements of the same. From this, it is possible to formulate diets for the dairy herd, which will adequately combine the nutrients in a way that meets the demand and stimulating the production potential of the animals in an efficient way for the system. However, the correct balancing is only one of the components for a good nutritional management, and the measurement of leftovers is an important factor, since the excess of food in the trough generates financial losses. Thus, the present study aims to address the nutritional requirements of dairy cows, as well as diet calculations and leftover measurement, important points to increase the producer profitability in their system.
