Key benefits of feeding a ration consisting of pre-processed straw:

• The diet is more open and palatable
• Less or no sorting occurs, resulting in a complete diet being fed
• No over-processing, reduced mixing time
• The added straw helps to stabilise the pH levels in the stomach
• Better energy balance is achieved after calving, meaning improved health during the transition period 
• Adding straw to the diet can aid rumination and avoid acidosis
• Helps to maintain butterfats during spring/summer grazing
• If you feed silage, adding straw helps to reduce the potassium levels, which can be beneficial during calving
• The additional fibre helps to retain the food in the stomach for longer
