Effect of NDF digestibility on Diet Formulation and Animal Performance
Charlie
If we allow Soy Hulls in our TMR should we be able to put a ration together with more dNDF
and possibly move our B F up. Is there any source of Rumen Protected Histidine commercially?

Do you have a preference of Soy Bypass, aka Soy Plus etc.?
Charles Sniffen When buying Protected Methionine could Alimet compete w/ Smartamine head to
head or is there a higher Alimet inclusion rate needed? Is there a maximum amount of high quality RP Methionine before you plateau component values? Could unprotected Methionine and Histidine in calf milk be of value for calf health and growth? I`m thinking of injecting cows carrying
Heifer calves and all prefresh Heifers, as well as any milking cow > 120 DIM and open w/ 2 cc MuSe and 5 cc Multimin 90, The cost $3.30 per cow, is there potential to mitigate edema and/or placenta retains or possibly support neonatal calf health with this practice? In the milk cows I`m
expecting to enhance % pregnant w/ this injection process.
Please attempt to keep me thinking straight about this. Thanks from Addison County (VT).
