What\u2019s more, this is not at the expense of milk production, with the herd delivering an average yield of 6,000 litres from a pasture-based system.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>As well as great production, the fertility of the herd is also excellent, and a point of pride for Joe. \u201cThis year we had 125 cows serviced using AI in 3 weeks and after just one serve, 90 of them were in calf! I was really pleased about that,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After the herd calves in spring, the cows are put out to pasture for grazing over the summer, before being housed indoors over the winter months.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLast autumn during the transition from grazing to silage, we encountered some trouble,\u201d Joe said. \u201cThe cows\u2019 dung became the consistency of toothpaste, they were mopey and dull in the eye. Soon after that we started seeing compacted rumens in several of them and, regrettably, we eventually lost two cows.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Joe turned to local veterinarian Paddy McGinn for advice. Paddy suggested the addition of Actisaf live yeast to the diet at the time of housing to improve the herd\u2019s rumen function and to generally benefit the cows during what can be a stressful period. Within a few days of adding Actisaf to the diet, Paddy and Joe saw positive changes within the herd.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe started using it immediately because of the situation we were in, we couldn\u2019t afford to lose another cow. The dung consistency improved quickly and the cows really brightened up, it really was impressive. We\u2019ll definitely continue to use Actisaf in the autumn diets &#8211; it really saved us!\u201d[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row css_animation=&#8221;&#8221; row_type=&#8221;row&#8221;
