Increasing Cow-Calf Profits with TMR
Traditional methods of feeding hay in a round bale feeder can lead to wastage of up to 30% through selection and trampling. Conservative estimates of switching to a TMR put feed savings at 10-15%.
Welcome To Nutrition News
We’ve launched Because Nutrition Matters to deliver improved nutritional output for producers by connecting the three fundamentals of healthy nutritious mix: the best mixer, the correct ration, and professional nutritional advice.
Mini Mixer Series
Jaylor’s Mini Mixer series provides the opportunity to deliver the benefits of feeding TMR to specialty groups such as recently weaned calves, dry cows and fresh cows on your farm. You already do a great job feeding a TMR to your lactating cows, but your
Beef Cow-calf TMR Economics
A TMR mixer is a long life, depreciable asset, that simultaneously decreases feed cost and increases animal productivity (revenue), with the cost being amortizable over numerous years, its operational life being a function of how much it is used each year.
Jaylor Guidelines For Processing Round Bales
How Much Room Is Required To Process Round Bales? One of the greatest strengths and advantages of Jaylor TMR's is their industry leading ability to process round bales into total mixed rations. This task is not without its challenges, however, and may not always go
Dairy TMR Feed Management Tools Improve Profitability
Consistent feed composition and delivery are generally recognized as key components for optimal animal health and maximizing milk production and profitability. Equally important are accurate measurement and tracking of feed intake for determining feed efficiency of milk production and income over feed cost (IOFC) as
Moisture, Water Addition Improves Total Mixed Rations…
Addition of water to total mixed rations (TMRs) has become a generally accepted recommendation to reduce sorting behaviour by cattle during eating. As such, there are a number of recommendations out there concerning the “ideal” moisture content for total mixed rations (TMRs), some of which
New Research Supports Jaylor’s Optimal TMR Particle Size Distribution Recommendations
A recent experiment in the Journal of Dairy Science by Jud Heinrich’s group at Pennsylvania State University lends support to Jaylor’s recommendations for the optimal particle size distribution of total mixed rations (TMRs) for dairy cattle.
Why do Jaylor TMR’s take less power to operate?
Vertical TMR mixers primarily utilize gravity to mix ingredients by gathering them into the base of the auger, elevating them to the top of the mass in the tub, and then causing them to mix as they tumble outward and down between the auger and
Vertical TMR mixers can improve beef cow-calf performance
TMR feeding can improve calf growth and reproductive performance by: eliminating the negative effects of feed selection and between-animal competition that occur when forages are fed free choice, and allowing one to more easily and accurately meet the nutritional requirements of individual cows at each
