After seeing the results of OmniGen in his show cows and their calves, Bons was convinced to start feeding his total herd. After a short period, he started to see the first result in terms of health. Diseases and veterinarian costs and visits drop spectacular.
"The frequency of our vet visits dropped to that extend that our vet asked me whether we switched to another vet practice."
Regarding to the desired reduction of antibiotics also Bons likes to see a decrease in use of medicines. After starting OmniGen the first signs of antibiotic reduction became clear. This trend became even more spectacular clear after a longer period of feeding OmniGen. Now after 2 years of feeding OmniGen his antibiotic use dropped significantly.
"Our antibiotic use dropped already after a short period of feeding OmniGen and after 2 years the decrease is even more spectacular. The decrease of antibiotic use in the last year was more than 65%"
Top management and treating the cows in the best way is characteristic for Bons Holsteins. Already for years his feed intake was highly above the average level. To keep the feed intake high, even during periods of heat stress Bons always strives for the best feed quality and cow comfort. Now using OmniGen he really sees the additional effect during periods of heatstress. Cows are much less suffering from heat stress and the feed intake is even higher than benchmark cows during hot periods.
"Feed intake was always high on my farm, but especially during heat stress my cows are eating significant more. OmniGen really contributes to the high goals I strive for!"
