Growth in organic milk marketmdashbut no supply opportunitiesWhile the conventional liquid milk market is struggling thanks to supermarket price wars the prospects for the organic sector look bright Organic milk experienced a 64 value growth compared to a decline of 16 in the standard cowsrsquo milk sector The organic growth spurt equated to pound9 million worth of extra income taking the total to pound150m Sales of organic yogurts grew by 142 to pound142m while demand for cheese dropped 27 to a value of pound24m

milk marketing report also revealed that household penetration of organic milk increased by 10 to almost 25 of UK households over the last year although volume sales of organic milk only grew by 03 to 169m litres However UK supply and demand is currently in balance and ldquothere is little scope for new suppliers to enter the marketrdquo the company says ldquoOrganic milk sales are highly concentrated with 96 of sales through the grocery multiples channel Only 3 of sales go through the convenience sector compared with 14 for the total milk category This represents a key opportunity for organic milk and an imbalance that needs to be addressed given the growth projections for the small storeconvenience sector as a wholerdquo says the report The sector is also being challenged by retailers opting to in-crease the distribution of dairy alternatives non-cowsrsquo milk and

milks But OMSCo argues that ldquoout of all these sectors organic milk was the only one to record an increase in unit return on sales per point of distribution and therefore arguably the only sector deserving of an increase rather than a decrease in distributionrdquo The report can be downloaded from wwwomscocouk

Public support for dairy farmers in the south west

A poll of more than 1000 people across Cornwall and Devon has re-vealed that 85 of people would be prepared to pay more for local dairy products if it helps secure the long-term future of milk pro-duction in the region And almost half of those interviewed (42) are willing to pay at least 20 more for the dairy they purchase

-tors has also launched a new dedicated website to help raise aware-ness of the industrymdashwwwsupportswdairyfarmerscoukmdashalong with a pledge encouraging the public to buy Westcountry dairy

-stand and appreciate local farmers are not being paid enough for the milk they produce And while 87 of people said they prefer to buy local dairy products only 11 currently do so regularly

Feasibility study for new Welsh processing facility

The Welsh government are backing a potential expansion in dairy processing capacity following an independent review of the in-

-mendations published recently The government announced they would support a feasibility study examining the potential for a dairy processing facility in south-west Wales The study will be carried out under a Welsh Dairy Leadership Board and will be completed by December

Manufacturing increase

-tion led to a 13 increase in the volume of milk used to manu-facture dairy products in 2014 A total of 7018m litres of milk were used for manufacturing purposes in 2014 the highest volume seen since 2003 This helps explain why UK dairy farmers have been more exposed to the volatility of the global dairy commodity markets than during the past 10 years say DairyCo

Contracts and collaboration vital issues for industry

NFU dairy board chairman Rob Harrison looks at the current key issues facing the industry

ROB HARRISON COMMENT

It is fair to say that as dairy farmers both in the UK and

across the globe we have had a pretty tough time over the last six months Although at the NFU we are optimistic that things will improve later this year and that we can get back on track There has been a big shift dur-ing this crisis and we are seeing processors revert to type and milk contracts are regressing to the dark ages once again This is depressing to seemdashand we must urgently stop this in its tracks to keep the work of the last three years in pushing the industry forwards The im-portance of milk contracts cannot be overstated Huge discrepancies between what milk buyers are paying has become more common which

should lead to more accurate market-driven pricing However with an increasing lack of transpar-ency all we seem to have ended up with is groups of ldquohavesrdquo and ldquohave notsrdquo

Huge price differences

What is less widely known is that now more than ever we are seeing

paid on the same contract with too many farmers not maximis-ing their contract to gain the best return even when the base level is shockingly low We have seen cases of quality not reaching speci-

producing liquid milk on a solids contract and vice-versa It doesnrsquot matter if yoursquore selling for liquid

milk cheese or even running a supermarketmdashyou have to give the customer what they want Behind the scenes there has been a huge effort the last few months to make sure farmers who have been left outside of contract have their milk col-lected Although we

been managed it has not been easy and un-fortunately there are a number of farmers who will be on a market realisation or temporary contract because they have been dropped by their milk buyer

Securing future market

As milk producers there are lots of things that we should be doing to secure our market going forward1

job and we are all too busy farming to think about the marketing of our milk One of our biggest challenges as a farming union when talking to milk buyers is farmer apathy I have spoken to many farmers recently who donrsquot want to speak out in fear of

being dropped by their milk buyer There are a few rogues out there but in general milk processors are human However they are under pressure too and it is vital that as farmers we collaborate to bring about change There are many ways to work together ranging from discussion groups to democratic supply groups and from formal producer organisations to co-operatives Risk needs to be shared fairly across the industry and these groups have a big part to play in giving farmers a united voice and ensuring they are well represented Processors need a regular and secure supply of quality milk and farmers need processors to collect and pay for their product It is vital the supply chain functions effectively for this industry to continue

