Cargill Manure Screener
Product description：
Cargill Manure Screener is a tool to help judge the digestion of dairy cows. As a nutritionist and ranch manager, you must understand the formula and herd situation of your ranch, make judgments based on the results observed by fecal screening, optimize the formula and improve production performance.
The Cargill Manure Screener is similar to the Pennsylvania screen, except that the former analyzes the intake of cattle, that is, the intake nutrition, and the latter analyzes the absorption effect of cattle on feed. The Cargill Manure Screener looks very simple, but if it is carefully analyzed, it can reflect the health of the cow's intestines and stomach according to its physical detection results. Under normal circumstances, the feces of healthy and High-yielding cows should look like squeezed cream. If the diet contains too much protein, the rumen degradation will make the feces thinner. Some of the faeces of cattle suffering from rumen acidosis look normal, while others look dry, hard, thin, sticky, shiny and contain bubbles.
Method of operation：
1. Sampling with a spoon;
2. Put it into a stainless steel basin;
3. Put the Cargill sieve into the bucket;
4. Pour the sample in the stainless steel basin into the sieve;
5. Install the spray gun water pipe;
6. Rinse the sample;
7. Until the sample is layered;
8. Observe the stratification and judge the pathology.
Analytical reference：
The target for the top tier is less than 10%, less than 20% is acceptable in early lactation as the rumen is still in adjustment or the new production diet itself is high in NDF. The target for the middle tier is less than 20% and the target for the bottom tier is greater than 50%. As a wide range of recommendations is given, it is recommended that it is sufficient to observe the volume of residues.
The reasons for not meeting the target for digestibility are often cross-cutting and not caused by one item. For example, some farmers do not do well with silage, which is poor quality roughage, but usually also means that there is not enough fermentable starch in the period diet. For the nutritionist, it is important to take into account the farm's recipe, the cow's performance and the observed manure sieves to determine this, find the cause and go about adjusting the recipe or management.
