SCEA DU TERTRE GOUTTE
Antoine & Clémence Boixière
“Before, we were in the high average for the veterinary costs. We were close to 15 € per 1,000 L, today we are about 5-6 € per 1,000 L.”
“We increased by 10% the milk yield, from 35-36 kg to 39 kg.”
“The less care for the animals, the beter, the less stress. Nowadays, it’s not binding to make milk.”

THE LEE FARM
Steve Annandale
“We’re getting plenty of older cows now coming into the herd so the herd is slowly building to more and more cow numbers not because we’re bringing more young stock in, its because we’re keeping more of the older cows and they’re getting on fifth and sixth lactations.”
“We’ve seen an increase of milk currently averaging around 11,000 litres per cow, per lactation.”

Helmke-Fulde Gbr
Dirk Helmke
“When we started feeding Extrulin, we had a milk yield of around 8,000 litres a year and over the years we have worked up to around 12,700 litres.”
“Feeding Extrulin has done a lot for us personally, because you just feel a lot more sastified when the cows are well and happy.”
“The animals’ health has been very good since we started feeding Extrulin.”
“The cows are very lively, we don’t have any acidosis in the barn, less than 1% ketosis and 3-4% massis.”

JOHAN LINDHOLM
“My experience was an increase of at least 2-3 liter milk per day while keeping milk fat and milk protein.”
“More milk, beter fetility and clearly beter claw quality induce beter economy.”
“EasyLin influences fertility, claw quality and inceases milk yield.”
