Meet the
RECAL
r e s e a r c h
t e a m
RECAL Microbials is a unique combination of probiotics, enzymes, and concentrated yeast culture. It was designed to improve overall health of the animals, aid in reducing stress, aid in improving digestion and also feed and mineral utilization.
We go by what the cows say, the cows never lie. First of all there is NO magic bullet out there on the market and second of all more milk is NOT the answer to more profitability. Most people think that the more the cow eats, the more she will milk. Well that is not necessarily true. If it is going in one end and out the other end without being digested and utilized what good is that??? Money being wasted!!! Most dairymen think more milk/ cow is the answer to profitability. Well if every cow in the USA goes up five pounds of milk next week what happens to the milk price??? It drops do to, too much surplus milk. So let’s see if we can produce the same amount of milk with less feed due to better digestion, improve rumen health, improve overall health, improve reproduction and lower cull rate. Isn’t that just as good as more milk??? This is called begin more efficient. This lowers your input cost and improves YOUR BOT TOM LINE!!!
Jamie Troxel, Dr. G.W. Snider & Cows We have been tracking dry matter intakes, cow numbers, milk production, % butter fat, % protein, % osol, feed costs, income, 3.50% FCM efficiency, and income over feed cost on every dairy farm we have started since 2011. To us this is better than any University Research do to every farm is different. What happens on a University Research Farm and what happens on your farm is two different things. Plus we have never seen a cow that can read, but cows can tell you a lot, and they never lie. So we do the research on your farm, with your cows, in front of your eyes. You as a dairyman have to see a difference.

Dairy breeders use many tools to make herds profitable
But only an aAa® approved analyzer can show you how to breed cows that have the form to function up to their full genetic and management potential – to eat, grow, breed, calve, milk and stay healthy – and do it all over a long, productive, profitable life.
Each and every mating you make is an opportunity to create a cow that will be a profit maker…or a profit taker.
