Plenish® High Oleic Soybeans on Dairy Farms
Hear from dairy farmers Colton and Neal King on how Plenish has benefited their operation.
Improve On-Farm Feeding with Pioneer® brand Plenish High Oleic Soybeans
Long known for their yields and oil, Pioneer brand Plenish high oleic soybeans have 75% oleic acid, as compared to conventional soybeans with 22%. The unique qualities of Plenish can also equate to higher milk fat in dairy cows and lower feed costs for dairy producers. Here's how:
- Linoleic acid has been studied to cause milk fat depression (MFD) in dairy cows.
- Plenish high oleic soybeans offer a high oleic fatty acid option for dairies to better maximize milk fat production, which means they have less linoleic acid content compared to traditional commodity soybeans. This reduces milk fat depression.
- Plenish high oleic soybeans can help increase milk fat and decrease ration cost to minimize off-farm feed costs.
In some instances, Plenish high oleic soybeans can return from 40 cents to as much as $1 per cow, per day* to your operations.
Two Examples of How Plenish High Oleic Soybeans Increases Profitability
DECREASE COST
- Add Plenish Soybeans or Plenish Expeller Meal
- Remove Expensive Supplemental Fat
- Replace Some Supplemental Protein
- Increase ROI from Similar Production at Lower Cost
INCREASE MILKFAT
- Add Plenish Soybeans or Plenish Expeller Meal
- Remove High Linoleic Fat Source
- Replace Some Supplemental Protein
- Increase ROI from Increased Milkfat Production at Similar Cost
*Results vary with fluctuations in crop production costs, dairy cow ration ingredient values, and the relative worth of butterfat.
Diet changes shown keep TMR fat and protein levels constant.
Most dairies are seeing a combination of lower cost with increased milkfat.
