University of Wisconsin-Madison MILK2024

University of Wisconsin-Madison
  • University of Wisconsin-Madison's MILK2024 allows users to compare the nutritive value of silages using a single number, aiding decisions on hybrid selection, silo management and feed efficiency.
  • Unlike its predecessor MILK2006, MILK2024 calculates digestible energy directly from nutrients and in vivo digestion estimates, reflecting new NASEM recommendations.
  • The new model updates milk composition to 4.0% fat, 3.1% true protein and 4.8% lactose, better representing current dairy output.
  • MILK2024 aims for consistent and reliable comparisons across silages, with future improvements anticipated through ongoing research and development.
