Investing in Better Nutrition: How Quality Feed Drives Results
Dec 08, 2025
By John Scheuers, Vice President - Feed
Not all Feed Products are created Equal and your animal’s performance can be different as a result.
At United Cooperative we continue to make investments to produce quality feed products to allow your high producing animals to perform at their peak capabilities. When it comes to comparing Bypass proteins sources, not all these products are the same. It is important to understand there are differences in manufacturing that affect the end result in CP, RUP levels, fat levels and digestibility levels. These changes between products are relative to significant differences in how one must balance a ration to get top animal performance. The attached chart explains some of the differences between feeds that fall into the “Bypass” proteins available locally. As you can see the processes are different and the end results between products are also different.
If you have any questions, please contact one or our Feed Specialist and we will be able to share additional information with you. We continue to look for additional ways to add value at your farm gate. Thanks for the working relationship that we have with you and we look forward to working together in the future.
