I HAVE PROBLEMS WITH THE MILK BECOMMING SOUR IN MY MILKFEEDING SYSTEM - WHAT CAN I DO?
A good place to start is to take a closer look at the hygiene associated with the milking parlor. If you have a dairy system of the old type, where there is no built-in fully automatic washing program, you can consider buying a simple automatic washing set up in connection with the system. This can, in a simple and inexpensive way, help to ensure that the cleaning is as expected.

Why is the right grinding profile important for animal feed?
The grinding profile of feed directly affects digestion, nutrient absorption, and animal health. If particles are too coarse, animals may struggle to fully utilize the feed, leading to waste and lower efficiency. On the other hand, overly fine particles can increase the risk of gastric ulcers and digestive issues, especially in species like pigs.
A balanced grinding profile ensures that feed is processed efficiently, supporting better gut health, improved feed conversion, and overall performance. Regularly assessing and adjusting your grinding process can make a significant difference in both animal well-being and farm profitability.
How can I prevent gastric ulcers?
One key factor in preventing gastric ulcers is ensuring the right grinding profile for your feed. When particles are too coarse, digestion becomes inefficient, but when they’re too fine, they can increase the risk of ulcers.
With VA SizeMatters, you get the perfect grinding profile every time—optimized for better digestion, nutrient absorption, and overall gut health. A well-processed feed means a healthier stomach and improved performance.

WHAT DO I DO ABOUT TAIL BITES?
Tail bites is often a result of environment with changing temperatures and draft, but it can help to allocate extra salt as well as magnesium oxide
How do I know if my current feed grinding setup is optimal?
An optimal grinding setup ensures the right particle size for better digestion, feed efficiency, and animal health. Here are some signs that your current setup might need improvement:
✅ Inconsistent particle sizes – If your feed contains too many fines or large chunks, digestion can be inefficient.
✅ Increased feed waste – Poorly ground feed can lead to higher feed conversion ratios and unnecessary waste.
✅ Health issues in animals – Problems like gastric ulcers or poor growth performance may be linked to improper grinding.
✅ Higher energy consumption – An inefficient grinding process can increase operational costs.
With VA SizeMatters, you get a precise, adjustable grinding profile to match your animals’ needs—maximizing efficiency, health, and overall farm performance.

Why is every mineral mix customized?
No two farms are the same—factors like feed ingredients, water quality, pig breed, age, and production goals all influence the mineral requirements of your animals. A one-size-fits-all approach can lead to deficiencies or excesses, impacting growth, health, and feed efficiency.
Customizing a mineral mix ensures that pigs get the exact nutrients they need to thrive, improving bone strength, immunity, reproduction, and overall performance. By tailoring the mix to your specific conditions, you can maximize efficiency and reduce unnecessary costs.
