1 Introduction Milk is one of the foods with a crucial nutritional composition for human health. Among the components of milk, fat has been associated with human diseases for years due to its high saturated fatty acid content (Palmquist, 2010). About 70% of the fatty acids in milk triacylglycerols are saturated, 25% are monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA), and 5% are polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) (Lopes et al., 2016; Abd El-Salam & El-Shibiny, 2020). Studies have shown...

Introduction Dairy cows are provided high allocations of grain following calving to meet high energy demands for milk production. However, increased grain consumption increases the flow of fermentable carbohydrates to the hindgut, increasing hindgut fermentation (Abdela, 2016). If excessive fermentation occurs, high osmotic pressure and a drop in pH induce inflammation and damage hindgut epithelial cells, thus increasing gut permeability and allowing...

INTRODUCTION Sorghum ( Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench) is a tropical forage species widely used in ruminant nutrition. Sorghum is considered the best option in arid and semi-arid regions worldwide. Sorghum is a typical plant of hot climates due to its xerophilic characteristics, low soil fertility requirements, high tolerance/resistance to water stress and salinity (HASSAN et al., 2018). Sorghum grain has been used as an energy source in ruminant diet formulation and...

Ruminants naturally discriminate between feeds to preserve their health. They reject bitterness and sourness, but they accept salty and sweet. Do you want to know more about how cows discriminate between feeds and how palatability can improve voluntary feed intake? Listen to Sébastien Chaboche, Business Manager for Palatability in Europe and CIS, with more than 20 years of experience in ruminant nutrition....

The increasing household incomes of consumers across the world and their willingness to spend on food products has led to a growing intake of meat. This has given rise to consistent efforts by the livestock owners to effectively look after the health and hygiene of the animals along with the provision of functional and supplementary components in their feed. One such element that is marking its presence in animal feed is yeast as it shows immense potential in enhancing animal growth...

The potato protein market is estimated to procure steady growth supported by robust demand for high nutritional, plant-based protein supplements. Consumers are steadily gravitating towards highly nutritious diet and are well-informed about the minimum levels of daily protein requirements. Rising environmental concerns have led people to adopt a vegan diet, which is fueling the demand for plant-based ingredients. As such, potato protein concentrate is likely to dominate the industry in the...

Considering the livestock production, natural betaine plays a key role in the metabolism of monogastric animals. However, the role of betaine in ruminants and the rumen activity is underexplored until now. Therefore, AGRANA invested in a research project to study the effect of natural betaine on the rumen activity. In collaboration with the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna a recent study in vitro was carried out. The aim was to test natural betaine as a possible...

Feed mixing and delivery is one of the most important activities on the dairy. Mixing and feeding a total mixed ration (TMR) is a multiple-times-per-day activity. Doing this job accurately and consistently time and time again, batch after batch and day after day is critical to production (volume and components), animal health and overall farm economics.
Accuracy and consistency of mixing and feed delivery may be one of the greatest effectors of production and feed efficiency on the...

Feed flavours are additives that are being increasingly used in animal nutrition as a tool to enhance both the smell and taste of feed, in order to improve feed intake. It is generally observed that a higher feed intake in animals leads to improved performance and consequently a higher return on investment. ...

Introduction The very word behavior doesn’t comply with humans only, it is with animals too. Animals, as humans do, also have their typical feeding habits. They behave in different manner to different feeds. Ethology is the name given to the science that deals with animal behavior. Better understanding of Ethology helps us to make better and efficient feeding management which is an inevitable part of a farm operation. Types of ingestive...
