Feed bunk management is one of the most critical factors affecting dairy farm profitability, milk production, and herd health.
In this video, Cristian Rota, PhD in Agricultural Management, explains why monitoring dry matter intake (DMI) on a daily basis is essential to optimize feeding strategies and improve overall farm efficiency.
The video focuses on key topics such as feed intake measurement, feed refusals management, empty feed bunk risks, and daily feeding routines. Small inaccuracies in feed bunk management can quickly lead to lost intake, increased feed waste, ration sorting, and reduced economic margins.
Effective feed bunk management means:
ensuring feed availability 24/7
minimizing feed refusals and sorting
turning daily feeding data into practical, data-driven decisions
This video is the first episode of a six-part series dedicated to feeding management in dairy farms, aimed at helping farmers, nutritionists, and advisors improve feed efficiency and profitability through better control of the feed bunk.
Discover why “the last bite before midnight” can make a real difference in dairy farm performance.
