Decreasing TMR variability to maximize ration cost savings

Decreasing TMR variability to maximize ration cost savings

Feed costs represent the single greatest cost for milk production. Total mixed ration (TMR) variability can significantly impact milk production and components, feed efficiency, and ration costs. This should come as no surprise, as cows thrive on consistency. However, because TMR variation can come from many different sources, it can be difficult to determine the exact cause and full impact.
