By Ryan Leiterman, D.V.M.

In the world of dairy farming, the concept of parity—referring to the number of times a cow has calved—can be a crucial tool to optimize herd productivity.

By Carley Ciolkosz, B.S.

One of the main goals on farms is for profitable livestock, and the foundation that profitable livestock rely on is feeding high quality forages. The need to feed high quality forages is critical to a healthy bottom line for any dairy or beef producer. Research has shown that applying a high-quality inoculant to forages at the time of ensiling can in turn provide a significant return on investment for the producer. There are many benefits to a well-designed inoculant program including speeding up fermentation which leads to reducing dry matter loss, reducing protein degradation and energy loss, stabilizing face quality, improving bunk shelf life, enhanced dry matter intake and improved forage digestibility. Crystal Creek® believes that our line of Inoc-U-Lock™ forage inoculants will help producers reach these goals on their farms.

By Darren Zimmerman, D.V.M.

More and more goat producers are raising animals with little to no land base. Hence they rely on purchased feedstuffs more than homegrown forages. Having high-quality pelleted feed allows these producers to raise their animals without having to grow and harvest forages which has some inherent efficiencies as well.

With this in mind, Crystal Creek® has developed 17% Start To Finish™ Goat Pellets.
