We recently spoke to dairy farmer Robert Shannon to learn more about his experiences with Milk Solids Booster.
Robert farms the Ballydehob Herd with his family in Ballinascarthy in Co. Cork. He started to use Devenish Milk Solids Booster in his concentrates in April 2024 and hasn't looked back since.
"We have been breeding to increase milk solids, and we have made significant progress.
Since commencing feeding Devenish Milk Solids Booster, we have increased our butterfat by 0.37% and our milk protein by 0.06%.
"Obviously, every year is different, and every farmer should do their own evaluation.
In my opinion, increasing milk solids economically is key to increasing profitability.
Key farm areas to improve this include breeding, high intakes of quality grass and winter forage balanced with concentrates fed at the correct economic level.
Devenish Milk Solids Booster is helping me along this journey.”
What is Milk Solids Booster?
Devenish Milk Solids Booster incorporates a 7th generation product, which focuses on increasing milk solid output (milk butterfat and milk protein percentages and yields). The product combines four specialist ingredients with specific known modes of action and has delivered significant improvements in milk solids output. It has also been shown to improve cow health and fertility, resulting in improved income for dairy farmers.
