Dr. Ray Nebel of Select Sires shares important nutrition elements all producers should be aware of and continue to monitor in order to ensure a reproductively healthy herd.

1. Dry Matter Intake
2. Bunk Management
3. Energy Density
4. Protein Type & Level
5. Minerals
6. Toxins

Utilize the expertise and experience of your nutritionist. Make sure to make daily “walk throughs” a part of your routine - too much or too little feed, clean water, comfort of cows. Also, monitor the Milk Urea Nitrogren (MUN) of the herd as it is an indicator of nitrogen not utlized by the cow.
