Introduction Precision nutrition aims to design nutritional recommendations in order to increase metabolic efficiency, reduce costs, improve product quality, minimize environmental impact while improving the health and well-being of dairy cattle at the individual level. According to Gonzales et al. (2018): “Precision animal nutrition requires the application of principles, techniques and technologies that automatically integrate biological and physical processes...

Introduction Biological rhythms are repeating patterns that are driven by time-keeping mechanisms within the animal and are adaptive as they coordinate physiology and metabolism with the external environment. The dairy cow has a well-recognized natural daily pattern of feed intake and milk synthesis and an annual rhythm of milk composition, but regulation of these rhythms has not been well described in the literature or well considered in current dairy management. We commonly...

Background 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. At calving, dairy cows go from a period of positive energy balance to negative energy balance. There is a surge in blood non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) at calving, due to the stress and the hormonal changes associated with...

The global liquid feed market trends suggest a fast-paced recovery from the losses incurred due to the COVID-19 pandemic, as manufacturers have been signing mergers, partnerships, and acquisitions worldwide. Over the next few years, the consumption of supplements such as trace minerals, vitamins, fats, phosphoric acid, and urea in animal feed products is poised to see an uptick, thanks to the rising support from government incentives and programs.
By 2027, the ...

Hello, We have 20 HF cows in our farm which are at second lactation. We feed them corn, alfalfa, pellets, mineral mixture.jowar forage. The problem we are facing is that cows don't have the require body weight and this results in low milk production ie 10liter/day.
It would be helpful if you can guide us with nutrient and feeding management.
Thanks ...

Introduction Gut health is intrinsically linked with animal health, which in turn dictates cost efficient production. Animal health and productivity are intrinsically linked, as are gut health and animal health. In many diseases, diet is implicated as a contributing factor by having direct effects on host metabolism, immune responses, and microbiome composition, subsequently altering disease susceptibility (Plaizier et al. 2018). Gut health is defined...

To maximize profitability in dairy farming, it is important to understand the different stages in the life cycle of a bovine and provide special attention during the stages which have the highest influence on productivity and return on investment. The 50-day transition period (20-day close up period and 30-day fresh animal period) is a critical stage, which can form the foundation for a successful and highly profitable lactation. ...

Trace elements are required for numerous metabolic functions in livestock. Optimal production and performance require adequate intake of balanced trace minerals. As trace mineral status of the animal declines from adequate to marginal, immunity and enzyme functions are compromised followed by the loss of performance and reproduction. ...

The inclusion of plant extracts in livestock feed supplements has been widely researched as a strategy to replace synthetic feed additives and improve animal health and production traits. Among several plant metabolites, tannins have attracted significant attention in regards to dairy cows. Tannins are water soluble plant polyphenol metabolites known for a binding affinity for proteins, amino acids, metal ions and polysaccharides (Makkar, 2003; Mueller-Harvey, 2006). They have the ability to...
