Can we identify the most and least feed-efficient animals early in life to support precision feeding and genetic #selection? Check out our last paper on beef #cattle to explore early-fattening biomarkers 👉 doi.org/10.1016/j.an...

When milk prices are under pressure, inefficiency in the ration becomes costly. Even good forage can limit energy supply for high yielding cows. Improving energy density and feed conversion helps cows use forage better, supporting yield and constituents.

When milk price falls, solutions must be practical and proven. Envirolac is a palm free alternative to calcium soap, shown on farm to increase milk yield by up to 2 litres per cow, improve butterfat and protein, and do so without increasing feed intake.

When feed costs rise it can be tempting to push starch, but that risks acidosis and uneven performance. Improving energy balance, not quantity, is more sustainable. Rumen inert fats supply safe energy, support faster finishing and help reduce days to slaughter.

In tough markets it is tempting to cut inputs but cutting the wrong one can cost more in lost yield than it saves. Research shows improving feed efficiency can lift milk yield & butterfat with no increase in intakes. Efficiency beats blanket cost-cutting. #DairyNutrition #FeedEfficiency #MilkMargins

Two cattle can eat the same ration but grow at very different rates. The difference is feed conversion efficiency. Improving energy density and nutrient balance helps cattle get more gain from the same inputs. #BeefFarming #FeedEfficiency #BeefProduction #LivestockNutrition
