Advantages of of the Crystal Creek® Dairy Nutrition Model (CCDNM):

Improved Profitability: Producers often see improved profitability as a result of reduced feed costs and improved herd health.
Improved Herd Health: Less metabolic disease, improved reproduction, transitions, foot health and lower somatic cell counts.
Improved Transition Period: Puts strong emphasis on the dry cows and the transition period.
Better Body Condition: Cows consistently show better body condition and are ultimately more productive.
Lower Feed Costs: The CCDNM’s support of efficient digestive function, reduced use of additives (fats, buffers, ionophors, probiotics), lower grain rates and less supplemental protein all contribute to lower feed costs.
Higher Dry Matter Intake (DMI): Can deliver a higher energy ration with less grain due to improved forage DMI.
Improved Reproduction: Improved reproduction is typical when cows utilize their diet more efficiently and are under less metabolic stress.
Lower Somatic Cell Count: Understands the principle that immune function is directly tied to nutrition.
Improved Milk Production: The CCDNM’s goal is to increase profitability. Higher milk production can be a part of that formula.
Higher Components: Herds that utilize the forages in the ration more effectively will often show an increase in milk components.
