Welcome to the page about Dairy cattle nutrition of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Dairy cattle nutrition.
Introduction With the increased cost of grain and forages in the USA, dairy producers have turned their attention to the feed efficiency of milk production. Low on-farm starch digestibility contributes to reduced feed efficiency. Several researchers have demonstrated that measuring fecal starch (FS) is highly correlated to total tract starch digestibility in dairy cows. One factor affecting the digestibility of starch in...

Introduction Grouping cows is a common practice farmers use to manage their herd more efficiently. Farmers use this strategy to separate far-off, close-up, sick, fresh, and pregnant cows. Grouping addresses cows’ specific needs. However, grouping lactating cows for nutritional purposes and providing groups with more precise diets has not been adopted as widely as it could be, despite the fact that many studies...

Dear all
As we all know about thereats of FMD to the dairy animals and its impact on dairy balance sheet and as dairy industry is turned towards new achievements including automizations and dairy softwares.but still there is a feeling of question mark regarding FMD.my question arises that can we erradicate it worldwide?or what are those preventive measures that can be beneficial for a dairy farm or that can cover a large area?
Waiting for your expert opinion.

Why use organic micro minerals? Use of organic micro minerals (Zn, Cu and Mn) has a positive effect on hoof health, udder health, reproduction and milk yield. How are inorganic micro minerals absorbed? Inorganic micro minerals have to be dissolved in the digestive fluid (is transformed into ionic form) and then bound to a suitable adjuvant...

A robust immune system is vital for dairy cows to live long, healthy, and productive lives. Multiple factors affect the immune system, and, arguably, good nutrition is one of the most significant keys to efficient immune function. Research shows a properly functioning immune system uses key diet components, including vitamins, minerals, energy, and antioxidants.
Vitamins Immune system function can be significantly impaired...

1. Introduction. The intensification of grazing dairy systems has led to an increase on the use of supplements and more recently on the use of total mixed rations (TMR) (Wales et al., 2013), particularly when imbalances between herbage production and herd requirements occur during the course of a year (Chilibroste et al., 2007; Wales et al., 2013). Increased levels of TMR...

Introduction Over millennia, grazing ruminants have, for the most part, evolved on the great grasslands of the world, ranging from the savanna and tropical grasslands of the equatorial regions to the temperate grasslands at slightly higher latitudes. Less extensive are the high-altitude alpine pasture and marginal tundra biomes, in which many unique distinctive breeds and species of livestock have evolved, which, although...

Introduction The seasonal effects of heat stress have tremendous impact on dairying in India. Adjustments in nutrition and feeding management can alleviate some of the negative effect on health and performance, but compared with environmental modification, manipulation of the cow’s diet specifically for heat stress, has little effect on productivity. Normal physiological processes require that the...

Introduction The objective of this article is to briefly describe the most common ethanol coproducts, how they are produced, and typical nutrient compositions. Rapid growth of the ethanol industry in the United States over the last decade has generated large quantities of ethanol coproducts, which are now commonly available as feedstuffs for livestock. These coproducts are often added to livestock diets as a source...

Introduction There continues to be a lot of interest in corn silage harvested with a self-propelled forage harvester (SPFH) equipped with an aftermarket processor having cross-grooved processing rolls set for 2- to 3-mm roll gap and greater roll speed differential than has typically been used (32% versus 21%). Also, the developer of this processor recommends that the SPFH be set for a longer theoretical length of cut...

Introduction
The factors driving food selection, feeding and nutrition-related performance are multiple and complex. These complexities arise from the fact that the many nutrients obtained from foods usually cannot be considered in isolation, but interact in complex ways in their effects on animals. Most models of nutrition have ignored this complexity, rather opting for the simplifying assumption that the...

Introduction Fertility of dairy cow is reduced in last few decades with increased productivity. Reduced fertility may limit the profitability and sustainability of dairy farms. Fertility is a multi-factorial trait and it is affected by number of factors viz. genetic, environmental, dietary and management factors with their complex interactions which makes difficult to determine the exact reason. Stress could be one...
