Before Profeed: What the Farm Was Experiencing
Like many mid-size dairies in the U.S., the farm relied heavily on operator experience. Ration accuracy changed from shift to shift, load order wasn’t always followed, and daily batching could swing by 150–350 lbs, depending on who was working the mixer.
These small inconsistencies showed up in the bulk tank as fluctuating production, inconsistent milk-fat tests, and eating patterns that varied more than the nutritionist liked.
After Profeed: What Changed
Once Profeed was installed, feeding became predictable. Operators followed a clear loading workflow, mixing steps were standardized, and deviations dropped dramatically.
Within the first month, the farm reported:
✔ +1.5 L of milk per cow per day
(0.396 gal ≈ 3.4 lbs extra milk)
✔ More stable milk fat (+0.5%)
A direct result of tighter ration consistency and reduced sorting.
✔ Better bunk behavior
Cows returned to feed more uniformly thanks to repeatable TMR texture and timing.
Economic Impact
- Additional milk/day:
780 cows × 3.4 lbs = 2,652 lbs/day - At the U.S. farm milk price ($20.90/cwt):
2,652 lbs = 26.52 cwt
26.52 × $20.90 ≈ $554/day - Monthly impact:
≈ $16,620/month - Milk-fat premium from +0.5% fat (typical U.S. premium):
$500–1,000 per month
Payback Period
Assuming a typical system investment of ~$30,000 for a 780-cow U.S. operation:
$30,000/$16,620 ≈ 1.8 months
