As dairy cattle productivity continues to increase through genetic advancement, providing adequate quantities of key nutrients has become increasingly challenging. Encapsulation technologies offer nutritionists a means of delivering nutrients that are susceptible to ruminal degradation, improving precision and formulation flexibility. However, not all encapsulated products perform equally. Differences in encapsulation technology and manufacturing can significantly affect nutrient...

1. Introduction High-producing dairy cows have high nutrient requirements, commonly met by feeding concentrated feeds rich in nutrients that can be digested and absorbed as volatile fatty acids in the rumen or as glucose and amino acids in the small intestine. Starch and protein are essential for rumen microbial growth, and a synchronized release and digestion of these nutrients in the rumen can enhance microbial protein synthesis and thus amino acids absorbed in the small...

INTRODUCTION Feed (ration) formulation is a technique by which different feed ingredients are combined to provide required nutrient to animals for a period of time, usually 24 hours, at different stages of production. A ration should supply all essential nutrients and energy to maintain vital physiological functions of growth, reproduction and health of animals. Ration should be palatable, digestible with permissible level of anti-nutritional...

INTRODUCTION While the fat of ruminant products in many cases is considered harmful to human health for its excessive content on saturated fatty acids, in latest years has been found that a component, the conjugated linolenic acid (CLA), content anticancer properties, in addition to lipolytic activity, prevention of atherosclerosis and diabetes (NRC, 1996). The CLA is the term used to describe one or more positional and geometric isomers of linolenic acid (cis-9, cis-12)...

Methionine: Supporting Mammary Development and Milk Production
Suggested link
Due to genetic selection for specific production-related traits, genetic progress in dairy cattle, particularly Holsteins, has accelerated greatly. Advances in genomics have dramatically increased the potential for milk fat and protein yields (Figures 1 and 2). Today’s cows are genetically capable of producing levels of components that would have been considered impossible just a decade ago. However, fully reaching that potential now depends highly on more precise nutrition. As...

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. ...

Introduction The first phase of lactation remains the most nutritionally stressful period for a dairy cow. Milk yield rises sharply while dry matter intake (DMI) increases more slowly, creating a temporary negative energy and protein balance. Many farmers respond by adding more protein, assuming it will automatically boost milk. Yet excessive protein rarely improves yield and often leads to higher nitrogen waste, liver stress, and feed costs. This article revisits the...
