Lifetime Daily Yield is key to dairy farm profitability
The Lifetime Daily Yield is an important indicator for dairy farm profitability12. Lifetime Daily Yield of a dairy farm can be increased by reducing the age at first calving19, by increasing the production per lactation29 and by increasing the number of lactations per cow15,16,1,7,21.
Choose your battles carefully! The impact of each of these parameters is different on each farm, but the resources required to improve each of these production parameters can also vary greatly.
Use the profit calculator to calculate a baseline profit based on the current situation on your farm. With the calculator you can change the key milk production parameters and measure the financial impact of improvements that you believe are realistic for you.

Making sustainable dairy farming profitable
Science-based solutions for optimum dairy performance
HealthyLife LACTIBUTE
Adding Selko LactiBute to the ratio increases milk production while increasing fat and protein levels at the same time. This results in an increase of Energy Corrected Milk of 0.85-1 kg per head per day.
SELKO INTELLIBOND
IntelliBond’s increased bioavailability and the positive impact on fibre digestion and gut barrier function support well-being and optimizes animal productivity of dairy cows.
SELKO TOXO & TOXO-XL
Selko TOXO® is a mycotoxin mitigation product that contains bentonite, which has strong binding capacity for aflatoxins, ergot toxines and LPS, in combination with glucose biopolymers which maintain gut tight junctions to reduce the translocation of mycotoxins into blood stream. Selko TOXO-XL® combines this with purified β-glucans that improve the immune function of dairy cows.
SELKO TMR
Selko TMR® is a blend of organic acids that reduces the growth of yeasts, moulds and bacteria such as Enterobacteriaceae like Salmonella. As a result of the reduction in growth of micro-organisms, increases in temperature of the TMR are delayed by at least 6 hours in silages treated with Selko-TMR, resulting in a higher dry matter intake.
SELKO NUTRICOOL
Even the best heat stress control programme cannot always fully prevent problems with heat stress in dairy cows. Supplementation with Selko NutriCool can help to avoid a drop in dry matter intake and loss of milk production as a result of heat stress.
FARM-O-SAN GLUCOLAC
Farm-O-San Glucolac 40 Plus provides glucogenic energy and reduces the risk of subclinical or clinical ketosis in dairy cows.
FARM-O-SAN REVIVA
Farm-O-San Reviva is a highly palatable post calving drink for dairy cows, with large amounts of energy and calcium. It reduces the risk of hypocalcaemia and milk fever in dairy cows.
