Highest lifetime performance for Henk Verheijen
Dairy farmer Henk Verheijen (49) has been working with Nutrivice Consultancy since the beginning of 2020. Since the start of the collaboration, we support him and his farm with independent ruminant nutrition advice and this ensures good results.
On his farm Henk milks 90 cows that achieve an annual average of 9915 kilos of milk with 4,48% fat and 3,59% protein. In addition, he achieved in the past financial year the highest lifetime performance in the Netherlands. A result that makes him and us very proud!
According to the dairy farmer, the good outcomes are a result of a good balance in management. For the last 25 years bull use has been based on the aAa system. In addition, he milks his cows with two robots and applies outdoor grazing. He also takes care of the claws himself. During drying, cows are trimmed and cows with Mortellaro are treated weekly with spray and tape as long as needed.
At the end of the nineties, the disorders para-tbc and BVD were successfully combated and the company became free of IBR by itself. In his own words, this has taught the dairy farmer to be careful with his cows and we can see that it pays off.
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.
