New Strata Feeding Recommendations

.25–.4 lb. Strata

Target early lactation cows out to 100 DIM to take advantage of the carryover milk economics, as well as balance for milk and milk fat.

Fresh Pen Only
.25–.4 lb. Strata

Start in the fresh pen only, when grouping is not aligned with the 1-100 DIM feeding recommendation.

One Group or Longer DIM Breeding Pens
.1–.2 lb. Strata

If you have just one group or longer DIM breeding pens, drop the rate to .1 lb. to start.
