When performance and savings are good, it&#8217;s better not to take any risks. I replace as little as possible, except in cases of infertility. Since I have been using Deltatys\u00ae, I am convinced of the improvement in my herd&#8217;s fertility,&#8221; explains Christophe.<\/p>\n<h2>Deltatys\u00ae to improve protein self-sufficiency<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;I take my cows out very early in the spring. On the first grazing trip, I supplement my cows with a dietary feed, which allows me to add magnesium and clay to dry them out. I use Deltatys\u00ae for the second grazing trip and the following grass shoots,&#8221; explains Christophe.<\/p>\n<p>It was on the advice of their CAM nutritionist and technician, Franck Bodin, that the breeders introduced Deltatys\u00ae: &#8220;I recommended Deltatys\u00ae on this livestock farm 5 years ago for one main reason: the type of pasture. In fact, Christope and Chantal Lecomte&#8217;s meadows are very rich in clover. Before, the breeders only used magnesia, but that didn&#8217;t allow them to make the most of the clover&#8217;s protein. On several occasions, they have even applied Deltatys\u00ae to autumn grass regrowth, because at that time, the clover is sometimes even more prevalent,&#8221; explains Franck.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Feed is a major factor in the technical and economic results of my farm,&#8221; says Christophe. &#8220;The forage we produce is what costs the least, so it&#8217;s up to us to make the most of it! For me, working pastures with clover means trying to improve my farm&#8217;s protein self-sufficiency. However, I know that clover can have a negative effect on the fertility of my herd. With Deltatys\u00ae, capturing excess soluble protein with natural tannins enables me to meet two of my needs: improving fertility and improving protein self-sufficiency,&#8221; says Christophe.<\/p>\n<h2>Deltatys\u00ae for the other risks of grass grazing<\/h2>\n<p>&#8220;Deltatys\u00ae is a complete product. The different sources of magnesium enable me to cover the herd&#8217;s needs in this area and therefore limit the risk of tetany. I&#8217;ve also noticed that there are fewer urea peaks in the milk, that the cows are in better condition and that there is less embryonic mortality. In this way, I can guarantee the quantity and quality of the milk and reduce the metabolic risks,&#8221; concludes Christophe.<\/p>\n<h3>The farm in figures:<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>2 man-work units<\/li>\n<li>44 dairy cows and 20 Montb\u00e9liard bullocks<\/li>\n<li>330,000 litres of milk<\/li>\n<li>Stable level: 8,071 l<\/li>\n<li>Fat content: 42.5 g\/l &#8211; protein content: 34.2 g\/l<\/li>\n<li>UAA: 53 ha<\/li>\n<li>Spring ration:<\/li>\n<li>free-range grass grazing<\/li>\n<li>maize silage<\/li>\n<li>production feed based on maize grain<\/li>\n<li>tanned nitrogen corrector<\/li>\n<li>minerals<\/li>\n<li>DELTATYS<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em>Excerpt from Journal GALA<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Dominque GENDRY and Franck BODIN &#8211; CAM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Lecomte farm, the main objective is to ensure the longevity of the livestock. &#8220;I prefer to consolidate what I have: I might as well make my herd as old as possible!
