Introduction Precision nutrition means diets are formulated as close as possible to requirements while avoiding any deficiency issues. 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...

“Spotted” or “mottled” eggshells are those that show many translucent spots during candling. Under normal light, the eggs may appear marble-like. The translucent spots are areas where the eggshell structure is disorganized and has become thinner and weaker. The normal eggshell has many pores to allow the gas exchange...

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...

Balchem has been perfecting the art of microencapsulation for more than 50 years and has spent nearly 30 years applying this technology to dairy animals to protect compounds from ruminal degradation. Balchem launched its first animal nutrition product - ReaShure® Precision Release Choline - in late 1999. Through encapsulation, ReaShure passes safely through the rumen to the abomasum and small intestine to effectively deliver choline, an essential nutrient required by dairy cows....
Heat stress can have a huge impact on all cows; reducing dry matter intake, suppressing immune responses and decreasing reproductive performance. Dr. Geoff Dahl takes a closer look at how heat stress affects late gestation cows and the additional toll heat stress takes on the resulting calf. ...

2. All amino acids are in l form (natural form) & are absorbed quickly & easily by plants.
3. No cyclization of glutamine which is important for energy metabolism.
4. No destruction of aspargine which has active role in respiratory function.
5. Tryptophan which is starting material for...
NiaShure is rumen-protected to shield the niacin from microbial degradation in the rumen while allowing release further down the digestive tract. Research shows that as much as 95% of raw niacin is broken down in the rumen. Balchem’s proprietary encapsulation process ensures that NiaShure reliably delivers significantly more niacin to the intestinal tract than raw niacin. ...
