Lipid encapsulation has proved to be a valuable tool for protecting nutrients from degradation during processing, storage and digestion and making them available for absorption by the animal. Over the last years, many new encapsulated nutrients have entered the market. These products, and the processes that create them, differ greatly in design, technology, and unfortunately, performance. High quality encapsulated nutrients can provide nutritionists with a great deal of flexibility to...

Dairy cows are often thought of as metabolic super athletes, requiring hard work and a herculean effort to achieve high milk production. In reality, it’s just the opposite. Productivity is an expression of health and vitality, not a result of the cow working under stress. Put a cow in a healthy environment, provide adequate nutrition and they’ll fully express their genetic potential in the form of exceptional milk production. Instead of involving hard...

1. Introduction Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is one of the top 10 global threats to public health and is thought to be partly driven by the widespread use of antibiotics in food-producing animals (WHO, 2021). Globally, a greater proportion of the tonnage of all antibiotics sold are for use in food-producing animal sectors compared to for use in humans (Van Boeckel et al., 2017). In 2017, an estimated 93 million kilograms of active ingredient were sold worldwide for use in...

An article dealing with this topic was recently published in the prestigious journal of the dairy industry, Journal of Dairy Science (Espinoza-Sandoval et. al., JDS 106: 2023). The article examines, using a statistical model, the feasibility of investing in cooling the cows in the summer in various countries around the Mediterranean Sea (Europe, North Africa and the Middle East), where there are different “climate zones” regarding dairy farming. The model presented in this...

When talking about the negative impact of heat stress on milk production, we usually refer to the impact on milk volume (liters per cow per day or per lactation). The reality is that this is only part of the problem, which causes economic losses to farmers and dairy industry. As will be presented in this article, heat stress negatively affects milk fat and protein content and reduce milk quality, by increasing milk Somatic Cell Count (SCC) and bacterial count. In some cases, especially in...