We have seen over the last year or so the potential within the

go up and down but in order to thrive compared to our European and worldwide competitors we have to make sure we are set up to maximise pricing opportunities and minimise volatility within our domestic market place Farm-ers and processors need to have

the time but low milk price really focuses the mindrdquo he said ldquoDry matter intake is essential for cow

one of the most common issues I see are neck rubs caused by incor-rectly positioned neck rails at the trough Why are we making it harder for a cow to achieve dry matter intakesrdquo Speaking at a recent cow signals day organised by Duchy College in collaboration with Mole Valley Farmers for Duchy students studying Level 2 3 or 4 agricul-tural apprenticeship courses Mr Hough said if more than 10 of

the herd had neck rubs then attention s h o u l d b e turned to the feed trough ldquoResearch carried out on a Norwegian

unit found i m p r o v i n g neck rail po-sition boosted growth rates by 200g a day which sug-gests dairy producers could see a notable improvement in perfor-mance by doing the samerdquo he said at the Duchy College farm in Stoke Climsland Mr Hough explained that the ultimate aim was to present

cows with a palatable consistent well balanced ration This would ensure the rumen worked at its optimum to get the most out of the diet To monitor intakes and how well the ration was working Mr Hough advised apprentices

-nals check list on their employersrsquo farms (see table) This should include looking at the incidence of neck rubs

you can do is push up feed more regularly so she doesnrsquot have to stretch for itmdash10 to 12 push ups a day would be ideal aiming for a minimum of sixrdquo he said

and instant indicator of dry matter intakes This should be assessed by standing on the left side of the cow and looking at the triangle of

Ideally the skin should go down

questions should be asked whymdashis it feed presentation or feed space for example ldquoBody condition is also a use-ful indicator of how well the ration is working If cows are too fat at

and suggests feeding was wrong in late lactationrdquo said Mr Hough These fat cows indicate over supply of costly feed in late lacta-tion They will also be more prone to lower intakes at calving and be more likely to develop metabolic problems In the current milk price en-vironment Mr Hough said those farms feeding one ration and struggling with over fat cows at

splitting groups or feeding to yield in the parlour Farmers should also aim to condition score two to three months before calving to provide enough time to address problems and pull back feeding or give more Duchy Collegersquos Roger Clarke said measuring and assessing cow signals around the feed trough was a crucial tool in maximising farm

Preparing for open dayThis month John Taylor herd manager at 2014 NMRRABDF Gold Cup winners Worthy Farm in Somerset updates us on the latest news from the farm and open day preparations

GOLD CUP COMMENT

Well at last the weather seems to have turned a bit spring like It certainly makes

you feel goodmdasha bit of sun on your back Un-fortunately that means wersquore even busier all our slurry has been applied using an umbilical system but it still made a bit of a mess as our ground is pretty heavy in places Itrsquos only in the last couple of days that we have started chain harrowing and then we

mounted magnet Itrsquos always surprising what gets picked up by the magnet even on the sec-

a good roll with a very heavy roller We now have two tractor mounted magnets and since

virtually done away with hardware disease in the cows We also put two further magnets in all young stock when these are vaccinated at 12 to 13 months of age for service The next job will be to put all the dung on the maize ground Unfortunately we have had to reduce our maize average because of the three crops rule Usually we grow around 90 acres but we have had to reduce it to 75 acres As a third crop we planted 15 acres of red clover which we will big bale and then feed one to two kg per day per cow next winter instead of hay This means we shall probably have to buy an extra 20 to 25 acres of maize as hopefully cow numbers will be getting towards 450 by spring 2016 plus 350 youngstock We thought we had acquired another set of buildings for our youngstock but it fell through at the last minute This means we are bursting at the seams with young stock which is not ideal as you know what happens when you overstock sheds We have had quite a bit of pneumonia and tried vaccinating a couple of groups but the calves are getting it at a very young age so vaccinating didnrsquot really help 2015 certainly hasnrsquot been such a good year for us as 2014 The plan was to sell some youngstock if we got overstocked but then fate stepped in Irsquove never been a superstitious per-son so when the vets wanted to do the TB test on Friday 13th I said no problem We have never had a problem with TB only a few bought in

of cows in the race on the second day and low and behold one cow had a lump like an eggcup All the rest were perfectly clearmdashnot a pimple anywhere This was a cow that had been at Worthy all her life and did not go out to graze at all last year We have three setts of badgers on the farm but these have never caused us a problem be-

fore We have been a closed herd for two years now so where does it come from The one thing that bugs me is when we had bought in cows with itmdashthey didnrsquot look rightmdashwhereas this cow was 100 healthy We will have to wait until the next test I suppose So just when wersquore busting at the seams we have now been placed under movement restrictions just what we need before our open day The cows seem to have settled down again after their slight blip last month and are currently 37 to 38 litres We have had a couple of mad days with nine calvings which produced only two Friesian heifers one of which was twin to a bull We canrsquot moan really as we have had a lot of heifers calve over the last eight months We have enough maize to feed at 20kg per day all the way through the summer so hopefully this will help keep our milk more level throughout the year as we get a good bonus for staying within 10 of our base Fertility has been really good this winter although we seem to be getting a few more cystic cows that show up as non-bulling not the usual nympho cystic cows The bulling heifers seem the opposite they are not bulling any where near as strongly as last winter even though they are getting 10kg maize and 20kg of concentrates It seems to me that the Angus bull

next week when we PD the next group of 40 We have had a meeting this month with NMR and RABDF planning for the Gold Cup Open Day on Wednesday May 6th I canrsquot believe the planning that goes into this and all I hope is that the sun shines on us They have decided to change the format of the day from two hours of speeches in a marquee to a basic

based around the farmWe have decided to put up the

Pyramid Stage a few weeks early so you can walk on the famous Pyra-mid Stage and there are going to be a lot more food stations

