100% Yield Increase of Milk & Dairy on a Pasture in Ecuador
In Riobamba, Ecuador, Guido Carrillo decided to acquire the Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster™ technology for one of his pasture fields. This field was grazing grounds for one of his cattle herds of 24 cows each. Guido wanted to see if improving the quality of the grass would increase the production of his cows.
- Date
- December 2020 (winter)
- Place
- Riobamba, Ecuador
- Technology
- Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster™ technology
- Field
- One pasture field
- Herd
- One of his cattle herds of 24 cows each
- Objective
- To see if improving the quality of the grass would increase the production of his cows.
Shorter grass rotation and sustained extra daily milk production.
Grass rotation with Kyminasi Plants Crop Booster™ technology was reduced from 30 to 16 days. The sustained and permanent increase in extra milk production is evident across the first, second, and third month.
Grass Rotation
Grass rotation was reduced from 30 to 16 days.
Extra Milk
Extra daily milk production increased from 50 liters in the first month to 140 liters in the third month.
Forage Dry Matter
Plant tissue examinations of the forage showed 20% more dry matter.
Nutrient Elements
Forage showed greater abundance of calcium, potassium, iron, manganese, zinc, and fiber.
| Result Area | Measurement | Result |
|---|---|---|
| Grass rotation | Reduced rotation period | 30 to 16 days |
| Extra milk production | First month | 50 liters extra daily |
| Extra milk production | Second month | 80 liters extra daily |
| Extra milk production | Third month | 140 liters extra daily |
| Forage dry matter | Plant tissue examination | 20% more dry matter |
| Nutrient elements | Plant tissue examination of forage | Greater abundance of calcium, potassium, iron, manganese, zinc, and fiber |
Why this matters for dairy producers: Plant tissue examinations of the forage showed 20% more dry matter, as well as a greater abundance of important nutrient elements such as calcium, potassium, iron, manganese, zinc, and fiber. This added nutrient content in the forage will likely also result in more nutrient content in the milk that we are now producing more of.
