Priority IAC Achieve complete herd health- powered by our Smartbacteria and mineral products. Learn more at forhealthycows.com.

Priority IAC is the only company bringing the fields of microbiology and nutrition together for animal health. P-One™ is truly a grassroots movement to empower dairy producers as Priority IAC provides a more cost effective and simpler approach to nutrition. Priority IAC was founded following the dispersal of Clover Mist Farms, a dairy focused on health, production, and genetics. Priority IAC maintains a research and product development mentality that starts on the farm. Diligently selecting from millions and millions of microflora, Priority IAC has identified the best of the best naturally occurring bacteria strains on their strength and performance. Only the most effective, highly focused, and beneficial bacteria that deliver on-farm results make the cut to be Priority IAC's Smart bacteria. Priority IAC is the founder and exclusive provider of P-One™, which ensures farmers can feed the highest quality homegrown forages for maximum benefit as it optimizes energy transport through efficient carbohydrate metabolism. Research shows these branded strains of Smart bacteria balance rumen pH, allowing producers to safely feed rapidly fermentable carbohydrates like soluble fiber, starch, and sugars. Priority IAC also provides Gold Spike™, which producers are choosing to combat mastitis and high SCC. Gold Spike™ works with the animal’s natural immune system through the GI tract and is a safe alternative to antibiotics as it has no milk or meat withholdings.

How we do nutrition: 8 principles. We call it Microbiology Nutrition.

01 Smart biome
02 Forage quality
03 Less is more
04 No straw in the ration
05 All corn silage ration
06 Feed to an empty bunk
07 Water is energy
08 Power to the producer

Each one works toward the same goal: a stable gut that helps support the whole animal and the whole operation. Save this post, and follow along as we break down each principle.

Every dairy producer knows the fear: cut dry matter intake, and milk drops with it. It's the assumption most rations are built around.

But that's only true when the cow isn't absorbing what she's already eating.

Producers running Priority IAC's Microbiology Nutrition program alongside Smartbacteria™ are seeing dry matter intake reductions of 7 to 10 pounds per head per day, without a corresponding drop in milk production.

That's not a ration trick. That's a rumen finally doing its job. Fix the fermentation foundation, and the feed bill has room to follow.

Full breakdown on the blog.

Learn why cutting dry matter intake does not have to mean cutting milk. See how fixing rumen fermentation first lets you tighten a dairy ration.

Proud to have one of our producers, Scott Brenner, on The Dairy Podcast Show talking about the shift he's made in his feeding program. Thanks for sharing your story, Scott. This is what The Foundation is all about.

Scott Brenner is the owner-operator of Hunter Haven Farms, a family-owned dairy in northwest Illinois. The farm milks about 1,000 cows and is co-owned with his wife and partners. Scott focuses on forage quality, digestible nutrients, dry cow management, water access, and practical feeding strategies that help cows convert feed more efficiently.

Animal safety requires constant vigilance.

Whether from accidental toxicity, incorrect drenching doses, chemical miscalculations, or feed mixing errors, overdoses in livestock are a real, critical issue.

Gold Spike is an oral, non-drug alternative to antibiotics. Available in powder-form for daily use in TMR and in capsule-form for an immediate immune boost.

Safe. Effective. Smart.

There’s still time to apply Chopper’s Choice to your late-summer and fall harvests!

Powered by Smartbacteria, our forage inoculants directly target the preservation and fermentation process before the crop reaches the rumen. When applied at harvest, Chopper’s Choice helps:

✔️ Drive Rapid Lactic Acid Fermentation: Quickly lowers pH by converting plant sugars into lactic acid, locking in nutrients and digestible dry matter.
✔️ Inhibit Heating, Wild Yeasts, and Molds: Outcompetes spoilage organisms to prevent aerobic deterioration when opening the silo or bunker — protecting palatability.

The result? High-quality forage that maximizes digestibility and herd performance at feeding.
