"Defenders of Dairy Diet"
Is there better today than yesterday?
"TMR" is.....?
People outside the industry will think that it is: "tomorrow", "technical record report", "a large machine" and so on and so on:
"TMR": is the abbreviation of the English Total Mixed Rations (full mixed diet). The animal husbandry company has a group of people who are specialized in processing and making TMRs, called TMR personnel. Because it is related to whether the cows eat well or not every day, whether they eat enough, and whether they eat accurately or inaccurately, every operation of the TMR staff is a challenge with real precision; the stirring time and cutting length of each diet are gamed between the millimeter.
They are dairy cow diet processors of the animal husbandry company and the "bread defenders" of every cow.
The most beautiful cattle in this issue talk to the TMR team of the Production Department of Stone Forest Ranch to understand the cattle raising experience of each "Daddy and Grandma"
Stone Forest Ranch TMR Team
01 Be the most sensitive to time and data
There are a total of 5 members of the Stone Forest Ranch TMR team, plus the head of the production department and the dairy nutritionist of the farm, a total of 7 members. The average age of the team is more than 40 years old and the average length of service is more than 6 years.
"We're afraid of the people who got up earlier on the ranch!" This is a sentence said by Bi Chunhua, head of the TMR team of the Stone Forest Ranch Production Department. They get up at 4:30 a.m. and go to sleep at 11 p.m., where they have seen the beautiful morning glow of the Yunnan Stone Forest, smelled the fragrance of the dew on the flower platform in the production area, and listened to the mooing of cows stretching out in the morning.
At 4:30 in the morning, the day's work began, they put on the equipment, debugged the instruments and equipment, assigned the key tasks of the day's work, at 5:00 on time to make the cow breakfast, according to the "menu" requirements, the TMR driver put the forage, silage with a forklift into the TMR mixer, the mixer is responsible for the concentrate, small material with the conveyor into the TMR mixer. With everyone's many years of "cooking" experience, what kind of material needs to be stirred for a long time has long been in the chest. At 5:30, each "daddy" begins to drive a TMR mixer into the barn to serve each cow a standard and delicious breakfast.
Because the cow is expected to arrive, the timeliness of the cow's feeding is particularly important, and every TMR's concept of time must be very sensitive! At the same time, if TMR employees are not in place today, it will affect the milk production of the cows, and the milk volume will not be recovered tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or even a week, so every meal of the cows is a challenge for them.
02 Good grades are pressure and motivation
Stone Forest Ranch was named the "Operational Excellence" Advanced Team in the 2021 Annual Evaluation; it ranked first in veterinary, nutrition, breeding, and equipment lines. At the same time, the TMR team also performed well, winning the first place in the feeding line, the first place in the TMR feeding accuracy project, the second place in the TMR processing quality project, and the first place in the management evaluation of the TMR team before the class every month.
The medals and certificates were soft, and Li Meiying, head of the production department, said: "The TMR team has achieved such a good result, we are very happy, but also under pressure! It's easy to be overtaken, it's too hard to keep it. “
Pre-class meeting
Every day everyone needs to think: Is it better to do today than yesterday? Are today's charging errors more accurate than yesterday's? Is the mixing quality more stable than yesterday?
truly! They also went a step further, with the average dosing error rate of Stone Forest Ranch in the first quarter of 2022 decreasing by 0.74% compared with the same period and the feeding error rate by 1.57% compared with the same period.
The results will always be refreshed, only with this achievement to find a place to break through and improve, is to do excellent!
03 On the road to excellence, the need for "inner volume"
They take 10 days a month to train on the professional operation of TMR, including the accuracy of loading and feeding, the length of the diet cut, and the error of feeding. Keep practicing, looking for gaps, and finding breakthroughs between centimeters. They are very "inward-looking", never sloppy in their training results, and do not admit defeat to each other. The TMR assessment mechanism has been developed in the team, and the members with the best operation indicators will be rated as "TMR Stars" every month.
Director Li Meiying said to me: "Everyone cherishes the opportunity to receive training and practice every month, and some members will take time off work to train." ”
Every member of the team is not good at words, but in the field they are familiar with, everyone will actively explore and try, have the courage to accept new things, practice deliberately, and practice the truth!
"Every time it's time to feed the cows, the cows are running towards you like a child. This is the most healing time, but also the most valuable time for yourself, and it feels good to be needed by a cow! ”
This is the common voice of every member of the TMR team.
They say: Everyone on the team is important! Working with each other, we have the current TMR team of Stone Forest Ranch. "Energetic, dare to think and dare to do" is everyone's evaluation of them. This battle with accuracy and precision will continue to be carried out, and I hope that the Stone Forest Ranch TMR team can be better every day than yesterday!
