FORAGES AND HEAT STRESS

FORAGES AND HEAT STRESS 07 March Print FORAGES AND HEAT STRESS   Classic data from Missouri show that heat stress conditions may reduce rumen pH to levels well below 6.0 – virtually identical to dropping dietary forage from 65 to 35%. Under these low-pH conditions we can expect inefficient rumen fiber fermentation and lower microbial protein output – both of which result in lower milk and milk component production. A traditional dietary recommendation during heat stress has been to feed...

Is bigger necessarily better?

Is bigger necessarily better? 12 March Print Is bigger necessarily better? For many years, Cornell University, Michigan State University and the University of Wisconsin have collected and summarized annual dairy farm financial records. Recently, these three institutions partnered to combine that data to look at financial performance over a 13-year period. In order to be considered in this analysis, each farm had to have at least five years of consecutive participation to examine their performance over time. In all,...

Equine Biotic

Equine Biotic A horse is much more than just a pet. It is a family member, brings friendship, respect, love and responsibility. Whoever own decides to share his time with horses- whether as owner, caregiver, horse sharer, trainer or veterinarian- takes on a great challenge. For our four-legged friend, we want a healthy and happy life. In addition to husbandry and exercise, the species-appropriate and healthy nutrition plays a great role. Roughage cannot provide enough nutrition for hard-working horses, pregnant and...

Omega Mix

Omega Mix Among common oilseeds, flaxseed or linseed contains the most alpha-Linolenic acid (omega-3) (Table 1). Today, it is proved that omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids have many benefits in different stages of lactation cycle. Similar to monogastric animals, in order to get the desired result, especially in the first phase of lactation, the optimal ratio of omega-6 to omega-3 in cattle’s diet must be around 4:1. Without using feeds rich in alpha-Linolenic acid, this ratio will not be achieved and...

G180

G180 Genesis180 3 to 6-month Calves Among the significant objectives and challenges of cattle farms are weight loss prevention in calves which exit the individual boxes to start their social lives, prevention of daily growth decrease after weaning and attaining optimal skeletal system to reach the ideal age for inoculation. Based on these, according to scientific and practical research, consumption of growing age feed as well as proper management do outstanding help in order to reach the mentioned goals. Nutrition in this critical...

Toxfin Binder

Toxfin Binder Toxifin   Wide-range mycotoxin binder Toxic molds and fungae are continuous and serious problems in the industry of poultry and cattle. Molds feed on nutrients and produce mycotoxins. Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) has estimated that 25% of food products are contaminated with mycotoxins. Farm studies show that intense poisonings can occur as a result of synergistic effects of mycotoxins in different animals. The real effect of mycotoxin-binding product depends on its absorbing mycotoxins highly and not release them throughout the alimentary canal. Absorption -...

Full Fat Soy

Whole Roasted Soybean (Flaked) By-pass Protein: In clear terms, bypass proteins are defined as the portion of the protein from a feedstuff that escapes from being broken down in the rumen by microbes and passes into the small intestine intact where it is then digested by enzymes and utilized by the animal as a source of protein. Why is it important to ‘bypass’ the rumen? Bypass protein is important because a large percentage of the rumen degraded protein is absorbed as ammonia and, if...

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] Genesis 50 Calf Starter   The Importance of Using Starter in Calves Nowadays, based on practical experiences and the undertaken scientific researches, appropriate calf nutrition plays a significant role in cattle farm management. Moreover, as farmers and industrial complex owners show more interest in cutting down on the costs and making weaning time as early as possible, it is even more vital for the calves' gastrointestinal tract (GT), in particular the rumen, to develop as soon and well as viable. Rumen development in the first...
