Don't Feed Cows Like You Did 20 Years Ago with Ted Perry
Have questions or comments? We'd love to hear from you!
High-performance genetics need high-performance nutrition. Cows are the engine that drive the industry, and high-performing cows need highly tuned fuel. If you're still feeding cows the way you did 20 years ago, you're shortchanging those modern genetics, says Ted Perry with Purina Animal Nutrition.
He and host Miranda Reiman chat about what cows need, fetal programming effects, and plenty more.
They discuss:
How mineral intake during the last trimester can affect up to 30-40 pounds of weaning weight in that calf.
How feeding a cow during drought affects a calf's entire lifetime performance.
In utero development and minerals fed to the mama affect a heifer's future reproductive performance.
How to tell if a cow is truly getting what she needs.
How to maximize the use of low-quality hay.
Much, much more!
