​BENEFITS

​

• Improved feed efficiency

• Increased feed utilization - 4% increase in efficiency compared to conventional feeding of forage and grains fed separately

• Increased  milk production - up to 5% higher with TMR, compared to a conventional ration

• Decreased incidence of digestive and metabolic problems

• Accuracy of the given mixed ingredients compared to feeding ingredients separately

• Reduced labor costs

• Less feed waste - blending all the feeds together in a TMR can mask the flavor of less palatable feeds

• Less sorting. With proper mixing, the cattle cannot pick out the most palatable food and leave the less palatable. So each cow receives a uniform diet.
