Definition/Causes
The milk protein content is significantly influenced by the energy supply. The low protein content (<3,2 %) deutet auf einen Energiemangel im Futter hin, während der Fettgehalt normal ist (> 4.0 %), i.e. the supply of crude fibre is sufficient.
Lack of energy is present in this lacation third
- a consequence of metabolic and/or other diseases
- specifically fed to stop already severe degeneration
A distinction must be made between energetically undersupplied high-performance cows (milk volume > 20 kg)
Signal values: % > 4.0 and P% < 3.2 to 2.8 depending on the amount of milk.

>= 15 % in the lactation section
Measures
Objective: to significantly increase feed energy supply beyond the demand calculated from the milk volume.
Check feed intake
- Unlimited access to the feeding area
- Securing the water supply
- Check the amount of residual feed (at least 5%)
- is the feed ration (calculated) also eaten?
Check feed quality
- Energy content preferably above 6.5 NEL/kg DM in roughage
- Digestibility of the roughage ration over 70%.
- 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.
- Feed without impurities and deteriorations (dirty, moldy, frozen)
