NWF Agriculture - The Importance of Diet Sieving

NWF Sales Specialist, Ryan McPherson discusses the importance of diet sieving on your farm.
Diet sieving is a technique that helps you get the best from your rations. The way cows perform on a diet depends not only on the nutritional specification of the diet but also on the physical form of the ration. The sieve is a mechanism to assess the physical breakdown of diets and to compare what is being fed to targets and modify diets accordingly. The system predicts what the breakdown of the particle sizes will be when the diet is formulated. It also assesses the quality of the fibre in the diet and how effective it is in promoting chewing and rumination, both of which are essential for good growth.