Unfortunately Dolly Parton was not available so I understand NMRrsquos jazz band will be making an appearance We also suggested the Cider Bus makes an appearance but they did not seem too keen on that worried about drink driving

Early season management sets scene for the year

Over the coming grazing season British Dairying working with Promar International will be putting the spotlight on milk from grass working with farmers across the country to try and achieve top 25 performance from grazing This month Promar consultant Andrew Hawkins considers if the start of the season has been kind to dairy farmers

FORAGE EXCELLENCE

Talking to our contributor farmers across the country the

consensus is that it has been a slow start to the grazing season While most of them were budgeting on being out grazing by mid-March by Easter the majority were still housed Those who were out were producing less from grazing than they had budgeted

turn out was Martin Harvey who farms at Kingsteinton in Devon The 140 cows have been out by day for three weeks but are unlikely to be out by night for another week This time last year they were al-

ready out day and night Growth rates have fallen back and opening covers are around 2600kg to 2800kg DMha com-pared to closer to 3000kg DM

said the cows are milking well with average yields up one litreday While milk from forage is on target at 15 litres milking from grazing is just three litresday which is half the target set at the start of the season As soon as

be cut back In Sussex Lyncoln and Rachel

cover on 30th March was 1892kg DMha but had increased to over 2300kg DMha by 6th April cover suggesting a growth rate increase However covers are still down on last year when in early April cov-ers were over 2900kg DMha Most of our contributors were hoping to produce around 75 to 100 litres per cow from g r a z i n g d u r i n g March so will have to catch up over the next few months if season-long targets are to be achieved At least they have plenty of time to do so but will need to manage grass care-fully from now on While growth rates have taken a while to build grass quality is excellent with dry matter averaging close to 20 and ME levels close to 125MJmdashbetter

-tive now will be to manage grass to maintain both quality and quantity and to challenge cows to produce

As the weather warms up so growth is already showing signs of increasing and it will be vital to make sure the grass doesnrsquot get ahead of the cows And this means measuring grass growth Grass growth must be meas-ured regularly if the balance between supply and demand is to

-duction from grazing increased Growth rates can change rapidly

-ers across the grazing block By taking the time to walk the grazing block and assess growth you are in control of the feed ahead of the cows and can react as the season unfolds

When you know what is ahead of the cows you can calculate how long to spend on each paddock to achieve the rate of rotation and en-sure closing covers were achieved

paddocks out of the rotation if there is too much ahead of the

cows This will help maintain grazing quality Maintaining quality is one of the keys to achieving high intakes and this means keeping grass at the three leaf stage and main-taining palatability Tight grazing and eliminating back grazing are both essential to reduce spoilage and wast-age Back fencing

may be well worthwhile With good quality grass and growth rates set to build to a peak in the next few weeks it is time to challenge cows to drive up grazing intakes With an ample supply of palatable forage and with an analysis as good as many concen-trates there is a real opportunity to drive production with all our contributors targeting around 12 litres per cow per day from grazing during April with some looking for more than this The key to this will be encouraging the cows to be enthusiastic grazers by reducing

season will have a huge impact on the productivity of the entire season Lose milk from forage early in the season and you wonrsquot get it back Similarly it is vital to maintain grazing quality now oth-erwise quality quantity and palat-ability will all be compromised reducing yield from grazing for the whole season

I want to decrease feed rateReducing feed inputs to reduce purchased feed costs runs a real risk of reducing income faster than feed costs are savedmdashif these cuts are made too drastically in early and mid lactation It is possible but the forage component of the diet then becomes more important and quality and intakes need to be monitored closely

into account the savings in costs labour and time if for example the mixer wagon is parked up for a couple of months

I want to maximise milk from forageIf the farm system is not already established as an intensive pasture based system maximising milk from conserved forage may be a better area of focus Optimising forage quality and quantity starts in early season from fertiliser lime and slurry applications through to cutting time of 1st cut silage It may mean introducing a second forage such as whole crop red clover maize silage or lucerne Achieving high dry matter intakes of forage is dependent on the quality of the forage and careful supplementation At high feed rates there may be opportunity to reduce feed levels and replace the nutrients with good quality foragemdashtarget the mid and late lactation cows

I want more milk or do not want milk yields to dropOn a low input pasture based system with spring calving cows there is usually a good milk yield response to feeding additional con-centrates One kg of additional concentrate could yield up to two litres of additional milk assuming grass quality and intake are not com-

on 22p per litre Admittedly the price paid for high volumes of spring milk may be less but these cows will continue to give more milk in the higher value late summerautumn A grass only based diet in spring can sup-port peak yields without excessive weight loss up to 35 litres assuming 80kg cake in the

required There are many herds producing around 8500kg milk per annum where there is a lot of discussion at the moment as to whether to cut some or all of the

-sibly lose some yield and composi-tion versus the savings on feed fuel repairs and time The lower the milk price the greater the incen-tive This is a very individual deci-sion Purchased feed costs are typically 30-35 of total costs on most dairy farms Changing to a low input system means all costs

This does not mean to say that there are no opportunities to tactically cut feed wastage and maintain yieldsmdashfor example by dropping the M+ of the base PMR and target feeding cake to

cows that will respond and challenge later lacta-tion cows perhaps a little harder than you may have done in the past especially if grass supply is good

In addition with high D value high protein grass coming into a diet there is an opportunity to reformulate the supplementary concentrate and cut costs especially degradable protein supply which is so often oversupplied when cows are at grass

