4 The high genetic potential should accompany with nutrition for cows producing more milk. In this case, the nutrition partitions around 65-70% of the share for increasing milk production. While there are many factors affecting superior milk yield performance, a regular dry period among those is more influential. This period starts 3 weeks prior to calving and continues until 3 weeks after calving. Thespecial feeding strategies between days of this period closely effect rest of the lactation period. Therefore, what should we pay more attention in this period (dry period) for feeding cows? Dairy Cattle Production 1. As shown in the graph, the most critical problem after parturition is the feed intake. It comes behind the milk yield and reaches the normal level after peak production point. Therefore, nutritionally condensed rations are need. For instance, energy rich corn silage and protein rich legumes are preferred. 2. Energy rich and easily digestible grains and their by-products are included in the rations. 3. The forage to concentrate ratios in TMR is 50%:50% level PRODUCED BY TS EN-ISO QUALITY SYSTEM 1. The most important point in this period is to check the changes in body condition score. The body condition score must be between 3.0 to 3.5 for preventing possible metabolic disorders (hypocalcemia, ketosis, udder edema), improving feed intake, milk yield and composition. Keep in mind that cow having more than these scores may possibly cause metabolic diseases. 2. The forage intake in this period should be 1% of cow s body weight. Due to the risk of hypocalcemia, it is better to avoid feeding legumes (alfalfa, vetch) in this period. Instead of feeding these forage sources, it is better to prefer dry hays. 3. Switchingfrom dry cow feed to early lactation feed has to be gradually. As the parturition approaches (last 1 week), nutrient density of the ration needs to be increased. 4. Due to the risks of negative energy and protein balance during this transition period, high quality protein sources and energy rich feeds are needed. 5. In addition, some feed additives are beneficial for avoiding postpartum metabolic disorders. These feed additives are listed as vitamin E, B3 (niacin), yeast extract and anionic salts (magnesium sulphate, ammonium chloride) Early lactation feeding: The following nutritional points must be considered for expected maximum lactation performance within first 3-4 weeks of parturition. Calving Milk production Body weight Feed intake 4. Be cautious for potential body weight losses, it should not be more than 1 kg daily. In other words, loss in body condition score should be at the maximum. 5. In this period, ration s energy content should be increased; even 0.5 kg of dietary fat/cow/day should be supplemented. 6. In case of rumen acidosis in this period due to heavy grain supplementation, dietary sodium bicarbonate can also be included in the rations. Mid-lactation feeding ( days):a higher dry matter intake parallel with higher milk production reaches the peak level in days of lactation. Then it slows down starting after 3 months of lactation and the cow starts to gain weight. Therefore, the following feeding guidelines need to be considered for lactation persistency. 1. Ration protein content should be 17-18%. 2. There need to be minimum 50% forage in the ration and at least 50% of forage particle size has to be 3-4 cm. 3. Dietary starch content should be 30% (grain rich rather than oil seed rich feeds) Late lactation feeding ( days):since the milk production is reduced gradually in this period, the following feeding program should be followed. 1. Ration protein content should be 16%. 2. Overfeeding is restricted and body condition score needs to be under control ( ). Dry Period 3. Instead of feeding high quality protein sources (soybean meal), use easily rumen digestible protein sources (low quality oil seed meals) 4. Forage portion should be 60%. Corn silage should be reduced (1/3 corn silage + 2/3 dry hay or totally dry hay) 5. Dietary starch content should be 20%

9 Beef Cattle Productıon The basic principle of beef cattle production is to ensure the most profitable feed efficiency from genetically strong and the fastest body weight-gaining animals. The highest economic growth performance is also ensured by feeding animals with correct amount and at the appropriate time. The ration balancing and feeding animals have important roles in beef cattle production. Based on the basic principle of feedlot performance, daily body weight gain and feed efficiency are the critical success in beef cattle production FACTORS EFFECTING FEEDLOT PERFORMANCE Animal s genetic: Whilst the daily body weight gain in local breeds is around 1 kg, it could rise to kg daily in superior genetic culture breeds. However, it is also possible to increase daily body weight gain over 1 kg in local breeds with good management practices. Gender: Male breeds have greater feedlot performance than female breeds Health status: Beef calves must be treated and vaccinated against parasitic diseases before bringing to feedlot. FEEDING BEEF CATTLE Beef cattle rations are prepared for maintenance and growth requirements. A beef cattle intakes 2.5% of his body as dry matter, such as 400 kg of beef cattle should consume 10 kg of dry matter intake. There must be a target for balancing beef cattle rations based on body weight, daily body weight gain and finishing body weight. The energy requirement of beef cattle is based on age and body weight. The body weight change varies depending on the ration s energy level. Young animals have higher amount of water and protein but lower amount of fat in their body. This change is against fat deposition as the finishing period approaches. During this period, the need for protein is decreasing and energy is increasing in diets. Chopped whole plant fresh corn and grasslegumes mixture as a forage can be fed to animals. These fresh forages can also be offered with other available forages, such as straw. The amount of straw offered varies with energy and type of other feeds in the ration. However, a well-known practice is to place forage in front of the animals all the time. Dry or wet beet pulp offered to beef cattle is rich in energy. However, it is beneficial to offer beet pulp with straw due to its nature of low effective fiber. It is better to feed good quality silages for young beef cattle. Concentrate feeds (cracked grains+ oil-seed meals or formulized mixtures) should be offered at 50-60% in beginning, 60-70% in growing and 80% in finishing periods of feedlotting. In other words, 300 kg of beef cattle should eat 4-5 kg concentrate feed in the beginning of feedlot period. This amount for 400 and 500 kg body weights should be 6-7 kg in growing and 10 kg for finishing periods, respectively. Age: This the most important factor in beef cattle production. The selected animals for feedlotting should still be in growing stage. The beef cattle production should be performed up to 1.5 years of age in superior and years of age in local breeds. The feedlotting period should not exceed beyond this. Body condition: It is an indication of animal s growth and feeding status. Calves having good skeletal system but remained weak due to poor calf care and nutrition during their early life show good feedlot performance. 7

25 Corn-Barley Flake Feed The principle of flaking process is based on cooking and steaming of grains, such as barley, wheat and corn under high pressure and then dried by passing through the crushing machines. The process is performed for improving high rates of starch gelatinization and digestibility. With this process, starch molecule expands. This changes the structure of the starch digestibility of over 95%. Flaked feeds are more delicious and smelling pleasant compared to unprocessed cereals, which increase feed intake and therefore milk production. PROPERTIES OF FLAKED FEED 1. Increases milk production 2. Increases starch digestibility 3. Increases milk protein 4. Increases milk fat 5. Increases the efficiency of feed energy 6. Improves body weight gain 7. Increases feed efficiency 8. Prevents feed selection in the bunk 9. Provides rapid growth in calves 10. Prevents digestive disorders (diarrhea, off feed) 11. Prevents feed mixing problems 12. Improves feed taste 13. Improves forage feeding efficiency 14. Reduces acidosis risk 15. Increases feed intake due to its flavor and smell 16. Inhibits hazardous microorganisms through production technology 23

26 Raw Material Trade Ipek Feed Mill and Food Trade Co. also imports high quality raw materials from neighboring countries by road and overseas by ship either for its production needs or for other feed industry partners. In this context, the factory has 30,000-ton raw material storage capacity. In addition, they provide necessary port warehouses for storing imported raw materials and supply them to other feed factories. Ipek Feed Mill and Food Trade Co. s main purpose for importing raw materials is to come into play when there is an absence or high price of standard raw materials for feed production. Ipek Feed is heading for the principle of high quality feed qhich is made of high quality raw material.
