Peak Builder is a new feeding strategy created by the Wenger Feeds Dairy Business Unity. Peak milk yield is highly correlated to total milk yield for the lactation of dairy cows. For every one-pound increase in peak milk yield, a cow will give an additional 200-250 pounds of milk for the lactation, and each extra pound is more profitable than the previous pound. Transition and early lactation management and nutrition are key in getting cows to hit the peak milk levels. Our "Peak Builder Feeding Strategy” which allows the farmer to customize his/her feeding strategy on early lactation cows and select from a variety of products that best fit your fresh cow feeding management.
