In a non-TMR feeding environment, concentrated feed supplements are critical in meeting the nutritional needs of high-yielding cows, especially those that graze. It is crucial that control of individual feed dispensers, either in the parlor during milking or the housing area, is in the hands of the herdsman.

Individual feeding, in which each cow receives her own supplementary menu, presents an excellent opportunity for optimizing feed consumption. This approach can lead to increased production and a reduction in overall feed costs.
