OneTrak Claims.
A macro-ingredient for dairies that is Right Made Simple. Feeding practices are simplified while improving the health and performance of herds. Fed at 40% of the ration, it improves rumen health and results in greater energy intake and utilization of the entire diet.
OneTrak improves income over feed cost (IOFC)
In a pooled analysis of six research trials, IOFC was improved by over $0.60/hd. While this number changes depending on market dynamics, OneTrak consistently delivers improved economic returns to dairy operations.
Improved IOCF by over $0.60/hd
OneTrak improves milk production and components, leading to greater energy-corrected milk
In a pooled analysis of six research trials, where OneTrak was fed at 35–40% of the diet, milk production increased (7.4 lbs), component yield (both milk fat (0.25 lbs) and milk protein (0.27 lbs)) was improved, and fat and energy-corrected milk were increased (6.8 and 7.6 lbs, respectively).
Milk production increased by 7.4 lbs
Milk fat increased 0.25 lbs and protein by 0.27 lbs
OneTrak changes the rumen microbiome, resulting in improved nutrient utilization
OneTrak establishes a different microbial population vs. a conventional ration. This sets up the rumen to utilize the entire ration.
Improved energy utilization

- Effects of ruminal ammonia and butyrate concentrations on reticuloruminal epithelial blood flow and volatile fatty acid absorption kinetics under washed reticulorumen conditions in lactating dairy cows
OneTrak promotes healthy rumen epithelial tissue, which helps maintain a healthy rumen pH
Feeding OneTrak in dairy diets provides more butyrate as a substrate in the rumen. This aids in keeping the rumen healthy. Butyrate helps the rumen epithelium to form, regenerate, and repair healthy tissue, which in turn can lead to better absorption by the animal and a more healthy rumen pH. Butyrate is important for rumen epithelial development and function and aids in increased blood flow to the rumen and VFA absorption (Storm et al., 2011). A meta-regression analysis showed that butyrate concentrations increased in OneTrak diets. This may improve VFA absorption from the rumen, which may aid in maintaining a healthy rumen pH (Krogstad et al., 2021).

Optimal inclusion rate of OneTrak in the diets is between 35–40% of the diet dry matter, replacing a combination of grain, concentrate protein, and forages
A series of trials was completed looking at optimal replacement of concentrates and forages. While studies showed that as much as 70% of the diet could be replaced, optimal replacement based on performance is between 35–40% of the diet dry matter.
35–40% of the diet dry matter
- Maximal replacement of forage and concentrate with a new wet corn milling product for lactating dairy cows
- Effects of feeding increasing levels of wet corn gluten feed on production and ruminal fermentation in lactating dairy cows
- Milk production of dairy cows fed wet corn gluten feed during the dry period and lactation
- Effects of wet corn gluten feed on ruminal pH and productivity of lactating dairy cattle fed diets with sufficient physically effective fiber
- Response of lactating Holstein cows to increasing amounts of wet corn gluten feed
At recommended inclusion levels, OneTrak increases DMI (dry matter intake) by as much as four lbs, without sacrificing efficiency of energy-corrected milk production
In an analysis of six studies, where OneTrak was fed between 35-40% of the diet, DMI was increased by four lbs (P=0.06), while ECM/DMI was not different between the treatments.
Increases DMI by as much as 4 lbs
Reduced batching time
Eliminating ingredients and a premix saves dairies an average of two hours of batching time every day.
Save an average of 2 hours of batching time per day
Feeding OneTrak improves efficiency and simplifies the dairy operation by eliminating the need for a premix
Feeding OneTrak at 40% of the diet eliminates the need to make an on-farm premix. This translates into about another hour/day of time savings attributed to the simplicity of OneTrak.
Eliminates need to make an on-farm premix
Feeding OneTrak simplifies the operation by eliminating 4–5 ingredients (on average) that an operation has to source and handle
When feeding OneTrak, dairies typically eliminate 4–5 ingredients on-farm, with some commercial herds replacing as many as nine. This translates into an average time savings per batch of over 4.5 minutes, and adds up to about an hour of time savings in batching the TMR daily.
