Lander Veterinary Clinic provides our producers with experienced on-farm nutritional consultations and feeding plans for dairy herds and individual patients in a cost-effective manner. Many dynamic factors can influence nutrient requirements and availability from feeds.
The nature of dairy farms in the Central Valley is diverse by specific operation. Analysis of protein level in feed content, feed efficiency in lactating cows, phosphorus levels and other environmental considerations can significantly affect feed costs and profitability. In addition, consultation on feed commodity markets can be beneficial to the overall planning process.
