Nutritional Analysis & Planning from 1 on 1 Nutrition gives you a clear picture of what your cows are actually receiving-and what they are missing. Instead of guessing, we use targeted testing and ration modeling to align energy, protein, fiber, and micronutrients with the needs of high-producing dairy herds.
We begin with Silage Nutrient Profiling, analyzing your key forages so we know exactly what is coming out of the bunker or bag. That data drives the rest of the program, preventing you from over- or under-feeding based on outdated book values.
Dietary Energy Balancing then matches real forage energy to production goals. We look at milk yield, body condition, and stage of lactation to fine-tune how much energy is supplied from forage, grain, and any high-energy supplements. The aim is simple: meet your cows' demands without wasted corn or pushed cows slipping into negative energy balance.
Protein Requirement Analysis focuses on both total protein and amino acid supply. By comparing lab values to cow performance, we adjust rumen-degradable and bypass protein to support milk yield, components, and reproduction, often trimming excess protein that only drives up feed cost and nitrogen excretion.
Mineral and Vitamin Planning addresses the smaller nutrients that cause big problems when they are off. We design mineral and vitamin programs that support immunity, hoof health, reproduction, and udder health across all groups, using your existing feeds as the base.
Finally, we pull it all together with Nutritional Gap Identification. Here we compare what the ration should supply with what the cow is telling us through milk, manure, and body condition, then provide specific, stepwise changes. You gain a clear, written plan to close gaps, protect health, and put more consistent, high-quality milk in the tank season after season.
