NEWS FEED & ADDITIVE MAGAZINE June 2023 19 Berg + Schmidt Animal Nutrition will share its latest findings on the benefits of LipoAktiv Glu 60 at the annual meeting of the American Dairy Science Association (ADSA) in Ottawa, Canada. The international symposium from 25 to 28 June offers a platform for educators, scientists and industry representatives to discuss the economic, nutritive and health requirements of dairy feed. Dr. Corinna Brock, Species Manager Ruminants at Berg + Schmidt, will present trial results on the benefits of rumen-protected sugar supplementation for dairy cows. In dairy cows, microbes metabolize nutrients in the rumen before reaching the small intestine. Therefore, substances such as glucose are only present in low concentrations in the small intestine and not able to sufficiently support the requirement of the cow. This can become a challenge when it comes to diet formulations for high-yielding dairy cows. According to the company’s statement, Berg + Schmidt uses fluid bed technology to coat nutrients with rumen-stable fat. This lipid layer surrounds the sugar, ensuring stability and preventing fermentation in the rumen, which allows for high availability and targeted feeding in the duodenum. The innovative fluid bed processing technique not only improves targeted feeding of nutrients but also brings benefits in handling, as it creates free-flowing beads with easy dosing characteristics.
