Dairy cows
Feeding dairy cows is a major lever for farm profitability. It is possible to significantly increase herd productivity and at the same time improve the health and fertility of dairy cattle by using TRADILIN® and adapting the daily feed ration to their specific needs.
Higher milk yield and enhanced milk quality
The high quality energy provided by TRADILIN® leads to enhanced feed efficicency and, consequently, higher herd milk yield:
- +1.5 TO 3 LITRES more milk per cow per day
TRADILIN® allows to increase the energy level of the ration with no risk of acidosis and, at the same time, reduces the energy loss resulting from the production of enteric methane, -9% methane per litre of milk for an average dose of TRADILIN®. This energy is then used by the dairy cows for milk production and leads to increased milk yield.
The nutritional quality of milk is also better balanced: twice as much omega-3 and 10% less saturated fatty acids.
Improved health for your cattle
Unlike the high omega-6 content in maize and soybeans, the omega-3 provided by TRADILIN® lessens inflammatory reactions and boosts the immune system. This leads to a reduced use of antibiotics and lower veterinary costs.
On top of that, the high quality fat contained in TRADILIN® is non-acidogenic and reduces the risk of acidosis.
The demonstrated benefits of TRADILIN® for dairy cows health:
- -10% ketosis
- -3% metritis
- GLOBAL MORTALITY divided by 2
Improved fertility and reproduction
Both the omega-3 of TRADILIN®, which act as a hormone precursor, and its lignans improve fertility, so cows remain in heat for longer and with better results at insemination.
TRADILIN® has also demonstrated that it shortens the calving interval, leading to an increased productivity of the whole herd.
TRADILIN® benefits for the fertility and reproduction of dairy cows:
- +10% in calf rate at first AI
- -10 DAYS of calving interval
- 5 TO 11 DAYS earlier first calving for the heifers born from a cow fed with TRADILIN®
VISIOLAC® is a unique decision making web plat-form for account managers advising dairy farmers.
VISIOLAC® uses the MIR fatty acids analysis to deliver advices to farmers, thanks to a set of equations which valorize the fatty acids into zootechnical parameters. Equations are the results of strong Valorex R&D programs. 3 different experiences with 3 reports are available in the tool.
- First Steps
The first steps experience is the one to start the introduction to fatty acids and TRADILIN® to farmers, making the link between the important fatty acids and efficiency or health parameters.
- technical
The technical report delivers precise evaluations of zootechnical performances and contributes to fine tune ration and especially maximize the benefits we can get out of TRADILIN®.
- environment
The methane report estimates methane emission per litre of milk using INRAE-Valorex patented equation. Technicians can design methane decreasing strategy with farmers combining efficiency, economy and care of the planet.
