Following last week's first batch of interviews and extracts from NDF2010 International Symposium on Role of Plant Cell Walls in Dairy Cow Nutrition organized by the Centre for Animal Nutrition in the Netherlands and Lallemand Animal Nutrition, we are publishing the following video interviews:
Professor Michael Allen, from Michigan State University is the author or co-author of over 500 publications. His research interests include the effects of diet characteristics on energy intake and partitioning and improving forage utilization.
At Wageningen NDF2010 symposium, he told the audience how the influence of fiber quality and content on feed intake depends on the cows lactating phase or productivity. He also spoke about the link between NDF degradability and milk production and how improving fiber degradability increases milk production without body weight loss.
Dr Ana Lourenço from University Tras-os-Montes e Alto Douro, in Portugal focused on the role of live yeast to increase forages NDF digestibility. Among her research interests, Ana Lourenço concentrates on sustainable nutrition to reduce phosphate losses as well as improvement of forage digestibility.
She conducted studies on a large array of forage samples (maize and grass silage), showing that the use of live yeast S. cerevisiae CNCM I-1077 (Levucell SC) , known to stabilize rumen pH and stimulate endogenous fibre-degrading microbial populations, can play a part in improving NDF degradation in situ. This effect was all the more important as the forage initial degradability was low. She also presented new works with ruminant specific live yeast on forages digestibility (Levucell SC).

Eric Teunissen (Sales & Product Manager Feed Additives from Trouw Nutrition (Netherlands) discuss with Jacob Goelema, De Heus (Netherlands) about his own experience with ruminant specific live yeast (Levucell SC) and fibre degradation.
Next week, a final series of videos will be published, with interview from dairy nutrition expert Professor Charles Sniffen.
