Practical Indicators of Nutrition in the Milking Herd

It is possible to assess certain aspects of nutrition in the milking herd if you know the signs. This video covers some of the visual indicators you can use to identify issues with protein nutrition, suboptimal rumen health and acidosis. These indicators include looking at the manure, rumination behaviour and rumen fill, as well as cow condition and appearance which can be related to issues with feeding management and the housing environment.
