Introduction Lucerne is the main grazed forage of Argentina. However, there is a large yield and consumption gap on most dairy and beef farms. Jáuregui et al. (2019) indicated that < 5 t ha -1 are consumed on average on dairy farms. There is potential to close the gap by increased grazing frequency, particularly during periods of high growth such as spring (Jáuregui et al., 2022). However, the long-term effects of such management on lucerne persistence...
Introduction The major challenge in livestock farming worldwide is to increase and improve production while limiting environmental impact and competition for resources for human consumption. Ruminants are key to food security as they convert forages, not directly usable by monogastric animals and humans, into animal products for human food. They supply 51% of all protein with respectively 67% and 33% from milk and meat (Gerber et al., 2013). However, ruminant livestock...
Our solutions and programmes boost milk production and quality throughout the lactation cycle by prompting a better utilisation of nutrients. As a result, we help to ensure dairy farms are profitable and sustainable....
INTRODUCTION Balchem now manufactures a high-quality, ruminally protected choline product called ReaShure®-XC Rumen Protected Choline, the next generation of ReaShure which provides bioavailable choline in a more concentrated product. Choline is an essential nutrient that enables cows to utilize the fat (NEFA) mobilized from body stores. The production of NEFA is the cows’ natural way of managing negative energy balance during the early stages of lactation and...
Increasing the level of nutrition provided to dairy calves in the first weeks of life has resulted in several benefits such as decreased morbidity and mortality, faster recovery from disease, decreased age at first calving, improved mammary development, and increased milk production as an adult. What causes abomasal...
NiaShure™ is rumen-protected niacin that helps lower internal body temperature; protecting milk production and reproductive performance during the hot summer months. ...
Somatic cell count (SCC) is the total number of cells per milliliter of milk and is one of the main indicators of milk quality in dairy cows. Somatic cells are made of 2% mammary gland cells and around 98% white blood cells – leucocytes that are immune cells, produced by the cow’s immune system. As SCC are immune cells, the number found in the milk increases as a response to an immune challenge in the udder. This challenge is usually caused by pathogens and leads to inflammation....

Two new facilities increase production of encapsulated ingredients and add pilot plants for product development
CAVRIAGO, Italy – Kemin Industries, a global ingredient manufacturer that strives to sustainably transform the quality of life every day for 80 percent of the world with its products and services, has expanded its encapsulation production site in Cavriago, Italy, with two new facilities. To inaugurate the new manufacturing...
Calves require supplemental water early in life to support hydration, health, early grain intake, rumen development, and body growth. Supplying body water by feeding milk or milk substitute is not enough to optimize these performance factors. The rumen needs a separate source of pure water to feed the fermentation process that makes the rumen grow. ...
