Syomaky Farm

Before Profeed: The Situation

This farm struggled with the same issue many smaller American dairies face:

• Feeding was done well, but not consistently.
• Load order wasn’t always followed, mix times varied, and batching depended heavily on who was on shift. Even moderate deviations had an outsized impact because each cow represents a larger percentage of total production.
• So production fluctuated, rumen fill wasn’t uniform across the herd, and milk components drifted up and down.

After Profeed: What Improved

Within the first month, the farm saw the clearest signal possible:
Production jumped.

✔ +7.95 lbs of milk per cow per day

✔ More uniform eating behavior

Less sorting, steadier rumen fill.

✔ Stable feeding times

The system removed guesswork and aligned all batches to the same routine.

Economic Impact 

• Additional milk/day:
  194 cows × 7.95 lbs = 1,543 lbs/day
• At $20.90/cwt:
  1,543 lbs = 15.43 cwt
  15.43 × $20.90 ≈ $323/day
• Monthly impact:
  ≈ $9,690/month

Payback Period

Assuming Profeed MIX costs roughly $18,000 for a small U.S. farm:

$18,000 / $9,690 ≈ 1.8 months

➡ ROI in 6–8 weeks.
