Plenty of grass doesn’t always mean cows are getting what they need.
Spring pasture can look great, but high moisture, variable dry matter and mineral gaps can leave cows short on energy, fibre and key nutrients.

Our latest Dairy News article looks at why spring grass alone may not meet demand, the warning signs to watch for, and how mineral support fits into a wider feeding plan.

It’s worth a read if you’re looking to tighten up spring nutrition and support cows through early lactation. You can find it here: https://agvance.co.nz/spring-pasture-nutrition-are-your-cows-getting-enough/

Metabolic issues can quickly knock cows around in spring. The best time to deal with them is before they show up. Focus on the basics - steady feed, enough intake, clean water, and close watching around calving.

Want more from peak milk? Start early.

If you want cows to hold production well through spring, it pays to get the basics right early.

That means:
🐄 Enough good-quality feed in front of them
🐄 Keeping intakes steady
🐄 Watching body condition
🐄 Making sure the rumen is working well
🐄 Not letting nutrition slip when the season gets busy

A strong start can make a big difference once peak comes around.

What’s the biggest challenge for you at peak milk — feed supply, condition, or consistency?

Spring pasture looks good, but is it really doing the job?

A lot can change in spring. Grass can grow quickly, but that doesn’t always mean it’s meeting stock needs the way you’d expect.
Wet weather, rapid growth, and patchy feed quality can all make it harder to keep animals on track.

That’s where nutrition is important. When pasture isn’t quite enough on its own, it can pay to look at what else the mob needs to stay growing, milking, or recovering well.

A few things to keep an eye on:
🐄 Pasture quality, not just quantity
🐄 Feed consistency
🐄 Animal condition and intakes
🐄 Whether young stock are actually getting enough

Spring is a busy time, but small feed gaps can add up quickly.

What’s the biggest pasture challenge on your farm right now?

Colostrum quality sets calves up early for long-term success.

A calf only gets one good chance to start right. Timing, quality, and consistency all play a huge part in the success of future production.

Spring calves don’t need more feed - they need the right feed.

That's why we want to get the basics right early: colostrum, consistent milk, clean water, and a good starter feed.

Match phosphorus support to your feed system, one size doesn’t fit all.

🐄 Check what pasture and supplements actually supply before choosing a delivery method.
🐄 In‑feed blends suit feedpad and bale/wrap systems.
🐄 Free‑choice or prill options work when cows need on‑demand access in the shed or paddock.
🐄 Water delivery can be useful but watch settling and dose consistency.
🐄 Optiprill Performance with P is one practical prill option to consider when a dust‑free, palatable mineral is needed.

Choose the method that gives consistent intake to the cows that need it most.
