For my cows, only the best!
In this episode of “The Breeder Tells,” we meet Carmelo Guastella, owner of the eponymous family farm in Ragusa, who shares his experience with Tecnozoo and how it has provided the right boost for both productivity and health of his herd.
“Rather than increasing the actual milking yield, Carmelo Guastella from Ragusa chose to focus on raising the average production by investing in high-quality genetics and relying on the expertise of the Tecnozoo team for nutrition,” the article dedicated to the company begins in the May issue of “Top Breeders.”
“Genetics are fine, but to make a Ferrari run fast, you need the right fuel. And this is where Tecnozoo from Piombino Dese (Pd) comes into play, with its team of agents and nutritionists. ‘It’s been about 7-8 years,’ Carmelo recounts, ‘since I asked Valentina Gissara from Tecnozoo to connect me with one of their technicians, and she introduced me to Cristiano Ossensi. I told him, Doctor, if you can get my cows to calve with normal levels of udder edema, I’ll hire you. The bet was won, needless to say: Ossensi adjusted the energy and mineral balance of the ration for cows in transition, and the results followed. ‘Since he started formulating the rations,’ Carmelo observes, ‘my cows have been running without the handbrake. Average production has steadily increased, and hoof diseases are now a thing of the past.’