In the UK we have prob-ably the widest variety of feeding systems and range in milk prices compared to any other country in the world Whether it is right

to feed more or less concentrates is a decision unique to each farm depending on the current system and performance level calving pattern days in milk forage quality and availability genetics and milk to feed price ratio

reduced dirt tare in varieties with newer genetics Particularly impressive is Robbos a variety that has particularly high dry matter yields The data shows that Robbos has a dry matter yield 7 higher than the control variety Kyros which amounts to an additional 12 tonnes of dry matter per hectare Robbos also has one of the lowest dirt tare scores among the 11 varieties in the trial and it has the largest leaf size which allows for easier harvesting with leaf lifting machinery ldquoThese features of Robbos bring two advantagesrdquo says Limagrain forage crop specialist Martin Titley ldquoThe large leaf can provide additional valuable feed and the low dirt stare reduces the risk of soil contamination and milk taint

time fodder beet growers as it is robust and produces consistent yields ldquoOverall the trial data shows that fodder beet is an ideal choice of crop for livestock producers and especially for dairy producers who are looking to reduce their costs of production and maximise milk yields from home grown foragesrdquo says Mr Titley ldquoYielding around 90 tonnes per hectare this energy rich feed is an ideal complement to maize silage in that it can balance out the high starch content of the silage and it can also help to reduce the reliance on bought in feedsrdquo Limagrainrsquos latest Forage Crops Trial Results 2015 booklet is available from Emily Short on 01472 370117

A new silage inoculant that re-duces aerobic spoilage while main-taining silage feed value has been launched by Genus ABS Powerstart Xtra combines the proven fermentation qualities of Powerstart Instant with a pre-servative which helps inhibit the moulds and yeast responsible for aerobic spoilage ldquoAerobic spoilage and feed

-ing many farmsrdquo comments Paul Nunn from Genus ABS ldquoIt is commonly an issue at feed out when clamps are opened but is

dry matter silages with high quality forages and where clamps are opened too soon after harvest before a stable fermentation has been completed It results in the feed heating up in both the clamp and trough leading to dry matter losses and reduced feed valuerdquo Mr Nunn explains that aerobic spoilage is caused by the actions of yeasts and moulds present on the feed Many approaches have been attempted to reduce these problems in the past and while they have been successful to vary-ing degrees the downside is that there has also been a reduction in feed quality Powerstart Xtra combines the unique proven bacterium L Plan-

-ganic citrate a preservative which when combined with the bacteria produces inhibitors during the fermentation of the grass which subsequently reduce the activity of moulds and yeast ldquoCitrate is found in higher concentrations in lucerne silage

which is known to be less prone to aerobic spoiling The inclusion of citrate in Powerstart Xtra gives farmers the proven quality fermen-tation they are used to combined with a significant reduction in aerobic spoilagerdquo

-cantly longer to heat up ldquoWhile

the control silage which was preserved with Powerstart Instant heated to 3degC above ambient tem-perature in under two days silage treated with Powerstart Xtra took over four days to reach the same temperature so reducing wast-age and maintaining feed value and palatabilityldquo adds Mr Nunn (Tel 0870 162 2000)

Attention to maize management detail drives high milk yields

With a 65 maize-based ration driving milk yields of over 10000kg per year from 750 cows sound management of the crop from seedbed to feeding is a critical part of business strategy for the Biddesden House Farm Partnership based at Druids Lodge Estate near Winterbourne Stoke in Wiltshire

MILK FROM MAIZE

The Druids herd of pedigree Holsteins relies on maize 365 days a year to fuel its

exceptional output says dairy manager James Coverdale ldquoMaize is absolutely at the core of our production philosophy and maximising energy output from every hectare is key ldquoGetting all steps of the processmdashfrom the varieties we use through to how we grow them

absolutely essentialrdquo Their approach certainly seems to be workingmdasha combination of good growing con-ditions and careful husbandry resulted in the total maize crop in 2014 being nearly 25 more than in previous years ldquoWe would usually aim to produce around 12 tonnes of dry matter per hectare but last year this was closer to 15tha Quality was good toordquo

Dairy herd management

The herd itself is made up of 600 pedigree black and whites and 150 red and white cows which are all run together as a single unit Feeding takes place twice a day in the form of a single TMR for all cows and the herd is milked three times a day All replacements are bred on farm with heif-ers taken to calving at around two to two and a quarter years of age Bull and beef calves are sold at 40 days of age Current annual milk yield is 10500kg at 37 butterfat and 32 protein As well as the dairy herd the estate has a 1000 hectares of combinable crops and a com-mercial shoot so the 200ha of maize has to work in with these enterprises With predominantly thin chalky top soils

to be made in the maize production year The estatersquos arable manager Mike Dograll works with James to work out the best cultiva-tion and fertiliser strategy for the maize

