Inventory and consumption tracking for silage production on a dairy farm

Jon-Jon Farm optimizes silage usage through detailed documentation and Excel-based tracking. With 266 ha in a cool continental climate, the farm manages 160 Holstein cows producing 12,500 kg of milk annually. By recording fodder types, quantities, and analyses, the farm ensures efficient forage management. Protocols like 'Koruplanen' and 'fodderbländingsprotokollet' track feed intake, silo placement, and ration adjustments. Lasse marks silage loads at one-meter intervals, enabling precise monitoring of feed consumption and yield per cow. This data-driven approach supports long-term planning, reduces waste, and maintains optimal feed availability, ensuring sustainable resource use and cost-effective herd management.
