Additives and feedstuffs in dairy cattle nutrition
Welcome to the page about Additives and feedstuffs in dairy cattle nutrition of Engormix; a source of knowledge on Additives and feedstuffs in dairy cattle nutrition.
Considering the livestock production, natural betaine plays a key role in the metabolism of monogastric animals. However, the role of betaine in ruminants and the rumen activity is underexplored until now. Therefore, AGRANA invested in a research project to study the effect of natural betaine on the rumen activity. In collaboration with the University of Veterinary Medicine, Vienna a recent study in vitro was carried out. The aim was to test natural betaine as a possible...

Feed flavours are additives that are being increasingly used in animal nutrition as a tool to enhance both the smell and taste of feed, in order to improve feed intake. It is generally observed that a higher feed intake in animals leads to improved performance and consequently a higher return on investment. ...

Introduction Complementary grazing systems (CGS) involve the rotation of animals between forage resources of species with different patterns of seasonal growth and development (Gillen et al., 1999; Moore et al., 2004). The aim of the CGS is to overcome the seasonal deficiencies in the production of dry matter and nutrients content that are inherent to the use of a single resource. The advantages of CGS include more efficient use of each forage resource and the subsequent...

Imminent VFD regulations are anticipated to create challenging conditions for dairy producers. Yeast products are one of the many options that are being explored to overcome these challenges. There is a wide range of yeasts and yeast-derived products available but with varying efficacy. Refined Functional Carbohydrates (RFC™) derived from yeast act through a number of mechanisms to alleviate production stressors leading to improved profitability. Some of these benefits include ability...

Silvopastoral systems One of the limitations for the efficient production of meat and milk in livestock systems of Venezuela is the scarcity of high-protein forage from plants adapted to the acid soils and prolonged droughts of the Llanos (savannas). The Llanos cover an estimated area of 15-20 M ha predominantly in the southeast and southwest of the country. They are mainly covered with native grasses (Trachypogon spp.), which have low carrying capacity (0.10-0.25 AU/ha; 1 AU =...

Introduction Feeding high-producing cows continues to challenge dairy farmers and nutritionists. Also, dairy profit margins vary as milk prices and feed costs shift yearly. Feed costs represent the largest input cost to produce milk (estimated to be 35 to 50 percent). Feed additives are a group of feed ingredients that can cause a desired animal response in a non-nutrient role, such as pH shift, growth,...

Background Carinata (Brassica carinata) is a new oilseed that shows great potential for the Midwest. This oilseed has been selectively bred for high oil concentration ideal for biofuels and bio-oil production. Carinata meal is the co-product resulting from the oil extraction of the seeds. This meal has high protein content (36-48% crude protein), highly degradable in the rumen, and with a total digestibility of the protein a...

Fat found in milk originates from three sources; de novo fatty acids synthesised in the milk gland of the cow (short-chain C4 to C14) comprise about 20-30% of total milk fatty acids, preformed fatty acids (long chain C18:0, C18:1 and C18:3) represent 35-40%, and the mixed group of fatty acids (C16) make up about 35%.
Research has shown that the percentage of milk de novo fatty acids is positively correlated with the percentage of fat and true protein in the milk. It has also been...
