Heat stress (HS) is well known to negatively influence dairy cow’s wellbeing, health and productivity. Heat stress is a multi-billion-dollar global problem. It impairs cow’s performance during summer when cows are exposed to high ambient temperatures, direct and indirect solar radiations, and high humidity. While significant developments have been achieved over the last few decades to mitigate the negative impact of HS, such as physical modification of the environment to protect...

Introduction Precision nutrition means diets are formulated as close as possible to requirements while avoiding any deficiency issues. Benefits of precision mineral nutrition can include reduced diet costs, reduced environmental impact, and reduced risk of toxicity. The major problem with precision mineral nutrition is increased risk of deficiency. Deficiency can be manifested as a clinical deficiency (e.g., grass tetany caused by inadequate magnesium), or as numerous subclinical...

Introduction Near record high feed, fuel, and fertilizer prices, and high inflation rates all have put increasing economic burden on beef producers. The increased cost of feeding cattle means that increasing feed efficiency is critical to feedlot production. Historically, feed costs represent about 70% of the total cost of production for feedlot operators and therefore, feed efficiency has 4 x greater economic return when compared to the same improvement in feedlot growth (Gibb and...

Introduction Ruminants play a crucial role in food security. They supply 51% of all protein from the livestock sector; of which 67 and 33% are from milk and meat, respectively (Gerber et al., 2013). For many populations, livestock is a primary source of nutrition, and not simply a source of calories. Ruminants have the digestive particularity of being able to digest fibrous material (i.e., forages, agro-industrial by-products and crop residues) that is not edible to humans, and...

Introduction Bovine colostrum is largely known for its crucial role in providing the newborn dairy calf with immunoglobulin G (IgG) to establish passive immunity. However, IgG is only one of numerous colostral bioactive compounds – including hormones, fatty acids, and sialylated oligosaccharides (OS) – that have an unrealized potential to positively stimulate calf development (Fischer-Tlustos et al., 2021). In contrast to IgG, many of these bioactive factors...

Introduction Governments, the private sector, and consumers are increasingly aware of the potential impacts of elevated greenhouse gases (GHG) in the atmosphere and their impacts on climate change. All segments of society are challenged with reducing GHG emissions to limit global warming to 1.5◦ C above pre-industrial levels by 2050. While no government legislation or carbon tax has been imposed on livestock emissions in Canada, there is increasing pressure on the...

Introduction The global population is anticipated to reach around 10 billion people by 2050. At the same time the global middle-class is growing significantly particularly in high populous countries such as China and India. The combination of these two factors places significant pressure on global food systems which must be capable of providing food and nutrition security in 2050. The next 30 years are arguably one of the most critical transitions in human history as we approach a...

Introduction Suboptimal milk yield limits the U.S. dairy industry’s productive competitiveness, marginalizes efforts to reduce inputs into food production, and increases animal agriculture’s carbon footprint. There are a variety of circumstances in a cow’s life which result in hindered productivity including heat stress, rumen and hindgut acidosis, feed restriction, and psychological stress associated with normal animal practices (i.e., pen changes, weaning,...

According to the Italian website CLALIT, in 2021 the Italian dairy sector accounted for almost 10% of the total EU milk production and 6% of EU milk exports. Italy exports nearly 35% of its milk production, mostly cheese, with high added value to the milk. Italian dairy herd consists of 1.6 million dairy cows, most of them in farms located in the Po valley region, in the north of the country. Milk production in 2021 reached 13.2 billion litres, when per cow annual milk production is 8,300...
