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...

A cow’s biology and genetics set the stage for her milk production potential. Thanks to genomics, the pace of genetic progress has accelerated in recent years, pushing that potential ever higher. But are we feeding cows to match it? Today’s dairy cows can achieve more with better nutrition, yet their ability to physically consume enough nutrients lags behind their rising requirements. ...

Spotlight: “Encapsulated nutrients can provide consistent, reliable and cost-effective alternatives to traditional feedstuffs. However, how well these products perform in terms of durability, rumen stability, intestinal release and, ultimately, cow performance vary depending on the encapsulation and manufacturing process utilized. Thus, it is critical that in situ , in vitro and in vivo research be used to evaluate an encapsulate’ s performance in...

Spotlight: “The interaction between lysine and methionine in increasing milk fat and feed efficiency is a perfect example of why balancing for all essential amino acids is so important. In an ideal world, we could provide exactly the required amount of essential amino acids, but this is difficult with only rumen protected forms of lysine and methionine currently available in the market. In this case, if we only balance for lysine or methionine instead of both, we could be missing out...

There is no question that the ongoing narrative concerning climate change and various “man-induced” gas emissions (including ammonia, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide) includes dairy production. While many producers (and others involved in agriculture) may not agree with the significance or level of gas contributions of agriculture to the total production, that disagreement may be somewhat irrelevant. The discussion, social media uproar, political activism and...

1. Introduction Dairy cows have to afford several endocrine, metabolic, reproductive, and immunological challenges during the productive cycle. These challenges are particularly pronounced during the transition period (TP), when cows experience a reduction in dry matter intake (DMI), leading to negative energy balance (NEB), lipomobilization, and body mass loss. This metabolic stress occurs alongside drastic changes in hormone concentrations, decreased blood calcium levels, and...
