TheFODD: Your Solution to Reducing Feed Costs

Our straightforward system creates two segments–fines and fodder– making it easy for producers focused on reducing feed costs while optimizing rations. The fines, rich in starch and corn, and the fodder from corn stover allow for a tailored feed strategy.

In dry cow rations, substituting fodder–valued at about half the cost of straw, grass, hay, or other low-energy feeds–saves roughly $100 per cow.

It also eliminates the need for decat, anionic salts, calcium boluses, gels, and other additivies used to fix unbalanced diets. The result is a naturally balanced, cost-effective ration that cuts expenses and reduces inputs.

While lactating ration costs stay about the same, grain corn levels are reduced, creating real, tangible savings.This isn’t magic–it’s measurable, and it has a major impact on your bottom line.
