Veterinarian on a dairy farm: FreshFoss increased our milk yield Like any farm during the hot summer months, Elvi Farm in Bulgaria also has problems with heat stress in their herd. And they have employed several different techniques to fix this problem – installation of fans as well as a system of foggers for water cooling of the animals. These did make a difference, but they soon discovered that there was also a problem with the feeding. “On the hottest days, the temperature of the ration would rise signi- ficantly and result in a reduction of feed intake. A colleague of mine recommended FreshFoss from Vilofoss, so we decided to try that,” explains Tsanko Tsanev, who is a veterinarian on the farm. He is in charge of reproductive and health condition of 650 animals on the Elvi Farm, which is located in the village of Velkovtsi in Bulgaria. Tsanko Tsanev has been working at the farm for almost three years now, where Veselin Krastev is the owner. “Before using Freshfoss, the ration of dairy cows reached a high temperature and it was obvious that during the hot summer months, even in some places there was a lot of spoiled food. The food was obviously warming up and by the end of the day it was not fit for consumption by dairy cows,” says Tsanko Tsanev. AND FRESHFOSS QUICKLY STARTED TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN THE FEED AND FOR THE ANIMALS. “After using Freshfoss, the ration was remarkably improved and cooled. The animals consumed more dry matter and the ration temperature was measured to be signifi- cantly lower eight hours after the feed ration was determined,” explains Tsanko Tsanev. READ MORE:
