Poor growth but cows must still be fed properly

This has been a poor spring for growth, and it is causing a lot of hardship, when coupled with the poor winter feed situation.

But cows must be fed properly, and in the majority of cases, they require at least 2kg to 4kg concentrates.

Otherwise, there will be longer term serious consequences. The guideline should be to make optimum use of grass while feeding adequate concentrates to maintain good production, health and fertility.
