Dairy Cow Nutrition Course Well Received!
This spring, Nutrivice Consultancy B.V., MijnVoer.nl, and Liba jointly organized an intensive dairy cow nutrition course for farmers from Belgium and the Netherlands.
Starting in March with nearly 100 participants, the course was recently completed after some COVID-related delays. Feedback was very positive, with an average rating above 8/10. Many farmers expressed interest in continuing education, so Nutrivice and Liba will launch “Dairy Nutrition” study groups this year—three meetings annually to revisit and deepen key topics. Smarter feeding still offers great opportunities to improve lifetime production, feed margins, and efficiency.
Farmers joined the course to gain better insight into rations, become stronger discussion partners with feed suppliers, and improve feed transparency and cost control. Increasingly, they focus on economic indicators such as feed efficiency, feed margin, and purchase index, recognizing that knowledge is key to improvement.
Over four days, participants explored cow digestion, feed ingredients, ration calculations, and practical on-farm applications. They learned to evaluate silages, analyze rations, and assess cow condition and manure to optimize performance. The program combined science-based knowledge with hands-on learning—highly appreciated by all participants.
The final session featured a demonstration of the MijnVoer.nl platform, showing how farmers can calculate compound feed prices directly from their own feed data. The course concluded with discussions on dry cow nutrition and practical Q&A.
The “Dairy Cow Nutrition” course will be offered again this winter.

Ruminant Nutrition advice by Nutrivice Consultancy
Many consultants can tell you what could be improved on your dairy farm. Far fewer can propose the right measures and actually implement them.
The consultants at Nutrivice Consultancy specialize in both identifying and implementing the correct solutions.
We design rations for all groups of dairy cattle on your farm. It doesn’t matter whether you work with TMR, PMR, concentrate feeders, milking robots, or individual ingredients. We use the latest scientific nutritional standards. As an independent nutrition consultancy, we do not produce feed ourselves and are not tied to any specific feed manufacturers. This allows us to remain completely independent and tailor our advice to what works best for your farm, regardless of where you source your feed.
