The cows absorb more energy through the feed than they need for maintenance and performance. If the proportion of the structure decreases, there is a risk of acidotic loads.
The hormonal redirection of energy into body mass begins too early. In many cases, there is milk fat deficiency syndrome

Signal values: P-% > 3.8%

red

>= 20 % in the lactation section

yellow

>= 15 to < 20 % in the lactation section

Measures

Goal: Align energy consumption with demand!
Ensure a balanced supply of energy and protein

Check feed intake

Is the food ration (calculated) also eaten?
Can the animals select the high-energy components?

Check feed quality

Secure 400 g of crude fibre for every 100 kg of body mass.
- Pay attention to the proportion of structurally effective crude fiber.
- 8-10% of the particles should be larger than 4 cm.
Check on-demand feeding for function and calibration

Check feed ration

Adjust the energy content of the ration to milk yield
Securing the structure
Assignment to feeding groups

Controlling animal health

Body Condition Score (BCS), BCS grade should be on 200. Lactation day at 3.00
If necessary, arrange for additional examinations
- Urinary pH (<7.5)
- NSBA in urine (< 150 mmol/l)
