Amino acid nutrition in lactating cows: Understanding and utilizing amino acid efficiency

By understanding a cow’s metabolic flexibility, one can develop targeting amino acid feeding strategies.

November 15, 2022

It is an exciting time in the world of dairy nutrition with the recent update to the nutrient requirements of dairy cattle by the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine (NASEM, 2021).

Four hurdles of trace mineral nutrition in the close-up dry cow

Four major hurdles that must be addressed for micro-minerals in the close-up dry cow are intake, absorption, excretion and antagonism.

Allan Chestnut

Heat in the summer is a given, and decreases in milk production and dry matter intake (DMI) will usually follow.

Cutting through the clutter of rumen modifiers and methane reduction

May 25, 2022

Kate Cowles

As the conversation around climate change, agriculture and ruminants continues, the dairy industry will be under pressure to try various greenhouse gas mitigation techniques.
