What is New about TDM?
TDM brings you a new method of measuring feeds and managing your cows dietary needs for effectively.
What it does
TDM focuses on the rumen acid proportions (VFAs), especially for the impact on avoiding acidosis and achieving maximum feed conversion efficiency (FCE). In the chart, feeds are arranged from left to right according to their contribution towards propionic VFA (for energy) and especially acetic VFA to more accurately achieve the optimum acidity (pH). Total Dry Matter Intake (DMI) is only achieved when the acidity of the rumen fluid exactly meets the needs of the cellulytic bugs, and the optimum production of the main rumen acids are absorbed directly through the rumen walls. We have designed a system that enables you to combine feeds according to the cows’ needs for stable environment within the rumen.
How it does it
TDM is about balancing lignification and energy. Our software allows you to combine feeds more accurately, particularly on the basis of total lactation needs. No other software will allow you to predict as accurately feed efficiency and impact on margins.
