We are proud to present MicroFeeder Pitstop. The feeder is seen on a short video with clips from three dairy herds, where it is used in groups of starter cows in the beginning of the lactation.

In all cases, the used mineral supplement is a "Pitstop Premium Grøn", which Vitfoss has made specifically for use with the Pitstop feeder. The supplements contains 50% buffer in the form of sodium bicarbonate, 10% fodder salt, 10% magnesia phosphate, and a variety of micro minerals and vitamins.

The cows eats in average 50-100 gram per cow per day, despite a rather bitter and salty taste of the supplements, and we take this as a sign that the cows can feel, that the supplements are doing them well.

Theoreticaly, cows are much undersupplied with minerals and vitamins in the beginning of the lactation, where they eat too little of their total mixed ration. Furthermore, they often balance on the edge of acidosis because their ration has to be as energy-concentrated as possible, wherefore the buffer plays an important role in stabilising rumen pH.

The video is found here where you also find further information about MicroFeeder Pitstop.

In general, microfeeder.com has been extended with information about MicroFeeder's products, and it is now possibe to make orders at the page.
