Energy Feeds
Kibbled Maize
Kibbled maize grain is one of the best sources of energy and carbohydrate for the lactating cow and also ideal for weight gain.
Feeding Recommendations
Feeding kibbled maize requires a transition for the cow because of the high starch content - so gradually increase intake over time. Feed maize as required between 2kg and 4kg per cow per day to maximise output.
Note: Consult your milk supply company for FEI guidelines

Cattle Feed Storage on Farm
As with any grain or meal feed products need to be kept dry as moisture combined with heat can cause fungi to grow. Common on farm storage methods are: in a shed or unused fertiliser bin; in a covered pit; on a concrete pad; or in a cutting, covered with plastic sheet and tyres. Most feed should be used reasonably expediently (within 40 - 50 days). The longer you plan to store feed products the better your storage facilities need to be.
