    the cows seem to be gone a bit runny in the dung lately.moving from 3rd cut to 2nd cut but its a slow change because they are in the same pit so still feeding a bit of both and there was only 8 days between cuts.abit of whole crop barley in the second cut but not alot yet. i only dosed yesterday so its not the effect of the dose and they are on silage with a month.havent started minerals yet.just looked up a past tread and there is a bit of cud being thrown up as well,might consider rolling out a bale of hay

    If the consistency change coincides with the dietary change the chances are you needn't look any further. Ruminal bacteria need two weeks to change over to suit a new diet. Your change is obviously not too extreme but nonetheless is a change. If the cattle are all loose but not sick or loosing weight I'd bide my time. The hay will certainly not hurt either.

    Most important bit of advice: Don't stand behind a scoury cow if she's coughing.

    The ultimate purpose of debate is not to produce consensus. It's to promote critical thinking.