James explains ldquoWe try and keep our cul-tivations fairly simple so as not to damage the structure of the soil too much We use a lot of farm yard manure (FYM) and this is ploughed in before the maize is drilled But we donrsquot use any power harrows or carry out any subsoilingrdquo Despite having a fairly southern location land rises to 110m above sea level and with energy yield being the ultimate goal group 8 and 9 varieties tend be the ones that work best ldquoWersquove learned over the years that going for an earlier variety rather than an out and out high yielder works best for us It means we get good yields but importantly we get a crop that

we get the most starch and energy production possiblerdquo

year to give balance to the cropping with some staying in the plan for several years if they per-

form well But keeping an eye out for potential rising stars is important too explains estate manager John Elliot ldquoWersquore looking for consistencyrdquo he says ldquoIncreasingly wersquore moving towards early varieties that can deliver the sort of yields that historically would only be possible with later maturing varieties ldquoES Bodyguard from Hubbards Seeds is one variety that has really interested us recently and

dry matter per hectaremdasharound 10 more than the whole farm average in what was a very high output year anywayrdquo James Coverdale says the quality was high too with an ME of 119MJkg DM and a starch content of 301 ldquoThe crop was har-vested at around 35 DM so if the yield is corrected to 30 DM that 163tha DM yield would be approaching 19tha DM which is

Cash in on grassmdashor squander an opportunity

Hugh Kerr Keenan International nutrition director suggests that milk producers need to

buffer feeding on cow rumen function and milk production

SUPPLEMENTING GRASS

Exciting times abound and after 31 years the EU Quota regime

has disappeared and our mind-set has to shift from managing quota to managing milk contracts As with all changes opportunities are created but exploiting them is often a more complex process With all the changes taking place in the industry it is important that we do not neglect the business coremdashthe cowmdashand remember that todayrsquos actions will have long-

and future performance Cows are not like a water tap

turned on when circumstances change so it is vital we take a

lactation view rather than a snap decision that might jeopardise future business potential The financial pressures the milk production business is cur-

managed but the longer term implications of present decisions have to be considered With this in mind producers

-tions to consider1 How can I use my best and cheapest feedmdashgrass2 How can I reduce my milk production costs3 To supplementary feed or not to feedmdashthat is the question (with apologies to Shakespeare)

4 How to feed5 What to feed Each farm needs to go through this process for their own business and the solutions need to be well considered Getting some good supportive independent advice could be very important Easy to talk about but more taxing to achieve are the basics of bull Having enough Measuring and monitoring grass is vitalbull Having the best quality to match the quantitybull Getting enough grass into the cowmdashbut this is the stage where most producers stopbull Helping the cow to utilise the grass consumed This is the miss-

ing link in most grass discussions Measuring and monitoring grass production is important but transforming into saleable milk is the understated elephant in the room We need to move from ldquocounting grass measuresrdquo to ldquomaking grass countrdquo How many of us waste a whole lot of nutrients because we donrsquot give the cow enough time or help to turn good grass into good milk We often see cows at grass producing runny manuremdashbut this highlights wasted potential

Grass retention time in the rumen is vital along with nutrient balance and cow chewing time

SUPPLEMENTING GRASS

The physical form of the feed is probably more important at this time of year than any other As-suming the cow has grazed the grass which has been well meas-ured and managed for optimum quality it needs help on two main frontsbull The chemistry which is chang-ing throughout the growing sea-son needs constant balancing from week to weekbull The quantity needs managing and excesses and shortfalls man-aged as they arise Along with both of these vari-ables we need something to slow down feed passage and stimulate rumination We must also make sure that we are not substituting good grass with expensive feed or speeding the rate of passage through the cow with small parti-cle feeds that have no

rumen retention time or stimulating cud chewing A small amount of tactical for-

diet may unlock the real potential

A simple and typical grass enhancer diet would look like thisSilage 60Molasses 7 Energy blend (no fillers) 30Straw 3 This cheap mix can be fed at variable levels to allow for grass availability weather conditions and farm operation restrictions It does not need to be complex

this type of mix could be saving

around pound60 per tonne equivalent on normal dairy supplements The easy option is to let grass take its course and deal with the results later in the season But I am trying to get producers to get beyond this and contemplate man-aging the situation in an attempt to secure the longer term business

Where milk solids are im-portant and regular milk supply are elements of your current and future milk price I know there is a lot of scope for grass to help the dairy business ride the current challenges we are facing

The importance of these as indicators of energy status and rumen function are becoming more and more understood and as cow indicators they can be a very useful management tool

Maintaining milk fats and proteins can be a challenge when

dealing with grass but by using some of the experience we have gained over the past 30 years there are some key feeds that will drive milk solids to help enhance a poor milk price Enabling the rumen to func-tion and allowing the cow to oper-ate in a healthy normal way will be the best way to stimulate milk of the right quality to best match your milk contract Where we are presented with a good cheap feed in abundant sup-ply we should not squander the opportunity or restrict our poten-tial to optimise our milk contracts by short-term feeding decisions


Correct variety choice vitalGrowing quality maize has been a key element of the farming system at Hanmer Mill Farm near Whitchurch in Shropshire for over 20 years where paying close attention to variety choice is helping boost milk production from forage

MANAGING MAIZE

Jonathan Scott farms with his wife Emma and his parents Da-

vid and Pauline at the 180-hectare farm which is home to a 280 head

of Holstein x Fleckvieh cows Like all dairy farmers the Scotts are keeping a tight rein on costs but will not be compromising on for-age costs as high yields of quality forage are central to their system The herd averages 9000 litres at 43 fat and 365 protein Feed rate is 031kgl with 3200 litres of milk from forage They have been buying in the Fleckvieh cross cows for just under four years as they were looking for a cow that was durable easier to look after and would combine good yields and milk quality with better calf and cull cow prices

ldquoWe also needed a cow that would make full use of foragerdquo

Jonathan explains ldquoThe Fleckvieh crosses eat more forage and milk from forage and margins have increased as a resultrdquo The herd is run as two milking groups in the winter and all cows

with maize and grass silage and a blend In the winter they are TMR fed diets based on maize and grass silage and a blend with dairy cake in the parlour Jonathan is keen to try and feed maize all year round as he says it is the ideal complement for grass and keeps cows milking ldquoThe farm is well suited to maize being good light land but it is important to select which

