Milk Production

We are an expert partner when it comes to milk production. We focus on production data to guide our recommendations and product mixes. This includes production data (lactation curve etc.) as well as quality data (fat and protein percentage, somatic cells count etc.).
Herd management is important in milk production as well. Keeping in mind management items like body condition, replacement rate, culling rate, reproduction management and performance are key in big picture planning and achievement of production goals.

Key solutions for Dairy Cows

One way that we help producers achieve their goals is to offer varied solutions. An example of this is our Transi Up program. More than a product solution, our Transi Up program is a customized partnership able to improve your dairy performance. The Transi Up program is based on our knowledge of the dry and early lactation periods and of the ruminant market in general. The program promotes improved health status, increased milk production and prepares the cow for reproduction. It is a complete packaged solution intended for the entire peri-partum stage (from 60 days before calving until 100 days after) and a tailor-made approach to dairy cow management comprising products with a unique blend of additives.

The key to a broiler program is putting weight on birds efficiently. We are your partner to improve your profitability by improving your FCR, ADG, meat quality and breast yield.

ADM has also developed a nutritional specialty that improves the protein efficiency of rations for ruminants. Digest Up is a solution that increases the proportion of by-pass protein in the diets.
Digest Up is particularly applicable to:

• Rations with high levels of quickly degradable sources of protein (rations rich in alfalfa or fermentable grass, mainly pasture). In this case, it is essential to reduce the fermented part in the rumen and increase the by-pass protein fraction.
• Early lactation and high production levels. In these situations, the need for metabolizable protein is high and microbial protein production by the rumen is insufficient.

Digest Up works in 2 complementary and synergistic ways. Plant extracts are used that will bind reversibly to dietary proteins in the rumen, and specially selected metals are included which will reduce the flora that ferments soluble proteins.
Digest Up thus prevents ammonia excess in the rumen and increases the amount of total metabolizable protein absorbed in the intestine.
Field trials demonstrate that Digest Up allows equivalent performances to direct processes for protein protection (formaldehyde, Maillard reaction). Furthermore, it is more practical to use: no storage cell required in the factory; the level of incorporation variable according to the technical objectives and the level of protein solubility of the ration.

Information at your fingertips – right on your phone

Looking for guidance to make your feeding more precise and accurate? Want to make you’re your product mix is exactly right? We offer digital applications that can help optimize nutritional performance of ruminants by providing immediate guidance on the diet and nutritional program composition. Because our matrix equations and databases are frequently updated and can pull from a history built from years of analysis coming from our R&D, we can offer solid information and background to fuel well-informed decision-making. Thanks to this, we are in a position to provide advice adapted to the livestock’s needs and to the farmer’s objectives.
