Tips on feeding dairy cattle
for MCP pricing system
BY DENNIS MARTIN
FARM MANAGEMENT
SPECIALIST FOR
HURON COUNTY
Many dairy producers are asking
questions about adjusting their
feeding program to compliment the
Multiple Component Pricing
System.
In order to maximize returns
under Multiple Component Pricing
(MCP), the goals of your feeding
program must include maximizing
production of both fat and protein.
From a nutritional standpoint, any
factors that increase milk yield will
also increase yield of both fat and
protein.
The following are some nutri
tional guidelines for optimizing
yield of milk components:
Meet Energy and Protein
Requirement. Yield of milk
components are directly related to
both the energy and protein content
of the diet. Underfeeding these
important nutrients will result in
low yields of milk fat and protein.
Overfeeding energy, (too much
grain) maximizes protein yield but
may decrease fat yield, predispose
cows to health problems (acidosis,
displacements) and be economi
cally undesirable.
Balance for Type of Protein.
The type of protein fed will also
play a role in yield of components.
The lactating dairy cow has a
requirement for both degradable
and undegradable protein. Degrad
able intake protein (DIP) is protein
digested by the rumen bacteria and
should make up 60-65 percent of
the total protein in the ration.
Excess degradable protein is waste
ful and expensive, may impair
fertility and requires additional
