Intestinal barrier integrity plays a central role in the health and productivity of lactating dairy cows, particularly during periods of heat stress and metabolic...

Today, nutritionists increasingly recognize that the solution isn’t more protein—it’s the right balance of nitrogen sources. Switching to amino acid-focused ration formulation allows us...

Colostrum management is the first and most decisive step in securing a calf’s survival, health, and long-term performance. As calves are born without immune...

Trace minerals play a critical role in dairy cow health, performance, and fertility, yet emerging data suggest that oversupply—rather than deficiency—is increasingly common in...

It is critical for every farm to have an effective strategy to prevent and treat calf diarrhea, as quick action should be taken when...

HoloRuminant unites scientists, industry and farmers to uncover how ruminant-associated microbiomes interact with their host across early life, weaning, diet shifts and lactation. By...

Up to 75% of cow diseases occur within the first month post-calving — making this phase critical for long-term health and productivity. While transition...

This article explores how amino acid balancing in dairy cow diets boosts sustainability by cutting greenhouse gas emissions, improving nitrogen efficiency, supporting animal health,...

Rumen-protected methionine’s role in cow health and productivity extends beyond milk production to support immune function, metabolism, and resilience during stress. Emerging research highlights...

Feed formulation strategies play a critical role in mitigating heat stress in transition dairy cows, as demonstrated by an August 2023 trial in the...