-

rieties carefully We usually follow some of the maize with forage rye to give us an early bite and get the cows out sooner It also helps re-

This means we have to go for early maize varietiesrdquo Jonathan typically looks to grow a number of varieties each year selected to allow early matu-rity a good yield and high starch and ME levels He stresses the importance of producing a quality feed as opposed to just going for yield

Adding value to crop

A recent Kingshay report demon-

pointing out that careful variety selection can increase the value of the crop by pound400ha due to better feed quality The report stresses the importance of selecting varie-ties on a balance of criteria and of considering new varieties Jonathan Scott works with Sion Price of BCW Agriculture to deter-mine the best mix of most suitable varieties for his requirements ldquoNormally we will look to grow two tried and tested varieties we have used before and know will perform to ensure we get the production we requirerdquo Mr Price explains ldquoThen we will try one promising new variety ldquoLast year we decided to grow


time as it had looked very promising in trials and we thought it would work well on the

-cant proportion but in the end settled on eight hectares of it and 20ha each of two varieties he has grown successfully in the past However the Glory performed so well that in a change from his normal practice he will be growing it exclusively this year ldquoOnce the varieties are selected it is vital to focus on growing the best possible croprdquo The maize was all drilled between 18th and 20th April and Jonathan Scott believes good establishment is critical and will only contem-plate drilling when the land is ready Fields are sub-soiled to 40cm and ploughed to 22cm before

being power harrowed and drilled at 112000 seedshectare ldquoThe deeper ploughing really helps in our experience The roots develop better and the crop will really get awayrdquo says Jonathan ldquoOnce the crop starts growing it keeps growing as the roots push down Strong early growth can help reduce competition from weeds allowing us to save on herbicidesrdquo Organic manures are applied before plough-ing with nitrogen and sulphur applied to the seed bed and Di-ammonium phosphate down the spout ldquoMaize is cheap to grow if you grow it properlyrdquo Jonathan emphasises ldquoAt 50tha it

only got 37tha the economics would not be as good So we really focus on growing the best crop we can know-ing the varieties cho-sen should give us the combination of yield and quality we needrdquo The crops were harvested in early October with the Glory being taken two weeks earlier than the other varie-

were harvested with the Glory having the highest freshweight yield averaging 57tha This tonnage meant the high yields could be

fed a diet comprising 60 maize and 40 grass while the lower yielding group were fed 5050 maize and grass During the summer Jonathan will use maize to balance grazing intakes and expects to be feeding 15kg maize at the start of the season building to 20 to 25kg at the end of the summer

ldquoThe Glory analysed really well at 34 DM 115 ME and 34 starch We usually see a response in yield when maize has been in the clamp three months and starch degradability has increased but this year we also saw an extra litre per cow when we changed varieties to Glory in the diet ldquoBy paying close attention to variety selec-tion and then focussing on growing the best crop we can forage maize will continue to be a core element of our system and help us control production costs while still doing the best we can for the cowsrdquo concludes Jonathan

Maize is the primary forage for the Holstein Flechveih cross cows

Jonathan Scott aims to make full use of forage

Pembrokeshire milk producer does his sums

Chris James from Simpson Farm in Pembrokeshire says ldquoOur farm is in an exceptional grass growing area but its remote location makes us geographically distant from the milk markets The combination of good early grass production and free draining soil made spring calving a natural choice for us ldquoThe system is a good match for our component-based supply con-

the requirements of our buyermdashmost notably in the months of April May and June Our contract penalises and rewards us according to daily milk production so this position prompted us to examine in detail what steps we can take to negate the surplusrdquo Chris considered three optionsmdashmilking once a day in April May and June a l t e r i n g the feeding strategy or shifting the calving pat-tern to a later date ldquoAll of t h e s e o p -tions present chal lenges because i f we depress peak yield cows will fail to produce the milk we need in the later lactation We reached the conclu-

milk ldquoWhat we could do is increase the volume we produce outside April May and June Last year we supplemented more heavily in the autumn to produce milk in December milking later into the lactation However farmers should do their own sums on this to ensure that this option works for them It is also feasible to look at shifting calving dates back a month from February and March to March and April ldquoSo our choice was to reduce the volume of milk we produce in the three spring months or increase the volume we produce outside that

Options to manipulate milk supply

MANAGING SPRING FLUSH

Before implementing strategies aimed at reducing spring milk

production the full implications of such a decision must be under-stood and budgeted ldquoStrategies adopted in the short term can

-cations in terms of animal health production and the businesses performancerdquo according to Ste-phen Whelan

considered by milk producers is to reduce the frequency of milking to once a day (OAD) ldquoData from New Zealand suggests that the loss in milk production can be as high as 40 where OAD milking is employed during early lactation compared to twice a dayrdquo accord-

ing to Stephen Table 1 shows that where this strategy is employed in early lac-tation only it will have persistent

lactation yield of the animal Farmers also need to be aware of other potential issues with OAD milking Stephen explains ldquoFor example somatic cell count

will be higher through changes in mammary gland function or due

to lower milk yield concentrating the same amount of somatic cells into less volume Either way this

milk sold ldquoCows will consume less feed However this reduction will not be immediate and as fat and pro-tein in the milk will be higher the reduction in feed intake may not be as great as one might expect based on the reduction in yield Additionally Irish data suggests

