How NEXT ENHANCE® CGO Feed Solution Can Help

NEXT ENHANCE® CGO Feed Solution is designed to maximize dry matter intake and improve how cows convert forage into energy. This means you can maintain or boost milk production even with less feed. Just one 33 lbs bag of NEXT ENHANCE® CGO Feed Solution can replace over 81,729 lbs of TMR, helping you achieve more with less.

Scientifically Proven Benefits

Studies show that NEXT ENHANCE® CGO Feed Solution can reduce cows’ feed intake by up to 0.95 kg (2.08 lbs) per day without compromising milk production or body condition. This reduction in DMI helps balance feed costs and preserves inventory, enhancing farm profitability.

“A decrease of 2 pounds of dry matter intake per cow per day is significant. It means a 33-pound bag of NEXT ENHANCE® CGO can save 81,729 pounds of total mixed ration,” says Sarah Stocks, NOVUS technical services manager. “A return like that allows the product to pay for itself while the customer sees additional income and can feel more secure about feed costs and feed inventory.”

Key Benefits:

  • Enhance Feed Utilization: Helps dairy farmers by increasing propionate production in the cow, which in turn helps maintain milk yield while reducing dry matter intake. This efficiency is crucial, especially during periods when forage isn’t available, or quality may not be optimal.
  • Economic Advantage: The ability to reduce DMI without compromising milk yield translates directly into lower feed costs and greater income over feed cost. Dairy farmers can experience a substantial return on investment with potential savings fluctuating between 30 to 50 cents per cow per day, depending on milk prices.
  • Support Efficient Ration Planning: Nutritionists can leverage NEXT ENHANCE® CGO Feed Solution as a tool to fine-tune rations that meet the herd’s energy requirements more precisely, helping to ensure cows receive optimal nutrition regardless of external feed challenges.
  • Science-Backed Results: The efficacy of NEXT ENHANCE® CGO Feed Solution is supported by robust research data, including findings from studies* that demonstrate the impact on milk yield and feed intake across different lactation stages and environmental conditions.
