Return Over Feed
ROF
High production doesn’t always translate into profitability. The reverse is also true, a low feed cost does not ensure the best return either. Herds that produce milk components the most efficiently while also maximizing nutrients in on-farm forage usually prevail as the most profitable. Since 2004, Purina has been helping dairies find the “sweet spot” and produce components as efficiently as possible.
