PROTEIN for Lactating Cows Feed less protein to your cows and increase your milk income potential by feeding your cows a MetaPro® Nutrition diet. How does MetaPro® work to increase milk income? Maximize Protein Utilization…MetaPro® Nutrition rations maximize protein from rumen microbes and provide quality metabolizable protein. High Quality Protein…The high quality protein in MetaPro® Nutrition escapes being digested in the rumen, but is very digestible in the small intestine where it can impact milk production. Feed Less Protein…You can feed less protein because the harder working protein in MetaPro® more efficiently provides your lactating cow with the right amount of Metabolizable Protein. Reduce Feed Costs or Increase Production… When protein is digested in the right place at the right time, there’s no need to overfeed expensive protein, you can reduce feed costs or increase milk output. Reduce Urinary Nitrogen Excretions by up to 29%...Because the protein in MetaPro® is digested in the small intestine, less ammonia is excreted in the urine, leading to a reduction in urinary nitrogen while maintaining the same milk yield. ®
The MetaPro Nutrition feeding program is simple… MetaPro® Nutrition can be handled through your current storage, handling and mixing equipment. ®
The MetaPro Nutrition system balances for metabolizable lysine…diets that are high in by-product feeds such as distiller grains often do not have adequate metabolizable lysine.

What producers are saying about MetaPro® Nutrition Leland Van De Walle of Van De Walle Farms LLC in Crivitz, WI, fed his cows the MetaPro Nutrition system and after 60 days reported the following observations: ®
“Since starting MetaPro our cows increased in daily milk per cow from 83 lbs. to 89 lbs. generating an increase of 6 lbs. per cow. We have automatic milk meters and collect data, review weekly, and take a 3 day average of milk shipped and cows milked to determine the milk/cow/day. Our milk weights are verifiable. We are an aggressive dairy constantly seeking ways to improve production profitably, and MetaPro got us more milk, and lowered our feed cost too. We simply do not have to feed as much protein Milk components held fairly steady, so we did not give up fat or protein test %. So we are not only shipping more milk, but more pounds of fat and protein. Some other observations are that the manure is more consistent, and the MUN is lower. Our vet says that these changes are better for cow health and reproduction. G We recommend MetaPro® to other dairymen.”
