Top 5 Feed Supervisor Ration Performance Reports

  1. HERD SUPERVISOR REPORT: View a snapshot of key performance data points to identify problem areas and pen performance.
    • This report is a great starting point for observing a dairy’s feed program. Any data points that do not fall within the set goals can be further analyzed on other reports.
    • Data points include:
      • Dry Matter Intake
      • Milk Produced per Cow
      • Feed Efficiency
      • Clean-Up Percentage
    • DIRECTIONS TO REPORT: Reports > Herd Reports > Herd Supervisor Report > Select desired time period and pens
  2. COMPONENT SUPERVISOR REPORT PLUS PROTEIN & FAT: Track components by comparing component production to feed data.
    • Component production is a key element for determining ration performance and herd health. If a herd produces for a Class that values components, use this report to relate a ration to component production.
    • Data points include:
      • Energy Corrected Milk
      • Fat Corrected Milk
      • Feed Efficiency based on Energy Corrected Milk
    • DIRECTIONS TO REPORT: Reports > Herd Reports > Component Supervisor Report > Select desired time period and pens
  3. FEEDING SUMMARY REPORT: Know the data inputs used to calculate the ration performance data.
    • Correct data input leads to more accurate results and accurate results can be used to make data driven decisions.
    • Data points include:
      • Number of Animals Fed
      • Target Weight for the pen
      • Actual Weight fed
      • Clean-Up Weight and Percentage
      • Dry Matter Intake
    • DIRECTIONS TO REPORT: Reports > Herd Reports > Feeding Summary Report > Select desired time period and pens
  4. HERD TRACKING: Calculate cost of ration and Income Over Feed Cost for any given time period.
    • Data points include:
      • Dry Matter Intake (lbs/cow and cost/lb)
      • Cost of Feed Consumed per Cow
      • Milk Produced
      • Income Over Feed Cost
    • DIRECTIONS TO REPORT: Reports > Herd Reports > Tracking Report > Select desired time period and pen number
  5. HERD DAILY DMI vs MILK PRODUCTION vs CLEANUP: Compare daily changes in intakes with milk production and cleanup.
    • DMI, Milk Production, and Clean-up can be closely correlated. Use this graph to see the effects they have on each other.
    • Data points include:
      • Dry Matter Intakes
      • Milk Production
      • Clean-up Percentage
    • DIRECTIONS TO REPORT: Reports > Graphs > Graph Daily Dry Matter Intake vs Milk Production vs Clean-up > Select desired time period and pen number
