Benefits of precision mineral nutrition can include reduced diet costs, reduced environmental impact, and reduced risk of toxicity. The major problem with precision mineral nutrition is increased risk of deficiency. Deficiency can be manifested as a clinical deficiency (e.g., grass tetany caused by inadequate magnesium), or as numerous subclinical...
Introduction Downer cow syndrome (DCS) is defined as lateral or sternal recumbency that persists for longer than 24 hours [1], or that persists for longer than two weeks despite of treatment [2]. The incidence of this syndrome ranges from 4.5 to 14% [3]. Downer cow syndrome can be seen in all stages of the animal’s reproductive cycle but the majority of all downer cows are diagnosed shortly after parturition. A multitude of metabolic, infectious, toxic, degenerative and...

There is no general consensus about a method to assess the bioavailability of rumen-protected methionine (RPM). Measuring methionine (MET) concentrations in blood can be misleading because of differences in the coating technology, which impacts the release of MET. Indeed, MET from Mepron® (85% DLM; Evonik) is protected with ethylcellulose and is released during intestinal “abrasion” of the coating, leading to its slow release into the blood. Conversely, RPM products coated...
