IntroductionThe transition period into lactation remains one of the most challenging and important phases of the production cycle in a dairy cow. It is a transient period around calving characterised by drastic changes in the hormonal status, 2 to 5-fold (Bradford, 2020) increases in nutrient demand and apportioning of 85% of body glucose to the mammary gland. Simultaneously, the requirement for s ...

Cooling means to reduce heat stress from cows was developed over the last four decades in Israel, and are applied to a different degree of success in many farms in the world. Cooling cows in the farm is based on the daily routine, which includes of cooling the cows by a combination of wetting and forced ventilation in the waiting yard and in the feeding line. In addition, cows are force venti ...

Mr Hazen DDGS is an interesting tool to solve the fast energy required in HOT environments and avoid decrease of the BCS of the cows. I do not use above 10% of the total ration I use (according the cases and type of DDGS) up to 7% of the total DM of the formula which is not the same.
Fat test in the milk is more linked with rumination process type of forage, size,% of forage, subclinical acidosis, ...

As a Dairy consultant working in HOT environments, for me the DDGS is a basic complement for the formulation into a feeding plan, provide a high source of energy which is very positive specifically in recent calving cows conditions (first 30 days) and after until 100 days of lactation help to keep the BCS.Also can be use in closeup cows about 2 to 3% total formula in DM, about 7% in fresh first ...

On any given day, the typical dairyman loses count of the challenges he deals with. From labor to mechanical issues, to sick or downed cows and paying the feed bill, the list goes on, seemingly forever.
One frequent challenge accounting for much of the drain on overall farm performance and profitability is lack of consistency. Consistency issues are pervasive throughout the typical dairy operatio ...

Thank You for This Informative Article
But Please My Observation this trial Done on Feedlot animals ( Holstein steers ) in which we can playing more in Formulation to save more cost and achieving maximum profit by using ( NPN) Like Urea and Another feed By Product
but Highly Producing cow we use NPN and another by product very carefully to not affect performance , Production and fertility
So ...

The single most issue being faced by the livestock farmer is a higher cost of production than the return from the product. The writer has rightly shown the proper and sustainable way to be cost effective I'm already using formulation based on urea reducing the cost of the feed on my 900 Sahiwal cows successfully. I'm of the opinion to continue this research towards cost effective inputs to make li ...
