Nutrient supply and demand
To produce wholesome, high-quality milk, your cows need a wholesome, high-quality diet. Yet before that diet is formulated, it is critical to clearly understand both the nutrient supply that can be delivered through the feed ingredients and the nutrient demand of the animals.
At Cargill, we have developed several tools to measure, evaluate and record nutrient variables. This robust nutrient vocabulary gives you flexibility in creating formulations that allow you to respond to market conditions at the speed of business. These tools are integrated so that your dairy cows can get the nutrients they need, in the ingredients that offer the best cost, and in the physical forms that are the most effective.