Norwegian focus on health and fertility pays off

For the past 50 years Norwayrsquos cattle breeding programme has focussed on health and fertility traits This is now paying off as a group of UK vets visiting Norway found

DAIRY BREEDING IN NORWAY

Norwayrsquos farmer-owned breed-ing co-operative Geno was

established 80 years ago and now has 10000 members representing 98 of the countryrsquos milk produc-ers The co-op produces 125 elite Norwegian Red bulls a year Health and fertility have been included increasingly in the na-tional breeding goal since the early 1970s in a response to the drive for lower cost milk production and the

cows would have on achieving this ldquoWe had a weighting of 30 on health and fertility traits in 1980rdquo says Geno global direc-tor Tor Sletmoen ldquoNow itrsquos 42 with production currently

weighted at 28rdquo Despite this shift towards health and fertility milk produc-tion has steadily increased and results just released through the countryrsquos central database show that the national Norwegian Red herd has reached 8000kg at 42 fat and 34 protein in 2014 up from 6100kg in 1990 The breed that accounts for 97 of the countryrsquos cows with all but 3 of herds milk recorded ldquoIn the same 24 years cow health and fertility has improved markedly and producers have

says Mr Sletmoen Vet treatments for mastitis

fertility issues and metabolic dis-orders have fallen Current data shows that on average a cow is treated 05 times a year with an estimated cost to producers of between 09 and 11plitre In 1990

cow per year ldquoWe attribute around 50 of this dramatic improvement to the emphasis placed on health and fertility breeding goalsrdquo says Mr Sletmoen ldquoFor example we look

at sperm quality for each bull from 12 months old and any with poor quality leave the testing pro-grammerdquo A young sire with a non-return rate below 67 is slaughtered So to stay in the programme at this

with semen from young bulls must result in a pregnancy ldquoThis is much higher than the levels set in breeding programmes in many other key dairy countries

Norwegian Red bulls are now being used widely across Europe because of their health and fertility traits Pictured is a crossbred heifer in Italy

Cow Health Card monitors disease levels and treatmentsCows in Norway all have a yellow cardmdashknown as the Cow Health Card Vets are obliged to carry out all prescription treatments on farm and they must log and sign for these on the cowrsquos health card This information is then added to a central database Introduced in 1974 to build a more accurate picture of disease levels and control the Cattle Health Card is integrated into the Norwegian Cattle Health Service ldquoThe Health Card scheme is fundamental to our industryrdquo says Anne Guro Larsgard who is responsible for its operation and for data collation ldquoIt has helped shape the industry in the past two decades by playing a major part in setting breeding goals and weightings It has also provided valuable information for research projects advisory bodies and the Food Standards Authorityrdquo Held by Norwayrsquos principal dairy co-op TINE that buys and sells the majority of Norwayrsquos milk the central database is well-coordinated Major investment a few years ago took it to a new operational level and data continues to be highly regarded by the immediate industry and



and itrsquos tough But it does mean -

men from our elite stud is highly fertile and of good quality This has had a positive contribution to pregnancy rates here and we are seeing great fertility results in crossbred herds we are working with in other coun-triesrdquo Vaccination pro-grammes on dairy units are not the norm in Norway thanks to the eradication of diseases like BVD However herds are regularly screened for BVD and Johnersquos disease to ensure the countryrsquos high health status is maintained

Dry cow therapy is only used in exceptional cases Antibiotic use in dairy herds in Norway is the lowest in Europe ldquoA public outcry on antibiotic

1990s here in Norway focussed attention on their use in all food production

ldquoThe cattle indus-try responded very positively Wersquod seen the use of antibiot-ics in the livestock industry increase for 15 or more years but this reversed and since 1993 wersquove

seen their use on dairy units f a l l m a r k e d l y rdquo a d d s M r Sletmoen

Caution over the adoption of genomics in Norway

ldquoGenomics Not yetrdquo says Geno chief executive Sverre Bjoslashrnstad ldquoMy goal is to implement genomic selection in a safe way ldquoOur high weighting towards health and fertility traits and our success in breeding sires that combine these characteristics with good type and production could be compromised if we immediately follow other coun-tries in reducing progeny testing and putting all our eggs in the genomics basketldquo he explains ldquoWe have to remember that health and fertility traits have lower heritability than production and its these traits in particular that make the breed an increasingly attractive choice in cross breeding programmes around the world particularly in North America The Netherlands the UK and Italy plus many eastern European countriesrdquo While not standing in the way of progressmdashand in fact Genorsquos bull testing programme uses genomics for screening young calves prior to admitting them to its programmemdashhe believes that some countries could be pushing aside health and fertility traits as they place increasing emphasis on their genomic testing programmes ldquoGeno is not prepared to do this Genomic selection for health and fertility is not good enough yet We test 2200 young calves a year using genomics but we then follow a progeny test programmerdquo he says

proof prior to releasing a new proven siremdashby then the bull has a reliability of 82 to 85 for health and fertility and at least 96 for milk productionrdquo

