Dear Bill,Thanks very for article,and i have just few questions.1. Considering many tropical or subtropical forages differ markedly from typical U.S./European forages:· Does the NASEM (2021) equation set (as referenced in your article) reliably apply in tropical dairy systems (e.g., high-moisture, tropical grasses or maize stover-based diets)?· Would you recommend local calibration of mineral abso ...

Trace elements are required for numerous metabolic functions in livestock. Optimal production and performance require adequate intake of balanced trace minerals. As trace mineral status of the animal declines from adequate to marginal, immunity and enzyme functions are compromised followed by the loss of performance and reproduction.CopperCopper deficiency is a serious problem for dairy cattle. Co ...

IntroductionThe rise in milk production has been accompanied by increasing incidence of health problems, declining ability to reproduce and declining the fertility of modern dairy cows. The transition from late gestation to early lactation is viewed as one of the most challenging elements of the production cycle. Perhaps the most important physiological change occurring during this period is the d ...
