ANC's milk cow ration features a very sophisticated Individual Cow Feeding Schedule designed to accurately meet the needs of each cow in the herd. This is based on stage of lactation, appetite, body condition, production, lactation, and body capacity. Even TMR herds use this feeding schedule for higher producing and early lactation cows.

We formulate rations using commodity protein, energy, and mineral ingredients, working closely with local mills and suppliers to put together the most profitable rations. Our emphasis is on herd health, as healthy cows are profitable cows!