Cereal market volatile but good options to balance grass protein

As cereal markets react to weather in key growing regions the focus for UK milk producers is shifting to feeds that maximise value from grazed grass suggests KWrsquos Chris Davidson

FEED MARKET UPDATE

With the South American soya-bean harvest progressing

well after a slow start the biggest recent changes have taken place within the cereals markets The focus for most UK dairy producers is also now on getting maximum value out of grazed grass during the coming months with energy feeds to balance the high levels of rumen degradable protein (RDP) in grass and boost

Weather concerns

The global wheat market in par--

fected by weather reports from key growing regions The dry

US continues although the po-tential upward pressure on prices has eased following the arrival of rains to resolve similar concerns in Russia and Western Europe However those rains may yet turn out to be too much of a good thing with excessive downpours having the potential to threaten crops in some areas The result is a wheat market some pound5-7tonne above the lows seen in mid-March with considerable volatility expected over the next four to six weeks as various weather reports

also remains around the potential

In contrast UK prices look likely to drop lower in order to shift old crop material and make

storage available for the impend-ing new crop Total UK wheat ex-ports for the year stand at just over one million tonnes (mt) but with a similar volume of imports and little ongoing export interest the Home-Grown Cereals Authority (HGCA) has increased UK wheat export surplus estimates for 2014-15 by more than 400000t to 39mt

Global trends

On a global basis there remains plenty of wheat available to meet current demand with the Inter-national Grains Council (IGC) recently increasing its projection of world wheat production for 2014-15 by 300000t to 7193mt Most of the increase comes from better than expected EU crops though the rise is against a back-drop of a 24mt cut in the global corn production to 9900mt (3mt drop in South Africa but a 600000t increase in the EU) and an overall easing back of world grain produc-tion estimates to 2000mt (10mt less than 2013-14) With potential for the market to move in either direction buy-ers should remain in close contact with their suppliers during the coming months For starch to help balance grass RDP good alterna-tives to cereals include maize meal processed bread and SweetStarch though some caution is needed since stocks of processed bread and SweetStarch are at some of the lowest levels seen for a few years

at present with Rouxminate and Molale for example supplying high levels of sugars to balance RDP in the rumen as well as help-

-prove buffer feed palatability Prices may not compare directly with the alternatives on the basis of pence per MJ ME but this ad-ditional value makes them worth serious consideration The same goes for moist feeds like Traffordgold and Wessex

Gold which compare favourably against dry feed equivalents but with the added advantage of palatability and good supplies of

improve the quality of the ration base or as a concentrate replacer many customers will be taking the opportunity to secure supplies during the traditional post-turnout dip in demand For other sources of digest-

continued to edge lower despite Sterling weakening In most ar-eas however the extra value that sugar beet feed brings to the ration is tipping the balance for buyers though much rests on personal preference However there will be a con-siderable shift in volumes for next winter Lower production of sugar beet in the UK is expected to com-bine with a potential reduction in imported sugar beet feed expected

-ability So there may be a point in the near future where the need to secure supplies takes priority over price

Protein developments

For proteins the big news is the strength of rapemeal prices on the back of limited availability par-ticularly in the north and a drop-

rapemeal is back to around 60 of the value of soyabean meal with

to May to July contracts There remains the potential for tight soyabean meal supplies into the UK through to May or June with Brazilian farmer sell-ing slowing down despite good harvest conditions and a bumper crop Exports are currently 25 ahead of last year with much of this heading for Europe But it will be important to monitor the situation closely and maintain one to two months for-ward cover to guard against any potential reduction in availability

The GLS has been designed to improve and revitalise compacted grassland that is suffering from the effects of continual rainfall livestock trampling and heavy machinery

It creates and sub-surface shattering effect that will improve drainage and root development and allow more air to get into the soil resulting in increased fungalbacterial activity as well as enabling worm populations to flourish This leads to a soil environment that is conducive to maximum grass growth and stronger plants that are better suited to withstand periods of prolonged rainfall or drought

Herd protection made simple

Bovela brings innovation to BVD protection a L2D (live double deleted) BVD vaccine providing 12 months protection against both BVDV types 1 and 2 from a single shot Bovela prevents the birth of persistently infected (PI) calves caused by transplacental infection Vaccination

with Bovela can be done from 3 months of age So now you can fi nally make BVD history Ask your vet for more information

A study from 2010 showed that a major hurdle to effective BVD vaccination is ease of use Only 52 of the farmers in the study gave the two doses required for primary vaccination at the correct interval Furthermore just 24 completed the primary vaccination course at the recommended time prior to service leaving these animals and their calves without proper protection1

Reference 1 Meadows (2010) Cattle Practice 18(3) 202-215Advice on the use of Bovela or other therapies should be sought from your veterinary surgeon Bovela lyophilisate and solvent for suspension for injection for cattle contains modifi ed live BVDV-1 non-cytopathic parent strain KE-9 1040ndash1060 TCID50 Modifi ed live BVDV-2 non-cytopathic parent strain NY-93 1040ndash1060 TCID50 UK POM-V IE POM Further information available from Boehringer Ingelheim Limited Vetmedica Bracknell Berkshire RG12 8YS UK Tel +44 (0)1344 746959 Technical enquiries +44 (0)1344 746957 Email vetmedicaukboehringer-ingelheimcom Date of preparation Feb 2015 AHD8395 Use Medicines Responsibly (wwwnoahcoukresponsible)
