The proven effectiveness of betaine and PFAO (Aspergillus oryzae fermentation product) for proper nutritional management In this first article dedicated to heat stress, we will analyze the development of NDF 100, which, in its summer formulation with a significant addition of betaine, is marketed as

A synergistic effect for gastrointestinal system well-being Despite preventive measures, enteric infections in neonatal calves remain one of the leading causes of calf mortality. With new regulations limiting the prophylactic use of antimicrobials, there is an urgent need for alternative approaches to minimize the incidence

Performance improves when the diet is rich in metabolizable protein and balanced in terms of amino acids After calving, cows must rapidly increase dry matter intake to meet nutrient requirements and support the rise in milk production. During the first weeks of lactation, intake is

A combination that should not be underestimated and must be properly managed Editorial published in Ex-Dairy Press, 2023 Oxidative processes are fundamental to life. However, organisms with high metabolic activity—such as high-producing dairy cows—are exposed to a risk of oxidative stress, particularly during specific physiological

Physiological if mild and transient At calving, the large and sudden demand for calcium associated with the expulsive phase, together with the marked calcium outflow due to colostrum production, leads—even under optimal conditions—to a normal reduction in blood calcium levels in the cow. This condition

Climate variations in recent years, combined with current cultivation, harvesting, storage, and feed delivery techniques, have led to an increasing frequency of contamination of silages, cereals, and their by-products by fungi—particularly of the genera Aspergillus spp. and, even more so, Fusarium spp. The latter are
